Good MA thread just vanished!!!!

Uh oh, headed to same fate..

Gets a bit much to constantly go on about MA suckage. I don't like them either, but going on other forums to flame Jason, then post links back to flamefest threads here isn't cool. Esp w. pics of gunshot victim packs in the same post.

This is Mike's business forum, and he's not at war w/ Maxamps, so constantly involving him in one isn't in the spirit or purpose of these forums.

By all means flame away somewhere else (RCZ, RCT, RCU, etc) but understand where you are at here and what the purpose is. Legitimate product discussion is fine, but should be backed up by observation, comparison or relevant discussion, not just a "MA sucks balls" bonfire every week. Makes Mike and the rest of the guys here seem a bit squirrel douchey, and that's not a way to attract customers or helpful members.

I agree with the sentiments of your post. But I do find what was going on over there amuzing (I love it when someone calls out an "industry leader") and would never have found it if not linked. But it should not be continued here. I hope the site can continue to attract type of memebers who's posts of "observation, comparison blah blah blah" helped me to ignore all the hype.

Was that really a gunshot victim or figure of speech?

Yeah man, I'm not suggesting we get all Chinese gov't and pretend and censor our opinions, but "Porra"'s postings were very good, relevant and backed by a good point and experience. That's the way it should be. People should be challenged. MA, CC, anybody, on the products they sell and their quality/value.

The other (now deleted post) was just a rant, link to a flamefest here, and a pic of a burned up MA pack w/ bullet holes in it. Not so helpful.

Sticking to the former rather than the later makes a more useful and respectable forum IMO.

Agree again. I always like being the bigger person and not joining a flame, but its like a guilty pleasure I can't help but watch (and make nonpartial comments) sometimes. Something about their reaction to their products being bashed on what should have been a q+a of their new products debut is too funny though. But if they can forget to put battery bars on my clear shrinked nimh packs, I should get to enjoy a laugh at their expense. Ok I'm done, next.
