List of how Not to start a thread on CPF

[TITAN1833]

Guys your'e killing me no that's not the thread starter!this one has cracked me up for years,although it was posted on CPFMP.

Incredible Deal. I have 5000 LIL BUDDY 13 LED FLASHLIGHTS FOR SALE-NOW ONLY $5.90ea.Much brighter!! even than surefire flashlight.

LOL "what all 5000 turned on at once?" RAFLMO

"yes we have tested many"

Ok was the surefire turned on when you tested? :laughing:

In all honesty, is there any difference between Possible Jeers, Reluctant Jeers and Jeers when it's actually posted in the Jeers section? :shrug:

:thinking: :shrug:

Sounds like you all have covered the bases of what threads not to start. Are there any thread topics that are still allowed? I thought this was a forum? :wave:

 

[nbp]

I sometimes weary of the rapidfire thread starting too...

A few days ago, I opened the LED subforum I think, and there were at least TEN different threads by the same member on the FIRST page.

It would seem those questions could be asked together in one thread perhaps. :thinking:

Or two could be asked, and then eight could be searched for....

3.- Show me your flashlight

(I'll show you mine if you show me yours!)

:banned:

That wasn't necessary. If you don't like this thread, don't post here.

This is our way of venting and also having alittle fun.

But then you have to say exactly the same thing when there's a thread someone doesn't like and feels like ripping on the original poster. Some people are a little too quick to chide the poster for not doing a search first. So what? Like you just said, "If you don't like this thread, don't post here." Maybe everyone should take that as a piece of advice-for every thread.

Just thought of another one...

"Where are all the women on CPF?"

1) Most don't want to get dating requests in their inboxes.

2) They don't want guys acting funny around them when they just want to talk about lights.

3) They don't want to take a chance on getting their own personal e-stalker.

4) They don't want to date you.

5) Greta banned all of them from CPF for life, so she could be the only one.

*Please select one of the above, and move on.

- Please give me really great advice on the best AA rechargable batteries (that I will promptly ignore because I found a great deal on 3500mAh enefrauds on DX for $1 less.)
Hint: Silverfox should not be ignored.


- I would like advice on the best light for (caving, backpacking, law enforcement) from CPF members who have never done these things a day in their life, but just got a really cool light they want to promote in every thread they can.
Get yourself a Ra Clicky because I love mine, It's great for underwater law enforcement in caves, the tactical strobe works great on alien half-breeds (or so i hear):devil:
PS here is hotlinked pic that is 800k & 1600 pixels wide:

And the infamous:
- Is SOS a useful feature?
The answer is 66% No and 33% Yes, but we are all agree it should be hidden in the UI.

:nana:

...
4) They don't want to date you.

AW shucks - why not? :naughty:
We would both like flashlights and batteries.
What other reasons, for goodness sakes, could there be for a match made in heaven?? :thinking:

...What other reasons, for goodness sakes, could there be for a match made in heaven?? :thinking:

Just what makes you so sure (#1) - it would be a "match" and (#2) why made in "heaven"?
You might get the exact opposite and she might just need a shave as well!!

[PetaBread]

Nah, that's more like one of the top 5. 😗

 

[Pekka]

So something like this would be a sure hit? 😀

"Noob here, this is a dump question but is my Coast light good? I got for 50 dollars... Also, what would you recommend in the 50 dollar range? I want the most bad*ss light that uses AA batteries. You could show me some of yours...
p.s. why isn't there a light buying sticky??"

 

[TITAN1833]

50 dollar range hmm? how about a box of matches 😀

 

[Hooked on Fenix]

Why is my lithium battery powered *****fire light getting hot and smoking? I put fresh $1 Chinese batteries in it 5 hours ago.

 

[xcel730]
