Just a thought with recent developments on the forum.
Which members do you all think have made a worthwhile contribution to this forum ie actually posted recipes that have been tried/tested and recommended by the forum users?
Not to say that if you haven't posted anything you aren't a worthwhile member. Some people are here to learn and are very new, and may feel silly posting a recipe that has basically been done before by other more "senior" members. Then there are others that seem to have been around forever, and have contributed little or nothing, and some just constantly seem to want to cause trouble.
My curry gurus on this forum are....in no particular order
- Chewytikka
- Stephen Lindsay
- Jerry M
- Bengal Bob
- Razor (whatever happened to him?)
- Unclefrank
- Curryhell
- JB ( his base alone makes him a curry guru in my books)
- H4ppy Chris
- And....yes .... Cory Ander. His recipes stack up....simple as, regardless of what you've heard/read/formed an opinion of. if you haven't tried his stuff because of bad publicity from certain members on here, then you are really missing out.
Some more notable newer members:
madrasAndy
Littlechillie
both 10/10 for effort. Zero for tact and diplomacy on another forum.
Also the guy who gave us the Glasgow base....superb.
I'm sure I've missed out more than a few names that have guided me on my way, and if i have I apologise.
So, who, in your opinion, is worthy of a "Top man" badge in the curry world?

Cheers Mick ;D
As for all the others I wouldn't like to pick, not saying that I couldn't but I don't really find it necessary
-
Top Man badge? Easy peasy - Stu, for creating the best Internet BIR knowledge base in the first place. Although his choice of moderators past and present has always been a bit questionable ::)

Isn't this just as bad as George's 'Pioneer of the Year' ?
-
Hang him ;)
-
Are you ok, Michael. Just a little concerned, what with your 'bring back hanging' thread and another reference to hanging.
You haven't recently converted to UKIP have you?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Can't Aussi Mick come up with anything original?

Sorry Garp
Just my feeble attempt to be funny :-\ Or not :)

No need to apologise MT. I know your comments are always meant in a fun way.
Enjoy your meal bud :)

I would argue the point that imitation is, indeed, flattery. But only if the imitation is based on an idea which is worthwhile, and the imitation would gain some credit for it.
In this instance, I would say that imitating a bad idea may be flattering, but also misguided :)
-
Thanks Garp
My wife says I go too far sometimes ::)
I wish she would
-
Not quite sure how, or if, I should answer that :P
Have fun Mr & Mrs T :)
-
;D

I can think of 2 more Bruce Edwards and well........ ME! not happy! its not how much you post its what you post and I think the fact I have been inside their kitchens posted their recipes on here for you all to see must count for something?
gary
-
Well done mate, and congratulations on nominating yourself.
Perhaps you would be better joining Bruce's self-conglatory forum.
-
hi garp I think that's a little unfair as I have been here since the beginning of cr0! and have posted when I have some useful input to help newbies in their quest! and I think if you look at some of jerrys' post it is the recipes I posted that he uses! I'm a little upset at being forgotten that's all not blowing my own trumpet! have you tried any of bruces' recipes? remember he got in there before anyone on this forum did and before cr0 was a twinkle in stu's eye! respect your cr0 elders lol that are still around! I mean how many peeps on this site have actually cooked their recipes for a restaurant and been offered to go into to partnership with you??????
kind regards
gary :P

Parker21,
You have no need for fame.
People never fail to amaze - my fav (most frequent) thought being - you can lead a horse to water but not make him drink. It's essentially the same as - there is no one more deaf than those that dont want to hear.
Your no 1 fan. I also sure that many less vocal members will think same.
I'd add CBM .
-
Apologies, Mr Parker.
-
Gary your Ashoka posts were brilliant and I've never forgotten them but a few who have contributed to this thread became active after they were posted. I think it's a time thing and in no way reflects on the importance of your contribution.

SL, totally agree.
when i first enlisted there was Stephen Lindsay, Curryhell, Razor and Chewytikka who were the prominent posters. probably the reason why I am such a great curry chef now, albeit in my own mind (my friends and family love it tho)...lol.

Panpot stuck the Ashoka report up Stephen. Parker did Mouchak among others if I remember right

The point I was trying to make was that there are only a few people on this site that actually contribute anything worthwhile, and to those people I am eternally grateful.
Then there are the silent majority that are here to learn....no problems with that at all.
My problem is with the "very small" minority that constantly seem to want to cause friction, and most of this minority have given very little to this forum. No names to be mentioned, but I'm sure most sensible users of this forum know who they are.
On a certain other forum, such behavior is not tolerated, and is then ridiculed by this "certain few" on here........................ ??? ::)
-
A Mick - AGREED proper Nob - heads - some dont have a recipe posted anywhere but constantly post criticism about others which pulls this site down - i would like to say yet again this is PROBABLY THE BEST there is - all the others are OK but this has a wealth of knowledge and posts on from an assortment of folks new old - nearly forgotten - one stop wonders.... from way back to now
Still the best in my opinion
best, Rich

You know where the other forum is. Don't let us keep you. ;)

For that Homer moment I can only say one thing -"doh!"
Apologies to Panpot and Parker!

lol!!!

Notwithstanding the crapness of the original idea, how come Stephen Lindsey not on the list?

Not withstanding the crapness of your observation.............he is ;)

And there is a voice from that "certain minority" forever loud and full of nothingness.

Well done on spelling his name right. One of us had to. Just testing! :)
No offence. Just that it was so similar to George's idea, it was unable to disassociate itself from that very crapness :D
-
i would like to say yet again this is PROBABLY THE BEST there is -
There is certainly a wealth of information on here Rich. For me, the problem is that sometimes (not all the time) you have to wade through a fair bit of junk to get to that information.
On the other site..............you don't.
Seeing as the "other" site is just a baby in comparison to this one, in time, it will become the number 1 site for people serious about cooking BIR at home.
I can see the appeal of this place, as you can have a laff, and get side- tracked with other stuff too, which is fine. The other forum owner simply wants a site that is as close to 100% BIR related info as is possible. It's beyond my comprehension why people can't see/appreciate that.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the owner asks for NO donations, he has NO advertisng, stands for NO crap. He is passionate about forwarding the BIR cause for all who wish to benefit.
I have learned so much from this site, and when i went into my own BIR business, i freely shared all that I had learned, to try and give something back. Some of my posts were ridiculed, others were largely ignored. No problems with that, unless the ridiculers are people that have contributed absolutely NOTHING............and guess what...........most of them were of that ilk. ::)
-
Well done on spelling his name right. One of us had to. Just testing! :)
Sorry, didn't realise it was a spelling conscious site.
If Stephen takes offence because I spelt his name wrong, I offer my apologies. If it bothers you because I spelt somebodies name wrong, well frankly, I ain't bovvered. ;)

Why should I care? If your great-greate-etc-grandad hadn't been a horse thief, you'd be one of us :D

In total agreement Rich except i would lose the "probably" ;)
"Guru"? Me? Eh, no, just another poster like all those others who have gone before me, are here now and those who are yet to come, all who have, are and will continue to further the home BIR cause :)
And just for the record before George goes off on one ........
his choice of moderators past and present has always been a bit questionable ::)
My comment refers to George the moderator, not George the poster or person ;)

Me too. I expect he's a nice enough bloke normally.

Just for you ;)

I very much doubt that..........but, we're all different.....eh? ;)

Probability - unlikely

Really :o :o I think not - he wants a little bit more than that mate. It's as clear as day. One only has to check in occasionally to see it. You believe what you want to AM/BI. Far too much bandwidth has been wasted here recently on the other site and its dictator :-X
-

Classic!!! :D

Well CH, I respect and admire you for what you have contributed.
Out of all the members of this forum, I have met 2 or 3 personally. I have a mutual respect for those fellas too.
Seeing as I live in Perth, Australia, and so does the owner of the "other" forum, I suppose it was a reality that we would eventually meet up.....and we did.
We now meet up for a curry and a chat and a beer with another forum member too a few times a year, and it's something I look forward to. Taking people at their typed comments is different to actually meeting and conversing with a "real" person.
The owner of the "other" forum is one of the nicest blokes you could wish to meet, and I regard him as a friend. I admire him for the contribution he has made, and continues to make to the BIR cause. Yes, he is passionate about BIR and in sharing his knowledge and he doesn't suffer fools lightly. But to be labelled as a "dictator" is un-called for is is extremely unfair. Do you know him? have you met the guy? If you have and you have formed that opinion, well, i would have to accept it as just that...............your opinion. I, however, could not agree with your comments.

And your point is?????????
-
It sounded rather obnoxious behaviour.

Well you should know all about obnoxious behaviour Mr. "Currier". Weren't you banned from the forum for being............well..............obnoxious?????????
-
Careful. As a lot of people here also have- his definition of obnoxious being different to sensible peoples. So ask your mate why it is acceptable to put photos of them on the internet :D
FYI, he is a hypocite. I was banned for repeatedly asking him why he (so-called) copyrighted all his recipes, but thought it was ok to C&P others from the web with no acknowledgment. Ask him how he justifies his thefts.
-
Well CH, I respect and admire you for what you have contributed.
Thank you, and I you, for your own achievements down under running your own BIR.
I, however, could not agree with your comments.
That is your right AM. My best mate is a lovely bloke, a real diamond geezer if you forgive the speak :) But put him behind the wheel of a car, and it's a serious case of Jeckel and Hyde. I think you get my meaning ;)
Enough said on this topic from me, back to what we're here for :) Other than:
Onions, ensure you get all your facts correct before posting. CA is blamed for many things, he had nothing to do with that to which you refer with regard to the posting of pictures!!!
-
Apologies! He's just a thief then, just not a threatening one :D
-
And you, Onions (on here)/Currier (formerly on bircurries but banned for repeatedly being a prat)/Grotesque(on RCR) should be more careful that you don't lay yourself (and the owner of this forum) open to a libel suit.....>:(
I imagine it would be very clear to anyone that you intend to behave like a prat wherever you go.
CH, it seems to me that you (and several others) are only mouthy when you feel that someone isn't in a position to defend themselves. I wonder how brave you'd be in real life? Mouthy still, I'm sure, but brave? Doubt it very much.
-
On the contrary, your legal threats will get you nowhere (Mr can't copyright but will anyway!!!). In fact you should count probably count yourself lucky that you on this site are not treated as you are on your own. Hypocrite.
And, on edit, if you call someone a prat I suppose you get used to being told to (moderated) off don't you?
-
Hopefully Stu shares your views mate. Because it is him that will bear the brunt of it if he doesn't sort it out.
Yes, members aren't allowed to denigrate other members, on BIRCurries, such as you (and several other members continually do) here. Or, for that matter, denigrate other people in general (whether they are members of the forum or not).
And, for your information, I said that you repeatedly behaved like a prat on BIRCurries. Fact. Which is why you were banned. And you clearly still behave like a prat on this forum too. And on RCR.
I can only presume that Stew is only interested in generating revenue, here, at the expense of a civilised, constructive, positive and genuinely helpful and friendly culture.
Unfortunately, one or two bad apples have continually spoilt the barrel on this forum. And they still do. You fit in well here. Enjoy your stay. And Stu allows it to continue (and/or doesn't actually give a damn).
-
Except you of course. Do you rejoice in your hypocrisy?
Actually you know perfectly well it was because I called you out on your ignorance of the law- and am tempted to do so again!
PS- I'm on your forum at the moment. And very quietly (moderated) myself at you!!! :D
-

I agree. I will make another 'representation' to Admin/Stew (and I don't mean about you!)
As I've said before, he's a lot more tolerant than I would be. How many 'strikes' does it take before someone is 'out'? Onions must be someone else under a relatively new ID. How else would Onions know to trawl back to 2012 to look up, and regurgitate a regrettable spat I had with CBM?
-
What spat with CBM? And why haven't you edited CA's posts as well?
PS- NOT anyone else under a different name. Change the record- someone gets accused of that every day!!! :D
-
Onions start contributing positively please otherwise you will be banned for 30 days.
I don't want to ban anyone but please contribute in the spirit of the forum as complaints keep coming in!
Thanks
Stew
-
(Moderated) !!!
I stand by what I said, but as a quid pro quo, etc, you get the picture ;) No worries Stew. Cheers!
