The 'other' RCR curry forum has been offline for a few days now - at least for me! - anybody know what is going on?
Regards
John

Pirate bays servers were raided by the police, was in the news yesterday, plenty of other sources for torrents
-
Gaz,
Are there any torrent sites about where you don't have to use a proxy server??
The last one I had (without server) was "Torlock" has now been shut down. ::)

Google speed CD

Cheers Gaz. ;D

best, Rich

That didn't take long - cheers Rich. It has a better look and feel and it's faster than the old one. Also no pervy ads....
Strangely enough, RCR is back too. I told you there was a connection :)
-
That's not the new piratebay it's iso hunt making a new page in honour of the piratebay, I'm sure the piratebay will pop back up at some point
-
I received an email from RCR a few weeks back reminding me that my subscription was about to time out and offering to take some more coin from me. Ahh, no thanks.
-
That's the way Livo, Why pay for info, when it's all on cr0 for Free. ;)
And freedom of speech also,..bonus

Real Curry Recipes.

Real Curry Recipes.
or "Rip-off Curry Recipes", as it's known in the trade :)
-
Real Curry Recipes.
And it is a pay site?
How much?
-
At the great risk of being terminated I give to you RCR
http://www.realcurryrecipes.co.uk/index.html (http://www.realcurryrecipes.co.uk/index.html)
According to the blurb it's free to join and view the recipes. I suspect there is a catch in there somewhere if livo had to renew his subscription ;)
The catch is here ;D

My search began with me trying to find a recipe for "Mango Chicken".
It was the first site I came across in my search a few years back so I joined up only to find that the "good" information was behind a "pay to open door". I took what I could from the non pay area and was left a little disappointed so didn't bother any more. Then after a few years I went back and tried to re-enter but all attempts to recover my lost password went unattended over several requests so I eventually created a new account and actually paid the minimum for a subscription.
Again I brought it to the attention of the admins that I had 2 accounts and wanted it corrected to no avail. If they weren't bothered then why should I be? There was an email a while back announcing the addition of a "New Recipes Set", complete with new bases and recipes to come. Nope. Nothing. Never happened and requests to find out about it went unanswered.
In the mean time I found this site which actually provided good quality info and friendly interaction (mostly). I had a recipe for "Mango Chicken" within a very short time, so the invitation to part with more money for nothing was easily declined. As well as this, members are constantly told that their password has expired and needs to be changed. It's a recipe site for goodness sake. My bank doesn't insist on forced password changes.
-
Thanks for the info.
I'll steer clear of that particular site.

RCR - A complete money making scam providing information from this site that is all available for free on here. I notice there are members from there that are always logging on gathering info but never posting >:(

Bit of a sweeping statement madrasandy. Have you any proof to back any of it up?
I see forums like pubs, you pop in have a pint. Sometimes you have a chat sometimes you don't. Sometimes you move on to the next pub. You may go for months drinking in your favourite pubs and never talk to anyone, is that a problem?

And do you have any proof that they don't, ;)
This cannot be verified neither one way or the other

I know for a fact that a senior member of Rcr trawls this site but doesn't contribute
-
And I well suspect that the OP is just trying to generate interest in the site and drum up business like others have just recently. This whole thread should be deleted IMO
-

Is there anything wrong with that?
Forums are either private or public. This ones public.
Anyone can pop in and have a look around what's wrong with that?
I just hate the them and us thing.

That should be clear enough to anyone including members from other sites.

I respectfully disagree. "cawsandcook" had the courtesy to sign himself with his real name (John), something I would not expect an agent provocateur to do.

Actually Livo
That was the reason i came off RCR - it was always bugging me for passwords which was irritating to say the least - not being able to just log in.
As far as the paying for membership goes that can be taken both ways - it restricts all recipes for members only - which is not a bad thing.
In all honesty i have found this site CRO to be the best on the net - for info - and the bunch on here are OK some very good chefs and some very enthusiastic cooks.
As far as senior members of RCR keep checking in here on CRO - you will find that those members are members here also and dont post anymore - for their own personal reasons to which i have been privy to knowing and respect that. They have made a considerable impact in the world of bir and 3 forums to which I have been and still are a member of........
There has been many a word spoken.... which should not deviate from the knowledge gained for all over the years.
Lets hope they keep checking in and eventually return to post on this site -
best, Rich

I agree wholeheartedly les. However I have never seen any info from here copied over to there. I may be wrong.

Agreed Rich, and some others refrain from posting ::)

I like Daveyham's pub analogy. I don't know about you, but my bookmarks bar is bristling with sites and if I tried to visit them all regularly I would turn into vegetable matter. I'm more likely to visit sites that are busy, and RCR has suffered a recent downturn in that respect. I think the monthly password reset had a lot to do with it, but that has been fixed and it now rotates on a twice-yearly basis, so time will tell whether the active membership picks up.
Personally, I visit the sites for different reasons: I view this site as a trail-blazing R&D lab where there is a lot of passion and opinion; RCR has more of a reference function. I can't comment about the rights and wrongs of who should be publishing what because I just don't know.
In my opinion both sites are good.
Any website will eventually die if it isn't monetized. This site and RCR employ different models, but surely that just gives us more choice? We can choose to browse for free with ads, or pay a sub. No-one is forced to belong to either site, after all.
Cheers,
Tim

It is if the landlords name is Les Jones. ;)

Ok maybe I was a little forward but after the Chukit, Bruce , Mike Hunt, Aussie Mick attempts to de-rail and troll this forum, when somebody else starts posting about other forums I become sceptical. As for members who used to contribute a lot and now just voyeur, I don't know their reasons why, but surely if you are still interested in and still log on to a forum daily you should at least contribute?

That's my point , everything he is against on his forum he is even more guilty of, double standards
