Topic: Is CRO destroying itself?

[Aussie Mick]

After recent events, it has really got me thinking, call it a conspiracy theory but, here's me opinion.

The owner (who set up this site with the best on intentions) now sees himself with a good source of income. The more posts, the more advertisers, the more advertisers, the more revenue, the more revenue, the higher $$$$$ value of the site if it's to be sold. No doubt, this site would be worth a good few grand if sold tomorrow.

Do any of you frequent other website forums? Do you know any other forum as large as this one that has only one moderator that has any power? I certainly don't.

Do you know any other moderator that constantly stirs things up to create debate/arguments.....then tends to take a backseat??? No, me neither.

Do you know any other forum that welcomes (known) [banned from other sites] trouble-causers with open arms and then not only stands by and watches these trouble causers continue to spout sh1te, but the moderator actually joins in/encourages them to? Nope, me neither.

It's still a great source of info here, but the sh1te is growing in proportion to the good stuff daily. IMHO, it's now a money making venture first and foremost with some useful info if you look for it. George is there to stimulate debate/argument to increase posts..............and boy does he do a good job.

Three or four other posters on here (who have never contributed a recipe between them) continue with the insults/snide remarks and get away with it. Ask yourself why? because they have very high post numbers.....bringing in more revenue. They can always be relied upon to stir up crap without contributing anything worthwhile.

IMHO, either, the owner will sell and make some money out of it (good luck to him if he does). Maybe the new owners will sort this place out. Or, it will implode. Too much crap, and most people with any common sense will look elsewhere. If i wanted to talk sh1te with people, I'd go to a "talk sh1te" kind of forum. If i wanted to learn/share cooking experiences on a certain food culture, I'd look for a forum that concentrates on recipes/experiences.

Just my opinon 

Bye folks.

Oh dear :

No, that's not true
Stu set this site up because he got fed up with the in2curry site losing all the the threads
he was going to get rid of the cr0 site a few years back, but continued because so many people (including me) got upset
I think Stu only keeps it going, because he's a nice bloke
It doesn't make money, it costs to run
Servers etc

Aussimick aka CA Sverige mike hunt all with the same digital address
There is a concerted effort from down under to wreck this forum as there is no other reason to keep using foul language after all the complaints from members
Also whats the point of untruths
Most of your post is to promote the bunker site and recruiting to members
Is CRO destroying itself ?NO it gets stronger by good pruning
I now have a bigger ignore list

I'd like to see that accusation proved .............as you and I both know it would be impossible. I am me, and me alone. I am BI on another site.

I can assure you there is no concerted effort to wreck anything. i only cropped up again to defend somebody who (I assumed) was unable to defend himself. The point of untruths??? I wouldn't know, as I try my best not to (knowingly) tell lies....that's the kind of person I am. If it's untruths you would like to know about, well, look a bit closer to home.

Haldi, if that's true, i hold my hands up and admit I'm wrong (I wish others would). However, apart from the revenue bit of my comments, the rest pretty much rings true..... don't you think?

Mick, your really showing your true colours here, as you do on your home forum. Let's just hope everyone sees who you really are.

[Aussie Mick]

Like I said, look a bit closer to home.  :

George, you really are a star.

If it wasn't for you causing trouble with your "dummy prize" statement, I wouldn't even be here. So now you are accusing ME of being the trouble causer. George, you are getting a taste of your own medicine. The same medicine that you have dished out for a long, long time.

Everybody has their limits.......


How the feck can you nominate a "dummy prize" to somebody who's recipes are tried and tested, and takes/took the time to photograph every recipe cooked , and itemise, clearly and concisely every single step of the cooking process???

Where are all your recipes George???

[Aussie Mick]

By the way, please ask Stew to research the IP addresses and please post the results here. I repeat again, I have NOTHING to hide. I am only me. I am British Indian on the other site, there really is nothing else to report. :

Grow up, the dummy prize has nothing to do with you unless noble ox is correct , so why are you here?
To cause arguments and recruit new members as your site is failing

Where are all your recipes mick?
