There are lots of good hearted and generous folks in here and this kindheartedness of CPKers shall not change despite this unfortunate incident. I just implore some of you to be a little more careful when gifting memberships to new members and if you must (again we are talking new members and not someone who we've come to know for looong) just gift them the basic; if they want more, they can always upgrade by spending their own dough. My as always worthless 2 cents :)

Who the hell are you calling good hearted and generous?

That’s a damn bannable offense right there!

First of all I will answer @DickyTwoPoinOne (oh dang this auto-correct, I meant Dicky... sh*it I said I meant Dicky... whatever...)

Yeah I completely understand you, poor you.. It seems I've been annoying you from beginning, was you also jelly as I got more attention than you? Man so much hate... chill a bit..

Firstly I'm not from Russia, I'm from Georgia. If you would have read carefuly you would read that I wrote "it's small country under Russia"..

Secondly you aren't in my situation and hope that you won't ever be, idk how would you overcome it.
So before openning you mouth and judging me or somebody else, force yourself to remember that you arent judge here..

About legitness, I've totally honestly told everyone my story, so now it's up to them to belive or not to belive me.
So who knows me better than you, knows also that we had huge expenses (maybe it's not huge for someone like you but it's huge for us) and that locally everyone helped us, starting from families, ending with government.

About recap:

1. I had my reasons why I joined bladeforums (actually because of Nathan and my respect his blades (and wanted to get one))

2. After getting one, I ended up by staying on forums (CPK subforum) because I found myself in "home". So my sharpening thread was solely to help guys in CPK family, as sharpening is whole different universe and there are lots of small but important thing which have to be considered.

3. Kind members didn't gifted membership because I've asked. I never asked for it.
My gold membership was act of kindness, when man who gifted it wanted good for me (for records it was before I've wrote that sharpening thread, also his kindness was one of reasons why I've stayed on forums).
About my knifemaker membership, I didn't asked for it either but another open hearted man gifted it by himself to help me.

4. There are several reasons why I've pm'd people with offer to buy my sword.
Firstly I pm'd those who I do respect and wanted my sword to be with them if they also wanted it.
Secondly I've pm'd only CPK family members, with request and as they where CPK family members was ready to give them cheaper (I've mentioned that I was going to list it for bit higher price for others).

Overpriced? Have you ever tried to craft one by yourself? Have you seen Keffelers or Tendicks sword prices? They where sold for around 5k USD and where built simplier, wheren't mirror polished and aesthetically traditional japanese... (to make it clear I don't say that I'm Keffelers or Tendicks level, tho I've been working on blades for around 12 years and modern day blade smiths are stock removals mostly, so steel is same (mine and Keffeler heat treat matches also) and visuals are difference).
I was always saying that I was crafting it for myself, but knowing estimate price I had thought that someday I may would have to sell it for expenses.. never thought that it would come this fast..

Btw I had Borscht Soup today, and I see you had your Bull Sh*it also.

About copy of my pm, I guess I already wrote it up in number 4.
It's useless to tell you to try understand my situation, as you won't ever understand it because you aren't me, and you haven't passed what I have passed.
So I won't tell you to try think what you would do if you where me and faced my problems.

After you Dicky, Casinostocks wrote so I want to answer him also.

If I where you, I would "Investigate" this fact too, just for curiosity..

I honestly wrote that I was desperate and thought that opening and asking for gofoundme was only way I had left to do, yes I was mistaken it wasn't only way and I've said it already in my previous post and I won't be shy to ask forgivness for my mistakes over and over again.

About sword, I was making it for 1 year and for myself.
I contacted Nathan via email almost 1 years ago and asked him to help me with heat treat. He explained me everything, even told me austenitizing temperature and tempering temperatures (which I won't wrote here, evenmore he explained how to HT A2 in detaild but it's different story, thank you Nathan for being heloful). He told me that Delta 3V is proprietary but Brad can heat treat my sword with "Pre Delta 3V" protocol which immediately preceded the Delta protocol.
I still have copies of emails between me and Nathan and Brad, I also have screenshots of documents where it's clearly writen whenit was heat treated, where it was ht'd, who did ht and what steel and what RC is it.

About your vision of me PM'ing everybody, I've pm'd not everybody with request of buying my sword. I pm'd people who more or less knew me (from subforum).
So actually there are special people for me out here who I pm'd first, then after recivig their answers pm'd rest CPK family members.
And honestly every CPK family member is special for me.

About refounding membership money, I wrote it also in past post and I will write it again that, take it if you want, I don't deserve it. And I hope they will refound this two great persons.

About ban-hammer, if you think my desperate actions deserve ban-hammer go on and drop it on me, I deserve that also and Dicky will be happy also..

Oh and again Dickys post, about nigeria. Dude I hope you are kidding or do you actually think that random spam on email about niger is same story as mine? If you think so I don't think that you understand anything I wrote here and there is no sense to talk with you.

About Russia again, dude this is Georgia.

Guy/girl? At least I'm not Dick-y...
I already said that I was desperate and mistsken and it's not your buisness to judge it over and over, I guess I've pissed you a lot but I haven't called you Dick-y before and haven't did anything "bad" to you (not counting pm), but now after reading all this I guess you are all in flames...

Lorien I hope you joked about 3V knife heat treated in Delta protocol, as I've always clearly wrote that it was Pre Delta protocol.

Anyways I had many different thoughts and feelings after what has happened, I even thought about myself like John Wick breaking rules and being hunted by protectors of "rules".
Well it's kind of a joke I tried to cheer myself...

In other words I do know forum rules, and I do respect them, tho I overstepped them because I was desperate and that was big mistake by my side and if I won't get banned it won't happen anymore, and if I will get banned what else can I honestly say, I deserve it.

As for CPK subforum, I honestly enjoyed it and tried to be part of "family", tho some might think that I've acted disrespectfuly with CPK family, I never meant it, and I'm honestly sorry for it.

As for CPK family, I'm sorry guys for everything, I respect all you end never meant to offend anybody here by my actions. And I love you guys as I can and I'm sorry for everything (I'm sorry to you Petey also, tho I've called you Dicky when I started writing this, I was honestly pissed off but now I'm not but still left everything un-edited so it will be bit fun as I'm tired of this drama, and I think many members are tired of it also).

To sum up everything, all I can say that I am sorry. I'm completely honest with you guys and if you can't accept me like this what else I can do? I won't continue writing about my problems and why all this happened, fact is that it happened and now it's "fixed" (I mean forum mess around me, now everything is clear) why should I or somebody else continue talking about that when everything is already said several times? No sense.

Again I'm sorry guys and I hope this is my last post about myself and my story.

For god's sake let's end this drama and if mods/supermods/spark will decide that I must be banned, ban me and end this story, give rest to other CPK'ers.
All I can say is that I'm honestly sorry for everything what I've did, it was stupid and self-minded from my side. Desperation isn't excuse I know.

So I'm sorry.

Be healthy and may god protect you all with your families.

Beat wishes to CPK family members and all knife lovers out here.

Go away.

ETA didn't see Nathan's epic wielding of the hammer of BAN.

Nicely done.
 
Other than spam-bots I can't remember the last time I banned a BF member. I try to be pretty chill and I've found that most people are decent folks who respond to a well worded warning. In retrospect I can see this guy came onto the forum to hawk his goods. There's a right way to do that: make product, demonstrate product, sell product, grow your reputation through quality work and word-of-mouth and EARN your place. But displaying your work in inappropriate places, sending people PMs offering "special deals" and taking over my forum to plead for handouts pisses me off. Then to have the audacity to turn around and disparage a long standing high quality member was the final straw. "Miracle", if you're reading this, understand that you're not welcome here anymore.:thumbsdown:
 
Often times I see newly registered users having a tough time navigating the site or getting bent out of shape over silly shit. I try to help them by “gifting” them a basic membership so that myself and others are able to PM them with some help.
Admittedly, that was the case here. I “gifted” miracle his basic membership.
I never do this seeking public or private thanks for the gift. I often send a PM welcoming them aboard.
To be honest, I may stop doing it. Not because of this particular situation, but because about half the people I’ve gifted basic membership to, have turned out to be total tools!

You're the best of what BF has to offer. :thumbsup::):thumbsup:

You change your behaviors if that's what you want to do-- but I believe what happened with Miracle was 110% on him, no one else.
 
It didn't escape me that Nika even took a shot at me and my "investigation" of his cause / plight / situation as I had posted a few posts back after more causes for concern had come to light. The guy as we know it has now been banned so it is in bad taste to speak ill of the departed. He may grow up some more if he was indeed only 25, although we can not compare their millennials to our own, and consider all these as a learning lesson.

I have come to learn that in western countries, hyper eagerness by strangers (whether in cyber or IRL) is often viewed with some form of justifiable skepticism but I have also come to find out that Americans are actually much more friendly right off the bat as compared to the Limeys or the Krauts ( :D ) who are generally more cautious toward strangers. However if some of you have been around the Globe a bit, you will find some cultures/nations are very, very welcoming by their natives. Anyway going at aa tangent again but I also feel like Nathan that Nika was more interested in marketing as opposed to being completely true to form with CPK family this and family that. Right before he was banned, he stopped following Nathan / Jo in his profile and only Martin (Woodysone) had remained as a following / follower member because they had completed a successful trade I suppose.

End of investigation ;)
