ESEE forum closed... bummer.

@ Bastid: talking about logic - here's a chance to get more specific: please explain to me how making esee quit this platform means to nourish the knife community?
@ Blues: what makes this forum valuable is the diversity. different posts by different people make it thrive. there's no bigger contribution to it.

 

:foot:
NO ONE MADE THEM QUIT.
They decided to go elsewhere.
Which is annoying, but allowed in a free country.
Whatever.

 

Elliot, you just nailed everything that needed to be said. There is no reason to, and nobody is asking anyone to pick a side. ESEE and BF's aren't. None of us need to fall on our sword over a decision made by a couple of business owners and grown men.

 

thanks for taking the time to explain that. of course to know that changes a lot for me - i had the wrong impression then it seems.
sad they decided like that - i will not follow numerous posts in numerous threads in numerous subforums in numerous forums. time is precious.
if you were talking about my posts - i wasn't aware of sniping anyone - and it was surely not my intention. sorry to anyone who took a hit

Wow, everyone gets cranky when changes occur. Cool, now I have a place to go just for ESEE stuff.

 

Isn't this what happened with the Strider forum, in a nutshell? Wanting complete control over their sub-forum, and then leaving when they couldn't get it?

 

You were using the word "clique" in a positive way and not pejoratively..... right?

 

i hope you do - you deserve it!!i!

 

Yeah man there are lots of other good ones out there, but again this is my fave for knives and stuff. The other Knife forum has a bigger SAK sub forum, Fallkniven, and other brands I like that don't have as big, if any presence here right now. Hopefully that may change in the future.
I've seen several members here over on a few of those other forums too.

Again don't take this wrong, I'm not promoting that you leave here to go to another. There's no limit on how many you can be a member of, so go check others out and join them too if you see fit. I'm not gonna name actual forum names here since I don't know if it's considered bad etiquette here.

Cheers bud.

 

Folks, I'm just as curious as the next guy. I'm a huge fan of ESEE knives also. But either way, the info doesn't change the outcome.

Time to just move on IMHO. This isn't going to effect bladeforums and it's level of awesomeness.

So, big thanks to Blues, Bastid, Spark and everyone else that makes this place such an awesome spot to talk about blades. You guys do a kick ass job, and I appreciate all the hard work. I don't think anyone who has been here very long would think that Spark and the rest of the Moderators do anything other than encourage and facilitate the best they can for awesome knife discussion.

It's not the first forum to be closed, and it won't be the last.

When one door is closed, a new one opens!

This is what I'm doing ... even though I genuinely have little time.

It's not hard. I support BF ... I support ESEE. Two more clicks won't hurt.

And, BTW, I support Ken C. Here, there ... anywhere. He's a good troop.

 

Respect.

Nuttin' but respect.:thumbup:

 

I respect someone standing for what they believe in. I do NOT respect a grown ass adult who throws what is tantamount to a 5 year old temper tantrum when he doesn't get his way. I go out of my way to NOT associate with people who can't keep their S together over things that are insignifacant. Life's too short to deal with a man PMSing.

 

My thoughts word for word. :thumbup:

I'd also like to add that anyone jumping on the bandwagon to insult Ken here or over there without knowing the details should be ashamed of themselves. I respect the heck out of Jeff and Mike, but you can't listen to half the story and assume the rest. Don't be lemmings.
