So....if I pop in every day and say Howdy without any other content will that qualify or is that just trolling, want to get the ground rules straight. Sometimes I just like to pop in and admire all the fine knives the members have, and I don't have anything earth shattering to add that hasn't already been said, but I suspect that's considered Negative Participation.
Misplaced Hillbilly? More like Misplaced aggression,lol!
Well, it's great then that you've volunteered yours for testing! Can't wait to see the video! LOL
You're right, I rarely post anywhere else but here, and if any other sub-forums decide to get a knife together, I won't be elbowing my way in, and getting snotty with people there, because I don't fulfill their chosen criteria. To do that, I'd consider was pretty bad manners.
With respect, isn't it you who has the YouTube channel?
Firstly, a correction. I do know who you are, I just don't care, and I don't sub to your channel. The tone of some of your comments in this thread make it clear that it was your lowkey expectation that people were supposed to have some sudden respect and deference for you when it was revealed that you're some Youtuber with a knife channel. "Knife royalty" is the term I believe was used. How ridiculous. That's irrelevant to me, rather like your inability to find your own post count.

is puzzling. All I was doing was showing cheer for his volunteering of his knife to you, that way you can do another video (a review of a knife your subs won't even be able to obtain, so that's useful LOL) and get more revenue from those clicks. It's nice that he's helping you in this way. I wonder if he'll get a kickback, though I'd expect at least a mention for being so generous! With respect, isn't it you who has the YouTube channel?
With hindsight, it probably didn't play out too well
Present.
I'm afraid I have no idea who you are. I address people based on their posts on BF. I don't know if many other posters would know who you are either
And he's 'Fine' if he gets a knife, and 'Fine' if he doesn't
When you responded I felt obligated to offer my retort...I have no issue with you or any of the others, I merely pointed out the FACT that the Knife in question is stamped "BLADE FORUMS" NOT "PORCH MEMBERS ONLY" there in lies the rub. Knife makers forum has a couple of KITH (Knife in the Hat) where makers build a knife to be given away in a blind drawing to another maker participating in the KITH....Some Good, Some Need more Practice. I'm not saying I'm entitled to anything I have just as much chance of getting or not getting based on those decisions made by the members running the show. I will however point out that in Charlie's original post he did NOT Emphasize Porch Participation Mandatory...it was date of enrollment, 25 posts (didn't say in the porch only to qualify), and not posts in the exchange....I read the RULES a couple of times and in fact I posted the Rules when another person wanted to know what the rules were....But Alas that thread is now gone, so your honor my defense and prime witness no longer exist. I will leave you with this: You and your Frat Brothers can sit and laugh at the rest of us In Your Porch Members Only Thread showing off your catch...Keep your Joints OiledYou're right, I rarely post anywhere else but here, and if any other sub-forums decide to get a knife together, I won't be elbowing my way in, and getting snotty with people there, because I don't fulfill their chosen criteria.

It's just about numbers, there's no need to take it personally, you don't post in this sub-forum (or only extremely rarely it seems), which is why you have no entitlement to have one of our annual knives. Check the exchange, I'm sure there'll be the odd one going there at a reasonable price in due course.
I don't look down at you at all, I'm sure you could contribute a lot here, but until you do, I don't think you, or anyone else who doesn't participate here, is entitled to jump in line ahead of those who contribute to this sub-forum regularly. Most years, in the past, there have been Traditional Forum Knives going spare, and you could have come over here at any time to take part in the process, as you can in anticipation of next year's knife, if there is one.
The only reason that there's a shortage this year is because of a sudden outbreak of grabbiness from people who don't usually post here, or in many cases, anywhere else on BF, so it's those folks you should have an issue with, not me or the other regular posters here.
There are guys who've posted here for years, who might not get a knife this year. They might be entitled to feel aggrieved, but I don't think you are. Now surely, if there is one sub-forum that could make a great knife, it's the Knife Makers Forum, so why don't you propose it over there, and you can decide on the pattern, and deal with all the hard work and headaches, and I promise not to turn up there, with a sense of entitlement demanding one. Furthermore, you could start sharing some of your knowledge and experience over here on The Porch, where I'm sure you'd be made very welcome

For the last time, at the time you first responded to me, you didn't meet either qualification, so I don't understand your inability to grasp this.
