[Ayrtek Cricket]

Indeed can state and agree the same thing...kinda proud that something I invented and produced is on the worlds number one batsman...bring a tear to ones eye for all those late nights working.....well ok drinking!

[jandgcricket]

Even so, I think anyone else would get pulled up for going off topic but oh no its "Tom" ...  Don't get me wrong, Ayrtek has paid to advertise, Tom at Mongoose hasn't?

[Tom]

I set up this forum and it wouldn't be here without me. Worth considering perhaps and maybe a bit of leeway should be allowed? If not delete it and I'll get over it, 500 max see this forum so it's not a huge loss if I don't post on here anymore.

[jandgcricket]

I just think its unfair on the paying advertisers...And going off topic.

[Tom]

Not really your business but if it causes a huge issue then Leo/other mods can PM me and let me know.

Know most of the paying advertisers and they also have my details if there's an issue. But you seem intent on making a mountain out of a molehill

[jandgcricket]

I think its everyones business?  All posts on the forum are everyones business, without posts there wouldn't be a forum.  Nevermind, I don't think your ever lose an argument, so i'll sit back and watch the snow out my window.   

[Tom]

You don't know the dealings what goes on between CB, Leo, myself and any other paying advertiser. So no it's not really your business.

Off-topic perhaps is and I accept it was a little, but you're not exactly doing your best to get it back on topic.

[jandgcricket]

Well if I/admins/anyone didn't police anyone going of topic, then people would do it all the time?  Just think you should be setting an example...Of all people.

[Tom]

You do a hell of a lot of "just thinking"

If you're pulling me up for posting off topic fair enough, but there seems to be something more in your argument. I quote "I just think its unfair on the paying advertisers...And going off topic." From that it seems like your main issue was the advertising side, which as I have said earlier has very little to do with you.

So question, are you peed off I posted something off topic? Or is there a further ulterior motive?

[jandgcricket]

As I said, I think you should be setting an example.  Its late, it took me a while to come up with that bit but basically yeah just believe you should set a good example, you know all the rules.  As you said you did say you set up the forum...

[Tom]

And I haven't set an example for the last 1600 odd posts I've posted on here? I haven't set an example and assisted people when they've needed it?

Christ mate it's one post. I look forward to you nitpicking all my future posts, making sure I stay 100% on topic and don't mention the word Mongoose in fear of offending anyone. Perhaps you could spend more time admining CSF in a similar manner, that could do with it more than here and you as an admin seem to be a bit slack on there.

[jandgcricket]

Considering you said we should give you some slack for going a tad off topic (Because you set up the forum) and now then saying you basically haven't gone by the rules for the past 1600 odd posts is a bit contradictory.

Nevermind, we are achieving absolutely nothing here at this ridiculous hour.  So if you want to carry on, I'll happily clog up the topic if its okay by the "owner".

[Tom]

I was referring to the advertising issue earlier when the reference was made to the creation of the forum.

And for the past 1600 posts I would say I have gone by the rules, unless of course you wish to check through my previous posts and say otherwise. You seem desperate to find fault with me.

[jandgcricket]

Hang on, you've just said:

"And I haven't set an example for the last 1600 odd posts I've posted on here?"

And then a post later:

"And for the past 1600 posts I would say I have gone by the rules,"

I'd say going by the rules and setting an example is pretty much the same in my dodgy eyes.

[Tom]

The first is a rhetorical question, questioning the fact that you believe I am not setting an example whereas I believe I have done.

Perhaps it wasn't the best use of the English language to get the point across, so at least now you can say you've found one fault with me.
