REQUEST FOR PERMISION TO SPEAK FREELY

As a fairly regular poster here, I must say I'm in agreement with Darren.

Personally, I don't find the new charges unfair, and I think that Pocketgpsworld has every right to censor somebody advertising a competeing product. It is akin to a Mercedez dealer driving one of his cars to the BMW showroom, parking it inside and telling the customers to look at his car instead. So far, they have been fair about it and left the posts.

I wish you success with your database, but I won't be using it myself.

I'm sorry but you clearly have no idea what you are talking about and are making claims about the level of support we have that are grossly innacurate.

Usage of our database and the quantity and quality of reports has increased significantly in recent months, our announcement regarding the charge has not affected the number of reports, if anything we get more reports now.

The truth is that the vast majority are with us, it is a very very small percentage that do not wish to pay and that is of course their choice. I am completely confident that we will still be here in the months and years to come as will our database. Reports of its demise are very very premature.

Whilst I applaud free speech there is a limit when individuals are hell bent on deriding us or attempting to use this site as a soapbox on which to advertise their own efforts. As I have said, you have contributed nothing yet seem to think we owe you somehow? We don't.

Put your money where your mouth is Darren. Create a forum poll. As for your level of support, we only have your word for that. The proof will be in the quality of the database a few months from now.

A forum poll would reveal the truth. But you wouldn't dare do that would you darren.

A forum poll would only be partaken by the the vocal minority. It would not reflect the silent majority. A fact you seem to have difficulty appreciating. If you wish to grandstand from now on, do it on your own forum.

Come to think of it. If you did create a poll who would beleive the results were genuine anyway. THE DATBASE WILL REMAIN FREE was that not your famous saying. You conned everyone into creating the database and thats that. Its black and white. Who would trust you now. WHO

Ah yes, of course, damned if we do and damned if we don't. Perhaps you ought to spend more time doing rather than complaining.

So far all I see is a collection of lengthy missives promising lots yet I see no website and no likleyhood of a database in the near future.

Now I'm very busy, please feel free to go away.

What it is not is a forum for you to recruit customers to yours. I think your posts indicate whose stance is juvenile here.

davejh,

I'm sure you will soon find out how much time, effort and dedication it takes to produce a 100% perfect speed camera database, which, from your numerous posts, seems to be your aim.

If this is the case and you are so confident that you have a large loyal fanbase behind you, why are you wasting your time stirring things up in this forum?

As nej says, you must surely understand if the Admin Team object to you advertising your 'rival' product on their website - would you be willing for us to come and post on your website/forum about our database? The only difference here is that we are all far too busy to waste our time on such petty stirring, which I'm sure you will soon find out for yourself if your database takes off in the way that you anticipate.

I don't want to reignite this thread as I think everything has already been said on the matter, but I just wanted to point out the illogical side to your posting here - if your product already has "the VERY MANY" members of PGPSW, then what are you complaining about? Rolling Eyes

If I were you, I'd get busy working on your database - it sounds to me like you will have hundreds of ex-PGPSW members eagerly waiting for your finished product! Not Worthy

Regards,

Bo Peep.

I think you are a little mis guide with your rant.

Lets face the facts here. This is a forum, right? A forum is a place to put forward your own ideas and express ones opinion, right? I have an idea that I wanted to share with other interested members of this forum. To share my idea i have to talk about it, right? The fact that my idea clashes with pocketgpsworld.com's commercial aspirations should not come into it. AGAIN I reiterate “this is a forum” Unless pocketgpsworld.com regard this forum as a sales channel. It which case I would gladly refrain from any further comment.
