I noticed over the last couple of weeks this board has gone very quiet is there any particular reasons why this is??
No pms maybe ???
-
Personally very busy (cleaning!) Very little time to dabble on computer.
-
Too busy chatting elsewhere without inane comments from Solutions Snipers ::)
-
Keep posting Steve any excuse, just look at your young lady. ;)
Dave.

I wish she was my young lady I would be spending a lot less time on here if she was ;D
-
That is actually Steve, before the surgery :o

Chris
I have to ask....
You have made several comments recently about perceived 'Solutions snipers' etc.
Surely everyone has a right to an opinion whether it be this particular supplier or any other....?
My own view is that I select whichever chemicals I am comfortable with ...I do NOT knock other chemicals that I don't use as it maybe just me not being able to get the result from them I desire...I stress...it maybe me not the chemical.

Steve, everyones been busy engraving their wands and hand tools with their names for security reasons!

Hi Guys,

Cheers,
Doug

Steve, if thats your wife in the pic, i hope you wont be breaking her nose for free, and the question, is why this board is quite ; 8) some of the contributors of old on here have a different place to lurk ;) ;) and we dont get swiped at in our new place :) ;D
Dave

so where are you all lurking
-
Hi ,
As I understand it there is a Allergstop/Solutions network board.
Cheers,
Doug

Derek...............Yes and i will stand by my statement due to the fact that some persons (unnamed) only come into the threads mentioned with V NEGATIVE comments. Some only make the odd sniping comment but most are blatant shooting down. Yes every one is entitled to an opinion and that is why i try to handle it with some degree of patience. I have had communications with people running forums, on this matter, and we seem to have the same opinion of these posters but as you say this is a public forum and differing views is the aim of the game. Hence my own personal view of these
pra people is MY honest opinion and my view of the way they attack ANY thread on my preffered products, is openly known and generally widely agreed upon. Derek, you may not knock chemicals you prefer not to use but that is because you are a gentleman with manners and respect for other users ;)
Doug...........Yes, hence the sedate and interesting conversation without childish disturbances. Bit like being on holiday and sending ankle biters to the Kids Club ;D
ps. Only place they would give me the gig as moderator ( still they have muzzle at the ready as per new tag :o )
-
Hey steve, I´m replying, and i´m in Alcudia, majorca...in the internat cafe...how sad is that....sadly, no carpets to clean over here though.
-
My view is that the a/s guys were hyped up at the start, as most people would be when investing in a new area and the intial threads got out of hand when normal questions were asked ,positive and negative.Once the ball got rolling it snowballed into a them and us situation,i don't remember many negative comments aimed at solutions in particular, no more than other companies recieve anyway,it was the big a/s debate that caused the controversy...oh and ron and don for a while !
You are right chris ,it was all playground type stuff,but it came from both sides .
-
Matt.
We agree on some parts but not all............. not just A/S critique but generally Solutions based...............success breeds jealousy and contempt.
Response to a childish/immature question must be made at the same level to avoid confusion or non understanding.
My responses to mature and genuine questions or remarks are made in a meticulous and well written way.
I apologise if my manner was childish but as i stated, i talk back the way i am spoken to ::)
NO ONE IN THIS WORLD DESERVES AUTOMATIC RESPECT......IT HAS TO BE EARNED.
-
It wasn't aimed at you in particular chris,but i was online a lot at the time it was all going on and a few a/s guys were making threats on the board which were removed quite quickly by the moderators ..i just wanted to balance it up a bit.
I'm up for defending myself if i feel the need and it is quite easy to be dragged into things as you say....in one way i'm glad its not mentioned anymore...in another i'd like to keep up to speed on it as i have had one or two custy's query allergy treatments lately,what with the hay fever season at the mo.
-
Matt,
Any queries then feel free to call me or Nick at HQ ;)
All talk goes on at our AllergSTOP forum so boards elsewhere may experience a bit of a break ::)...............its okay, we only ever say nice things about you :P
-
Chris,
It has indeed been more sedate and certainly a lot less childish on here recently.
Cheers,
Doug

it may be just a coincidence but hasn't there also been a significant reduction in posts by Sherlock
Goron

I believe he went on holiday.
-
When I wish to know about Solutions I will contact Solutions Uk.
Ian what sort of a response is that?
None of the solutions stuff is advertising from the company, it is genuine oppinions from carpet cleaners that are or are not very happy with the products and or the service. Isn't that what these boards are for, to pass on knowledge to fellow cleaners?
For a board MODERATOR that is not a very good stance to take.

Chris
Thank you for your curteous reply to my question...I must have missed some of the offending comments or simply ignored them.
There is one particular chemical that most cleaning technicians have been using for many, many years and continually rave about...it is probably one of the top 'must have' spotters of all time (This in the days before Micro-splitters)
Personally, this particular chemical spotter has NEVER worked for me .. I put it down to me.. NOT the spotter.
Still don''t use it to this day :o
Then again I still use some of the old tried and trusted methods, many of the 'pure' chemicals I use to this day are on the banned list (ssshhh :-X)... still damn good for stain removal though IF USED WITH CARE.
Derek

Ian,
As Matt pointed out, there is a difference between 'solutions guys' and AllergSTOP forum....................different products and results, from the same source. ;D
-
Hi ,
As I understand it there is a Allergstop/Solutions network board.
Cheers,
Doug
Join the network and we'll let you in ;)
-
Steve,
Thanks for the offer but I'm not really a network type.
Cheers,
Doug
-
Chris,
let it go mate, let it go. On the scale of things, it just doesn't matter does it. Get over it and move on.
No one cares anymore, its just soooo last week :-*
Love Gary

all board to death with allergy this allergy that. nick this nick that.you must some of you be so bored with life all you can do is keep giving each other an ego boost. but thankfully this forum seems to have slowed the worshipping of false gods to a trickle. or maybe the products that keep getting mentioned are well you know. . we need new ideas . not this same old splodge. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. :o :o
-
To me it just seems that the sole perpose of some peoples membership to this board is to provoke people into an arguement and that includes moderators/admin. I feel that is the reason for the boards slow down in pace, it is that what people are bored with. A true professional will always be happy to hear of new products.
Cheers Goron

YAAAWWWWN, Goron, don't you get it,
we all had an interest in the beginning, I even spoke to your leader about coming to one of the initiation days. But it just got too much, it seemed every thread was brought around to the same product. Some of your devotees have been very intimidating and threatening, to the point some people have stopped posting, this post has gone downhill, and again the same person is responsible.
Why is it that you lot all seem to think threatening talk and abuse is OK when you are giving it out, but not when someone dares say something even slightly against your precious product you all start crying like a bunch of babies.
If its that great keep it to yourself and rake in all the work. Spend more time ( or even SOME time) getting it out into the public domain. And by that I don't mean a little piece in your local rag. Get together put some serious money behind it and get it known ( although someone else should be responsible for that, surely!). There was a full page spread on allergy products 2 weeks ago in the Daily Mail, and guess what, yours didn't get a mention. If I was part of this set up I would have wanted to know why!! I have suffered from allergies since I was about 6, and have had every treatment going, but still have only heard of Allerg-Stop on here.........WHY??
And, on a personal note, and it probably is me ::) I hate the way you put the 'R' thing after it all the time, its just so pretentious. Why do you have to advertise on here that you use it, like you're so special, it ain't going to bring you any more work is it.
Oh, well, should get a few of you going, but who cares. I love the ones that start " I really can't be bothered to respond to this"..... and then write the longest piece they've ever written.
-
Gary..........what a well written, spelt and punctuated post ::) must have taken ages.
-
How pretentious is THAT ::) ::)
-
GARY J. WELL DONE POLITE QUALITY ANSWER TO SUCH AN OLD SUBJECT. YOU ARE ALWAYS ON THE WAVE LENGTH OF MOST CONSERVATIVE PEOPLR HERE LIKE MYSELF. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EXPRESS GOOD COMENTS WHICH ARE HELPFULL YTO THE MAJORITY. I FOR ONE SUPPORT YOUR IDEOLOGY. hurrah .
-
Sherlock,
Not sure what your on but if you read garys' post he talks about threatening, abusive, insulting behaviour. Now go back through the whole thread. Have you noticed that the only person who has shown any of the above trates is you!
Goron
-
i would draw your attention to some of your previous comment on various issue were you have those exact traits, perhaps you forgot. i am a moderate and do not use malice or threatining insults , i see nothing in gary j comment . that in my eyes are any of the above.
-
Pretentious in two posts....................not many people could manage that :)
-
I only mentioned the board was quiet ::)
-
Chris and Goron
Dont even waste your time on these guy's ( ron kink & gary j) they dont even give real names and are just windup merchants and not very good carpet cleaners at that.
Continue the time on the Allergstop forum as the momentum is growing.
And guy,s the reason why it is quiet on here is that because of Allergstop we actually are very busy.
Personally my business has doubled to trebled because of it.
Paul
-
thankyou paul. i do give my name ron a king. not KINK or is that something you are not telling us
-
I believe he went on holiday.
THAT IS CORRECT I WENT ON A LONG HOLIDAY. BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY CLEANING EXESSIVE AMOUNT OF 3 PIECE SUITES. NEXT HOLIDAY WILL BE SOON AS IM CLEANING LOADS MORE AT THE MOMENT. :P
-
Ron comment as expected from you.
The thing is I actually know who you are and thats why I made the above comments.
One day you will be brave enough
Paul
-
paul as you are from wales. is that thing on your head in the picture some form of animal. possibly a sheep. and if yes weres the other half of it ???
-
I think its the ringtone frog.
-
Just an observation, but in my opinion the board has been very busy recently.
-
god it was so peacefull while that pratt was on holiday ::)
Now he,s back and look what happens,and he has even got morons marching around after him.
-
I haven't laughed so much for ages thanks all.
The part of the ringtone frog they airbrushed out so not to cause offence turns out to be Paul Moss's face.
and he has even got morons marching around after him.
says bloke with big Allerg-Stop sign next to his name. The irony nearly has me in tears of laughter.
-
dave why is it you must be vulgar at all times. i do hope your customers arent treated to the same rude comments as i seem to be. if so perhaps you should spray some of that allergy stuff and see if it makes you a nice guy who can string asentance without being profane.
-
well they seem to know who they are! the ones doing the marching ;D ;D ;D
Sits back in amazement
Dave
