Yes come on here with the intention of lining your own pockets, and when it doesn't work out throw a hissy fit.
Plenty of good honest information on here by guys who just want to help for the sake of helping, as long as we keep
this then this forum has nothing to worry about.
To be honest I think it's negativity like this that is dragging this forum down at the minute. There's no doubt that this place is massively quieter than a year or two ago.
I'm first and foremost a window cleaner, and have been on here for a few years. I've always posted and tried to help where I can, stating my experience. even if some one does something a different way to me, I look to try and learn from what they are doing rather than shoot them down in a " my way or the highway" attitude.
Just recently there was a thread about franchising and vin ( who has many franchisees and doing very well for himself ) was being shot down by guys who are sole traders, and just ticking over, and yet they were arguing and insisting that vin was wrong and they were right.
To many outsiders it's laughable, but it's things like this that are driving people away from this forum.
Me personally I have thick skin, and I've learned to let negativity bounce off me, so I will always be a member on here and check in to see what's happening, as I do with half a dozen forums. Unfortunately though I know of many who have finished with there Ciu login details for good, never to return.
Banter is good, but constant negativity drives people away, and this us what we are seeing too much of IMHO.
Just my thoughts.
