Pickles is the latest one to throw all the toys out

Oh dear, not this shit again...

GROW UP FFS! What is it with you guys, acting like babies?? Okay, galinya went a bit OTT with his tongue in cheek posts and one post would've easily sufficed but there really was no need to throw all the toys out over it and end with the most immature comment ever: "this is my last post ever on these forums". I thought that only 2 year olds did that?

First it was dagsyk who did this, then it was er, dagsyk again, then it was umm, oh dagsyk again, then someone said something blackhawk didn't like and he said he was never gonna post again and now Pickles.

I like Pickles because of his very inventive ways of doing things which are always "outside of the box". I also like blackhawk's posts because they're always 18 pages long and make for excellent bedtime reading, so come on guys, get a grip and keep us entertained with your posts and stop being so sensitive!

Blkstk seems to have a short memory

Probably the most annoying person on the whole of the forums is a member called blkstk - someone who I have commented on before because of his sharp-tongued ways of scoffing at newbies when he himself has only been there 9 months.

He seems to have a short memory though and made a major goof a few days ago that no-one seems to have picked up upon (and I doubt don't even care) but the guy is an arrogant wanker and I love to take people like him apart at any possible opportunity.

So he joined CA on 22 Nov 2007 and pretty much didn't post anything til 22 Feb 2008 when he made the following introductory post, and I quote :

"Hi am newish here, and am wanting to experience CA to the full. I am excitied to get started and hopefully become a useful member of the community.

I have lots of overseas Paypal & eBay experience and know lots of ways in & around alot of their pitfalls

I want to learn how to take my Paypal experience and marry it with UK banking for a more profitable future."

Clearly from what he's said the guy is a newbie and doesn't have a clue about anything other than some knowledge on Paypal and Ebay.

A few months later he suddenly shows up with Mod status and generally starts throwing his weight about and then on 3 Sep 2008 he writes this :

"When I was a member in 2004 and 2005 the sort of post feeds I see flashing on the CA homepage at the bottom from the VIP room are the sort of posts that used to be standard in the forums. The posts on the standard forums these days are 99% useless trash(unless you are a newbie). For someone like me who has been around about 4yrs the standard forums are useless and not worth the £10 a month"

Hang on, what's that noise I hear? Oh that'll be the bullshit detector going off...

Ordering from CA - the truth

So you've stumbled across confidentialaccess.com and seen something you like but are wondering if it's just another scam site?

Well, as much as I hate the guys that run it with a passion, I'd be lying if I said that it was a scam site. They are real and do deliver, but there are a few things you should be aware of before sending off your cash...

1. If you want your order like tomorrow, forget it.
2. If you want your order within a months time, forget it.
3. If you want your order within 2 months time, forget it.
4. If you want your order within 3 months time then you need to place it now and cross your fingers.

Yes, I'm afraid it's true. Do not believe for one minute the claims on the homepage that state "next day delivery" because it's complete and utter bullshit.

The earliest I've had an order delivered since ordering has been just under 2 months; the longest being just under 5 months but the site status was on red at that time.

And some more advice, do not dare to question where your order is on the forums because that's like pressing a button for them to throw all their toys out of their pram, plaster your name, address and order details all over the forum and generally bad mouth you beyond belief. Okay that's not happened for a while, but it has happened and on more than one occasion.

And here's some more advice.. do not bother PMing CA Management to ask where your order is because it will be ignored. Do not bother emailing CA Management to ask where order is because that will be ignored too and do not bother contacting "Live Help" to ask where your order is either because they'll just tell you to PM or email CA Management .......

Honestly, it's a fucking joke and it winds me up no end. I've no problem with orders taking months to arrive on my doorstep but is it really too much to ask to be kept abreast of its progress? How difficult is it FFS? I mean, we're not talking about orders of a couple of quid here, the average order is probably several hundred quid and when you're shelling out that kind of cash you want some reassurances.

That said, the document quality is first class and even my keen eyes can't find fault with them. However, it's worth mentioning that their CMail service, anonymous browsing, firewall, anonymous text, anonymous email, telephone proxy and virtual employment services all DO NOT work so do not order them because you'll be throwing your money down the drain.

It's also worth mentioning that the GPS jammer they advertise on the homepage for £299 can be bought directly from China for just over £100 and it's the exact same one. Type in "GPS jammer" into google and the results quickly come up.

READ READ READ !!!

Yawn.....

Without a doubt this has become the biggest downfall of the forums. No, not the newbies, but the long-standing (and not so long-standing) members that continually whinge about it.

If those same members put the same amount of effort into creating a comprehensive list of FAQ links as they do whinging about newbies not reading the old posts then there simply would be no issue. And it's always the same ones moaning too - dagsyk, blkstk, swedrock, kooruno, from_da_streets and it pisses me off reading it more than it does the newbie asking the questions in the first place. I mean how difficult is it to simply ignore the post if you're not going to bother helping the guy/gal?

I think the above offender's forget that they were newbies once and looking back at their first posts I don't see any of their senior members telling them to read read read. In fact, swedrock and blkstk in particular both asked their fair share of "basic" questions that could've been easily answered if they had read the old posts but no-one got shitty with them for asking them so I think it's well out of order that they treat newbies the way they do. Furthermore, swedrock contacted me several times via PM asking for my help and guidance over "basics" for which answers could've been found in the old posts but I never once told him to go away and do some research of his own.

It seems that certain members have developed extremely large chips on their shoulders and go about the forums like they own them, scoffing at anyone that dares to speak if they either a) have less posts than them or b) have been a member for a shorter time than them. It sucks big style and that is the real reason why the forums have gone to shit.

I don't see this ever changing though and as time goes on it'll only get worse to the point where the forum will just be full of bitching and no useful posts.

*SIGH*

CA for sale for a mere $10m !!

Ooh yes please, I'll have 2 please!

Give me a break, are they for real??!! Who the fuck do they think they are?! Just who is going to pay $10,000,000 for a website that knocks out a few photoshopped bank statements? Bwahaha. I really thought this was a joke when I saw it posted on the forums but then CA Management come along and reply "hmmm, let me take a look at that" as if they don't know anything about it! Too funny...

I don't know if anyone looked at the link in any detail but in the blurb it claimed $2,000,000 per month in orders. Right, so that's £1m in real money - what exactly were these orders?? The UK DL (probably their most popular product) is no longer on offer so that means that the orders are pretty much made up of bank statements and util bills and advanced profiles. Let's make some rounded figures - bank states and utils at £50 a piece and profiles are £2k, now you do the math and tell me how many of those they'd have to sell to make £1m in orders per month? It's complete and utter bullshit.

Anyway, all that has changed now as CA Management have woken up to reality that they haven't got a hope in hell of getting anything like that so now it's for sale to the member's for a mere quarter of a million quid now. Of course, all the forum brown noser's have crawled out of the woodwork and all want a piece of the cake thinking that they're buying into some kind of gold mine. Bwahaha. Naive is an understatement...
