What's going on at ocuk?

[pinchez]

I'm a member or at least i was at the OcUK forums. I just posted in the Gaming section under "Competitors, clarification" Just asking "why they have the forums if they make no contribution to OcUK" as they have stated they make nothing from the forums.

And now my 1500 post account with access to members market with healthy feedback as been deleted without explanation.

Don't get me wrong i wanted to start using this forum more because of the draconian attitude they have at OcUK but i didn't want to lose my account

Anyone else from OcUK in here?

[Stoo]

There's loads, now you know why

btw, can we avoid any ocuk bashing, as it keeps the place cleaner

Its because they have started selling console equipment at over inflated prices. Xbox 360 packs for £311.

Not a member at OcUK, but have used them as a retailer.

The Forums are an extension of the business, rather than run for the debate/discussion it would generate, and are therefore fairly harshly moderated. It seems another way to promote the Business, without any possible bad publicity.

Jus' my view anyhow...

i think dave has hit the nail on the head really cheap advertising space and they probadly dont want ppl putting out bad messages to potential customers

[pinchez]

Ok looks like i'm just suspended, But still i only asked a question and never mentioned a competitor. It always puzzles me why OcUK have so many great members when they treat them so badly.

Id say thats backfired on a lot of people though

[Koolpc]

They have always been the same at Overclockers. You dare not mention any other retailer or say things they don't want you to speak about. Lots of restrictions on thier forums. They are run by Big headed people who are power crazy. Hexus is by far the best forum on the net.

David given you your fiver yet?

I do agree with that though, with one exception, which David knows about. I must admit I wouldn't be on my way to 3k posts if it wasn't a nice friendly forum

Great thing is about hexus you say something against hexus, you get a rebuttle, rather than a ban.

Or sudenly banned for something else totally irrelivent!

I'm a member of ocuk, with about 30 posts in the last 2 years! This is one of a few forums i visit, also visit whatmobile, fiatforum and talkaudio

[pinchez]

I've just checked out OcUK's new XBOX 360 Range LMAO!!!

This must surely be the most expensive place to buy 360 gear from, what are they thinking of!

I heard that they were alledgedly in financial hardship and and on the verge of liquidation and thats why they are penny pinching. I cant say that i will miss them when they are gone.

I can, sometimes dodgy service, but they offered some good components for good prices - and less competition is always bad for the consumer.

[Clunk]

But they arent competition to any of the suppliers I use
