1st amendmant does not apply on the GB, apparently.

Steve referenced an adjustable gripper and when pressed said he'd been told not to mention the name of it. So I made a post saying that no one had told me not to mention it, thereby impinging my Human, and, 1st amendment rights and metioned the Vulcan. Now I've been suspended, no one has said how long for, who did it, or why, but I suspect zcor, in the study, with the lead pipe, for mentioning the Vulcan.

I slept a lot better last night knowing subversives like you were being silenced on my behalf. Wink

Thats incredible Twig, very petty of them to do this.I dont get this unwritten law on the GB where you cant make reference to or mention any of Davids products or site, especially when other companies are mentioned who are not sponsors.
David Horne has and still does alot for grip, not to mention the influence he has had on the sport, to be treat this way by someone who has to my knowledge done nothing of note is shameful.
Spend your time here Twig its a better forum anyway in my opinion
Can you tell this type of stuff annoys me Very Happy

There is a back story to it but you'll not get it from them.

Neil,
Sorry to hear you are banned, as you do a lot for the grip scene.

There has been a thread on this before, and here was my response below quoted. After all it's their party and they can do what they like. 1st ammendmant - pah, not in GB land!

Good question, best ask Bill and his moderator!

Without boring everyone I contributed a lot to the GB, and this even included some cash - what an idiot I must have been! Anyway this censorship was happening, and although it annoyed me I just got on with things. But then even peoples postings of me armwrestling were taken off...so be it.
Ironic thing is Bill asked if I wanted to sponsor the board, and my answer was:

There is no way that I would sponsor a forum that doesn’t allow people to talk about various products without their posts being deleted. But what amuses me even more is that posts about other non sponsors such as IronMind and Robert Baraban are never deleted to the extent as ones on my products.

Things didn't get better after this

Anyway the reason I started this forum was so people can chat about my products (it's useful for business to hear peoples thoughts), and also you can chat about any others you fancy. No deleting here, well unless it's a stupid dickish post.

I'll direct you (below) to the welcome I give all. I'd rather close this forum down than let it fall into a state that the GB has. So let's get on having fun, training hard, and I'll leave them to do what they want over there. After all it's their house.

Anyway, in their defence... You agree to their rules when you sign up. But that said it is annoying regarding the unwritten stuff. At least tell you what is the issue. Then if you kick off and get banned you'll know why.

PS: being banned aint shit. I've been banned on a few sites now. Embarassed

I wonder if this post will still be there when the UK wakes up? It is a post titled 'vulcan = awesome' by Mighty Joe.

The text is...

Here's a pic of my Vulcan from David Horne and a DB handle
made out of CRS that me and my son Cody made today.

http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?autocom...si&img=8735

The Vulcan is now my favorite grip tool. This thing is awesome!!!

The DB handle is 2" diameter, 23" long and the width of the hanlde
is 4". Weighs 22 lbs. empty. Absolute Monster!

Enjoy!

I thought the same. It's still there now but will be gone soon. As will be the photo in the gallery.

Steve Gardener · Steve Gardener on Fri Apr 17, 2009 9:40 am
