Oldham the Conman

Dunk claims he’s not bothered with this blog or the “haterz” as he calls us. Despite this, every other video on his moanvideo site, and most of his tweets are about us. In fact he talking, tweeting and thinking about us all the time. I can understand why though, as we’ve managed to reduce the number of people he is ripping off by several thousands in the three and a half years the blog has been running. Today he made a tweet with links to three different websites where he’s addressing us. On one of them there is a long speech where he tries to defend himself from some of the issues we’ve brought up on this blog. How does he even know what we say when he claims that de doesn’t read this blog? The truth is, he’s one of our most avid readers. Here’s what he says:

Don’t say goodbye – we don’t like that

Another well known and respected poster left koptalk today. But he wasn’t allowed to say goodbye to those he had shared ups and downs with over the past few years. The post where he said goodbye was deleted and then it returned but was closed, and then it was deleted again. The last time I saw it it had 39 views. So why wasn’t Legin1973 allowed to say goodbye to the few remaining koptalkers? I mean, there wasn’t much controversy in his post. Read for yourself:

A message from Terry

Another well respected member of koptalk left the site today. Actually he left a while back, but he wanted to say goodbye to his friends there, and explain to them why he was leaving. His post lasted only a few minutes, as you would expect, as there is still no room for criticism on koptalk. You are not allowed to state your opinion unless it’s approved by Dunk. Terry was also banned, not that I think he’s sorry for that.

Welcome to the muppet show

You may have seen my comment yesterday about a thread Dunk made, where he attacked a koptalk member, calling him a muppet and gloating about what he (Dunk) thought was a piece of inside information broken on koptalk. Needless to say it’s not, but that’s another story. The thread developed into a discussion about who had left koptalk or not, and Dunk had to close it as he doesn’t like people talking about others leaving. But it was going to come back and haunt him later.

Stupid censorship on koptalk reaches new heights

I stumbled upon a thread last night, and thankfully I saw it before it was pulled by Dunk or his mods. More important though was that maybe as many as 50-100 koptalk members saw it before it was pulled. They must be wondering why it was pulled. There were a few names mentioned, and a link to the site where these “former” members apparently have moved to. That was all. There’s nothing special about that, appart from the fact that Dunk can’t handle members leaving. It doesn’t look good when some of the best posters suddenly decides to leave the site without notice.

Another one bites the dust

 

UPDATED 23.05.09

Koptalk is still losing members. As I’ve said before, last year saw 875 members leave the site. So much for the 99% renewal rate Dunk is bragging about. Most of those who are leaving are lurkers or members who contribute very little. However, a couple of days ago one of the most active members on koptalk left for good. With 34000 posts he was way above richt71 in second place. So who left?

Dunk’s “inside” source revealed

One of the things Dunk does to make it look like he has inside information, is taking news from other websites, add his own spin, and post it as “Koptalk News”.

Today he came up with this:
