KopTalk members’ feeback

Duncan Oldham has always been fond of plastering “positive member feedback” all over KopTalk and his many blogs. You can’t really blame him – after all, he does write it himself. But the comments left by former and present KopTalk members on this blog paint a very different picture – one of disgust, anger, disappointment and derision:

Warren
Most members quickly discover that Koptalk is a site about the owner and his family, his prejudices and his money-making projects – oh and the small facts that the owner isn’t and never has been a LFC fan and has no contacts within the club or even remotely connected to the club, who uses pictures from an agency and claims to have had a photographer of his own at training sessions, who claims to have the ear of the new owners yet when he posted a video it was quite clear Hicks had no idea who you were. I could go on and on but I am growing rapidly bored.
Koptalk survives only because of your cult-like control and censorship over your few remaining members. Your wild claims of hundreds of new members joining every week are obviously not true.
When questions are asked and points made that would be considered normal on every other site, you cancel memberships on a whim.

Todda
Im stil yet to see something i couldnt find out somewhere else for free!!

Gaz
Ive always felt that site was weird – this fella is just a fraud and the sooner the site gets wrapped up the better. I read between the lines of what you say,’Dunk’, and as far as Im concerned you come across as a scouse-hater and a cnut of a man.
Youre interested in ripping people off for subscriptions to a site that provides spurious rumour for the naive. I hope you go and crawl back under the stone from whence you came before you got on the bandwaggon, snake.

Simon
This is a joke, KopTalk knew nothing about Fowler rejoining, the “reliable” posters were saying there was no chance of it happening.
There hasn’t been a scoop in the 3 years I’ve been a member, just lots of guesses.

Chrispy
Any tool staying on that site other than to take the piss is a muppet of the highest calibre. All I can say is – thanks Insider for opening my eyes before I paid that thieving conning prick DunCON any more money.

ex-KTer
Can’t believe I used to pay money to that site and read all that bollocks as if it was true!
What a mug I was, but at least I’ve seen the light.

Johnny (Norn Iron)
Its good to see someone taking a stance against conmen like these two. I was looking around for a site and noticed koptalk but my god!! what a pair or sheisters!!!
I feel sorry for the poor B@$t4rd$ that payed £30 of their hard earned cash for his Bull$hit site.
He causes embarressment for every true Kopite, and the sooner he fades away the better.
Keep up the good work!

Elisha
Dunk’s relationship with The Sun newspaper should come as no big shock. He seems to read their two-bit transfers rumours and then copy them to his own site where he can make a handsome living from his working class, fellow supporters.
You’ll Never Walk Alone? Don’t make me laugh, he’s in this for himself and noboy else.

Macca2
I have to admit that I would have subscribed to the Insider/Gold Club if not for your blog. I’ve kept a close eye and looks like you definately have a point. I think that if you could market this blog a little better (especially to KT’s legion of vulnerable overseas readers who don’t have a clue) , you’ll find a lot more people like me ‘converting’ . Keep up the good work!

I see fatty is up to his old tricks today ripping off other peoples work. shanklygates had an story “exclusive” story up that claims did hamann is on his way to bolton up that registered at newsnow at 02:56 this morning. at 09:34 on newsnow fatty has published the same story with no credit to the source and claims it comes from an anfield insider!

jj_dominic
after reading this blog i have decided as well not to register for the koptalk insider site. i am so glad that i found this blog. what you need is to get TLW, YNWA.tv and other prominent LFC websites to link to this blog to spread the word.

kopwank
Koptalk is a blatant commercial venture, they constantly go on about how skint they are and cover the site in adverts, yet they apparently have 5000+ members paying £20 per year to read their BS ‘insider’ articles.
I make that over £100k per year plus that earned by banners – even when you take off their costs that leaves a hefty profit for someone who ‘isn’t in it for the money’

Toby
I think we’d all be surprised if we ever found out exactly how many of those ‘regular posters’ were aliases.

macca2
man, that is so typical of dunk.
stir things up and then denies (if it goes horribly wrong).
stir things up and then boasts (if his made-up b*llshit come true).
a fraud of enron proportions i say.

BigRich
I’m another of the lifetime membership brigade that’s been locked out of the Insider as I can’t find an email from over 3 years ago!!!
I’ve joined YNWA instead, far, far better

scully
I visited Koptalk Insider for the last time recently as I could no longer stand helping to provide hits for the piece of shit who runs the s(h)ite. I always felt sorry for Insider newbies whose first post would be a variant of “Hi, I’m new here – I joined to find out what the link on the free site was about regarding such and such, but I can’t find anything about it”. What would then happen would be either (a) various oddly happy-with-the-bull old-timers would tell them that the information was embedded within the LFC discussion forum, (b) some other oddly happy and definitely pilled-up old timer would tell that all such ‘info’ should be taken with a pinch of salt and the main purpose of the Insider was all the jolly banter among its members, relax man, chill out, the drugs should kick in soon, or (c) some drugs-don’t-work-anymore old-timer would tell him it’s bollocks, everything here is bollocks, and then this old timer would mysteriously be seen no more.
But THIS episode, a link that just quotes from some bull in the free site, is absolutely unbelievable. Surely the Advertising Standards Authority or some other watchdog should be informed about this? It would be good to also spread the word round other LFC sites so this so-called Red (who also happens to run Newcastle United and Spurs sites, presumably gushing about his lifelong love of those teams too) can stop ripping off genuine Reds.
Disgusting beyond belief.

Alan
the prick has just copied and pasted one of my articles, and got onto the front of newsnow main stories for doing it, taking all the credit for it, the fat fucking cock

Anon
hello, i am sad to say that i was recently a member of kop talk. and i found out that the fat cunt dunk was taking money from my paypal account every year without my permission, i cancelled my membership and got locked out of the fat robbing cunts site and ive left 5 messages for the fat cunt even giving him both my numbers, but i havent heard from him and its almost been a week.any ideas how i can get in contact with the fat piece of shite ? you can post this on your site if you wish,also what other liverpool websites would you reccomend?

YNWA
Truth is stranger than fiction!
This conman is a joke!

Rob
I’m a victim of this Lifetime Membership scam. I’d encourage anybody else who has been ripped off to contact Paypal and complain about it.
If you look up the History option in Paypal and select “Subscriptions” with a wide date range you should be able to find your payment and the reference number given by Paypal and use this in your correspondence. I’m not sure I want back on Koptalk anyway after the shabby way I’ve been treated but I want to make sure that as a minimum I make sure others including Paypal are aware of what this crook is up to.

JayKay
I would just like to say thank you to all involved with this site. And congratulations!
This and Kraptalk have made me realise the error in my ways. I have a feeling a few people on KopTalk know what goes off, but if we could get this site mentioned it may open a few more eyes.

Honorary Insider
Koptalk used to be a great site. Yes we all knew there was no Insider info, yes we all knew the Informer, Wallet and the Mole (to mention but a few) were all really you Duncan, but we were happy to remain because, if we ignored you, it was a great community.

GR
I joined the Insider 3-4 years ago after paying a one-off lifetime fee (around £10 if I recall correctly). Last week I was locked out. I opened a ticket to get the matter sorted out, and I even had a telephone call with Steve. Unfortunately I remain locked out.
Having discovered this site I don’t think I’ll be returning to Koptalk. I found that the Insider stuff was nothing that couldn’t be picked up elsewhere (for free).
I have since found other sites (Liverpool Way, YNWA) and I am starting to frequent them. It seems to me that Duncan Oldham’s days of fleecing unsuspecting Liverpool fans will come to an end before too long.

An Observer
I like the way the fat twat is happy to let people post stuff from other LFC sites (so long as they don’t mention the site they take it from), but if anyone posts anything from his site he cries like a baby to the site owners demanding it be removed.
Horrible fat cunt, the sooner he gets hit by a bus or something the better.

BigJay
Howdy, hope I’m posting this in the right place…
Just wanted to say that I’m another paid-up “lifetime” member that’s been booted off the K*talk site. I paid for lifetime access via a promotion in 2002, and up until a couple of week’s ago I’d been visiting the site on an almost daily basis. I couldn’t believe it when I found out that my “lifetime” site access had been removed and that I wouldn’t be allowed back unless I could produce a poxy email from 2002.
I’m obviously very pissed-off at what they’ve done to me and others like me, very pissed-off that they “closed” my support ticket without a single response and even more pissed-off at the lack of help when I tried to (politely) plead my case with the lad that supposedly handles the support tickets (Steve is it?).
The whole thing stinks. I don’t know what the ‘real’ reason for this is, but it seems to me that they are trying to squeeze money out of people who’ve probably only paid a few quid for 2, 3 or 4 years of site access – I’m pretty sure that there are plenty of people who have lost their site access but will now start paying full-price so they can get back in… they are mugs if they do.
I don’t know if you can see the “Expired or Missing Info Forum” which now greets those who have been booted off the main ‘Insider’ site, but the latest post (posted yesterday, 20th June) says that “If you can not provide this email you may resubscribe at the reduced rates” – I think that backs up my theory on this being nothing but a disgraceful money making excercise!!!!!
Anyway, I have to say that I didn’t realise that this here site existed, but I’ve spent the last couple of hours reading through everything and it’s eye-opening to say the least! Credit to whoever is behind it.
I know quite a few people who pay for annual K*talk access, i.e. I reccomended the site to a lot of them in the first place (…sorry, we all make mistakes!) but I’ve now told them what’s happened to me and my membership. I’ve also pointed them in the direction of this site and I’m pretty sure that none of them will be renewing their subscriptions.
Anyway, I just wanted to add my support to the site – keep up the good work… whoever you are!
Cheers

KT Veteran
that site is so so boring. The mods are a load of hitlers with no personality and there seems little to talk about on there apart from world cup players they would all love to sign.
aaaaahhhhhhhhh

The fatty is a big conman. I was a regular on the Mighty Reds chatroom, the Liverpool mailing list and i was also one of the firsts to visit cocktalk. I started to hate the cocktalk site during his anti-fowler days, he always have something bad to say about fowler and me and my mates were confident he was on a conspiracy to rid God from Anfield, maybe GH paid him to do it, i do not know. I cant believe the fucking fatty gobshite about how he had never wanted fowler to leave etc etc, fuck off fatso, u always wanted him to leave!
I can remember the first scam the fatty launched to get some easy quick money. It was still early days in cocktalk and his site was running really well with a lot of news and articles ripped from all over the net. Visitors dont mind and actually liked it because it was kinda like a hub of ripped LFC news, all under one roof and all for FREE. When the visitors started to increase and became a little addicted to cocktalk, the fat one launched his first scam, he stopped updating for a 1-2 days and disappeared, then he asked someone to post on behalf of him telling his visitors that his computer had exploded and he had no equipment to update the site anymore…..whoa….he claimed and moaned he was so poor and had no choice but to leave the site to rot. Then someone started off and gave him donation and others followed to sponsor him some money so he could get a PC, my mate also donated 20 fucking pounds. This probably wetted the fatso appetite for quick easy money and from time to time he always pretend to be in hardship, telling cock stories about how miserable and broke he is, how fucking sad down he always is, always threatenng to quit the site, in hope of getting another round of donation. I remember one time he posted about him being broke and 2 weeks later he fucked off for a holiday to Malta………broke my fucking ass.
If u have followed this fatso history long enough, u will realise that he is not trustworthy and thats the reason why he will never get a penny from me. He is just one lazy fucker always wanting to get easy money or getting money the dirty way.

Rashid
The man is a total loon

joshyorkshire
well i joined Dunk’s site in good faith on a 11 quid for life promo…then got booted out. 2 support tickets were ignored. To be honest it’s only since i got booted out that i have doscovered so many sites like this…and do you know what, it makes me sick to think i have missed out for so long. Dunk, you can stick my 11 quid up your cheating, conning, fat ass.

Dickster
I love this website, I too was once a Kraptalk user – but I have seen the light!!
Now, where do I send my Annual £30?!?!

Neil
I’m loving this blog. I moved on from there a good while back when I came to my senses about Fattie and his shite site, populated with thought-police and all sorts of liers, tosspots and general knobheadery.

The Platinum Club
I was banned from Koptalk with no explanation and had to ask the fat man about it myself. He answered my support ticket and then didn’t allow me to fight my corner. That’s just how shit goes down at Koptalk. What Dunk says goes even if it’s wrong or irrational. He doesn’t ever let people argue their case even if he’s very wrong. That’s why so many people can’t stand him. Well, one of the reasons anyway…

bigf00t
The guys a prat…
I love this blog…

Blue Sky
It’s unbelievable how this man uses anything to get sympathy from Craptalkers. He is a disgrace.

Phil T
If LFC is one big family, then he’s the spoilt runt of a child who nobody likes. You could set your calendar by his moans. Get a life. GET A FUCKING JOB!!!

Husk
Thank you for this great blog and great info on the dark worlds of Dunk. I´m from Iceland and as most of Icelander I go regularly to the liverpool.is forum and it is absolutly clear that no one links or talk to the ***talk.com. If anyone does that the moderators swiftly comes forward and have a go at the one making the link, so we are well aware of it here in Iceland.
I personally stopped reading ***talk.com a few years ago (five-ten years maybe), don´t remember why excactly but it had something to do with the copy/paste news that Dunk does and mighty reds rivalry if I remember correctly, maybe it was his popups also or that he is a sick man that made me leave…
But keep up the good work, cheers from Iceland.

Fucking disgusts me the blatant parasitical (I think that word works quite well in that context…) use of ‘fellow’ fans. The constant use of his poor crippled cousin for his own means “Look at me, I’m a human too…send money”. I once asked him to start a collection for a player’s family, and was told he would get back to me….still fucking waiting. If it was a fund to raise money for ‘pies in need’ then I’m sure Dunk would get back to me.
Well done to everyone for attempting to out the truth about Fatty.

ex-Koptalker
I used to be a member of KrapTalk until recently. When the switch to the “new servers” was happening they wanted a whole load of info on members which I wasn’t prepared to give so I let my membership die.
If this is the sort of drivel he’s still coming out with then I’m pleased I did what I did!
Luckily, I only paid one sub as I’d won a “lifetime” membership for a pound……Even then I feel robbed!
The S*n advert is not a surprise. The man clearly has no morals…… and even less interest in LFC (

Carl
Basically I feel what Dunk and all at Koptalk are doing is criminal and needs to be stopped. They are trading under the goodwill of the clubs supporters and blackening the name of scousers by stealing from Liverpool fans all over the world.
Keep up the good work. I’ll be happy when Dunks scam is closed down.

ex-KTer
Can’t believe I used to pay money to that site and read all that bollocks as if it was true!
What a mug I was, but at least I’ve seen the light.

Ex KTer
Is Koptalk still going then??? lol
I left over 6 months ago and don’t miss it in the slightest which says something. There was no news, inside info, or anything on that site except for a fat dictator and the big chip on his shoulder.
Enjoy your exile in Spain or wherever, fat man!!

Cloggs
I used to post on KT as well and I was banned after I questioned Dunc about the Lauren scam. I have to be honest and admit that I always gave him the benefit of the doubt but I got suspicious when he decided to send flowers to Mrs.Houllier when Ged left. Obviously paid for by the loyal contributors of the site. Then when the Lauren thing kicked off it made me sick to my stomach.
Good on you lads for showing this guy for what he is.

Steven
This KopTalk are a joke. I uploaded a video of Hicks a few months ago and guess what?
KopTalk have uploaded it and added their address to it. I wasn’t bothered by this whole anti-KT thing but now I’ve seen a subscription based site use one of my videos, without even telling me AND adding their address to claim credit I’m disgusted. The content I uploaded is available elsewhere, however I trimmed it and uploaded it, KT haven’t even had the decency to do this and have instead just re-uploaded my version.
What a pathetic excuse of a subscription-based site, they result to stealing content off a teenager’s YouTube account to use on their own.

TheDoctor
I simply left koptalk as I realised what a robbing fat cunt you really are and everything that you ever post on the site are lifted directly from the morning newspapers, in most instances The Sun.
You have no insiders and no knowledge of LFC

microbe
Hi, I just thought I would say hello as I allowed my subscription to K**talk expire today after visiting your site which brought home just how much crap comes out of the fat man’s mouth.
I’m now looking for another site to catch up with fellow red fanatics

anon
I have been a member of koptalk for 3 years and I am not renewing my subs next month because the site is dead.
Its becoming a trend for people to leave and I have now realized that dunks information is not cutting edge as promised. In fact, I often find it on others sites first.
I was also disappointed to find out that Kop had left the site. He was a beacon of news and his contribution will be missed.
The main reason I stayed for so long was my sub automatically renewed itself. I never knew how to cancel the auto renewal subscription and was too embarrassed to ask. I took the plunge this week and contacted paypal and they helped me. My bank account will now be better off to the tune of 43 euros and I will have more for drinking, lol

anon
I was locked out today because I never renewed my subs. The site has gone downhill because it looks as though a few people have left or just stopped posting. I was thinking of renewing until a recent post by the Informer/wallet about Tevez and just knew, it was all bullshit.
Its a shame that a few of us have been sucked into that desperation for a bit of news and thats something dunk will have to live with.
Thanks for the advice about the auto renewal and saving me some money. I have joined a site from my own shores of Ireland (irishkop) and Im enjoying the craic with the lads.

Niklas
We just got locked out to. The site sucks. They only steal news from other sites and post them there. And making money of it?! It’s a scam!

ProbOffski
So where has everyone gone to? All the people I used to talk to have gone and the place is like a morgue now… will prob go join em when I know where!

WelshRed
When I first joined “The Insider”, there were quite a few respected posters who were obviously “in the know”. Steadily these posters have disappeared, mostly due to being hounded out by others. I appreciate that Rafa also runs a tighter ship and that the amount of news coming out of Anfield or Melwood is restricted.

Ben
I left about a year ago. The clincher for me was when Duncan claimed to have been asked personally by the yanks to set up some sort of meeting with a consortium involving King Kenny. I mean that really was absurd.

Scottish Eejut
The KT site’s like tumbleweed and the smart ones have moved on. It’s hard to leave your mates, but eventually, they’ll all leave.
Charging money to discuss LFC on a website is ridiculous in this day and age and especially when there are far superior sites out there that do exactly that.

Penman
I guess I”m just one of many who have left! I feel no particular bitterness towards the site…indeed I enjoyed the community. However, there is a lot less substance on the site than even a year ago. There is no inside info, and there never was actually. Maybe most important for me – SOS need support! So my subscription money is better served going to SOS than Koptalk, where the money would not ultimately benefit the club in any way.

senorbutch
Dunks time as a LFC fraudster must surely be coming to an end. The man is scum. Im one of the guys he misslead for years on koptalk. hes a lieing thieving git.
the only thing unique about his site is it will cost you.
kontalk is a site puposly set up to tale from inocent naive , but good Liverpool fans.

Austin Powers
Hello good LFC FANS, I Cant belive i belong to this Forum. I most certainly Will not be continueing my subs with this site.
I must admit i thought dunk smelt a bit fishy a while ago what with all the compotitions he runs, without having a winner.

Glasnevinred
Not really too many genuine sources on here, it seems. Thought Koptalk prided itself on access to insiders. Don’t see much news breaking here. Off to BBC Sport.

Ballbag
Been reading this site for a couple of hours now and i cant believe the amount of info on here. Im going to have to cancel my subscription.
THere are various refferences to free sites which geve just the same amount of iinfo.

Have_I been_Tricked?
Hi
I have been a member of Koptalk for 7 years, I have been following this site for a couple of months and not sure what to make of it all?
I am starting to feel fleeced, koptalk has definitely went down hill with all the departures. I never went on for the insider stuff just for the banter and the community, but there isn’t one now.
I still need my liverpool fix everyday, are there any other liverpool sites that you can recommend. I would love to go to the site where alot of the ex-koptalk members have gone – kop, selkirk, lector, cat, SenorButch?

TerryJ
Main reasons for leaving;
Censorship,
Bullsh1t
Misinformation
Condescension by Dunk
Badmouthing of past members by Dunk
Lack of recognition of LFC related issues
The board that Koptalk uses has many facilities that have been deliberately disabled by Dunk to prevent any form of communication between members, ask yourselves why. Why shouldn’t I be able to send a private message to another member just like I could do on other forums on whatever topic on the internet?
Seems that Dunk only want us to read what he puts out through Informer and Wallet, who are of course, as everyone knows really, Dunk, that’s why Dave100 thanks Dunk nearly every time one of them makes a post. It is also pretty clear that 100% of what those two so called insiders post is made up bullsh1t put together from various other LFC sites and then qualified with a few corkers such as “it should happen tomorrow but it could be delayed so it might happen later”.
Dunk would do anything for money, remember the “buy me a pint” farce? If I was an LFC website owner and someone openly slagged me off on a blog as a former, now returned member, Kop, has done, would I take him back? Would I [oops]. Ask yourselves why Dunk has taken him back, the answer in common with most questions asked about Dunks integrity is money. You have it, he wants it and he will do anything to get his hands on it. Do you really think Dunk would pay out to the posters contributing to his latest Euro lottery scam? I don’t think so.
I was sat on the fence for some time, I never really thought about these issues but when I started to get suspicious I decided to do a bit of research and the penny dropped and quite frankly it hurt me to know that I was supporting this con man in his efforts to fleece fellow supporters. He is a parasite living off the blood of fellow reds like yourself and he needs to be stopped.
Dunk has disabled the PM function on the site and he will not allow any access to other posters e-mail address’s. Reason being, he doesn’t want you to communicate as the lies and deceit will surely surface if he does.
Dunk should have banned a few of the posters that constantly tried to bring the mood down but instead he only sought to ban people who questioned him and who obviously saw through his bullshit.
He recognised that these idiots are exactly the type of idiots he needs to converse with in the shoutbox and keep convinced that they are “members of his family”, thereby keeping the charade going and milking them of their annual subs.
I hope a few more of the good guys on there realise this and tell him to go fuck himself.

Penman96
You know – I guess some people have the right to make money from a website, but what if…
* The website is accepting money for book publications that are essentially just scam, and are never published.
* The website is lying about access to players, club facilities, and club executives that they clearly don’t have
* The website is posting false information, under a variety of false names and false pretences, in order to further the scam about the website having correct information, in order to profit.
* The website are pretending to support Liverpool Football Club, yet using material from a criminal media source, pornographic, lying publication that openly mocked the innocent victims of a police crowd control disaster.
Don’t get me wrong, I was there for a long time too. I was there for the community, just like you. But if you think about all the bullshit that was perpetrated on that site, I don’t believe there is any valid reason to support Mr. Oldham’s business. In fact I think there are many valid reasons why it should be closed. Let’s face it, there was a lot there that was just fucking creepy.

Sean_Da_Man
Your right, during my last days I was unable to post. Having to just sit there and see the bullshit that is posted and how it is posted is truly amazing. He is obviously doing people wrong and using LFC just to line his pockets. The idea of a closed private community though is something I would pay for if it was legit. The well will run dry for Dunk eventually….

A Current KT Member
I have seen the light and am in the process of moving to a different forum…
I will announce my departure on KT and I dont think it will go down to well.

Legin1973
I am afraid my time on KT are over I just dont enjoy the site anymore…I think it has become boring!..
There seems to be so few people on here nowadays.
I have been a part of Koptalk for 5 years and have enjoyed it most days but not recently.
I dont feel I can offer the site anything anymore and I dont feel it offers me anything anymore.
Dunk I honestly feel you need to do something to save your site its sinking fast and I arent sure you are interested in it anymore…not enough to save it anyway.
You seem to have so many other projects going on I dont see how you can possible dedicate the time need to Koptalk which is a shame but thing changes. Maybe it would br better to shut it down and call it a day rather than drag a once wonderful site through the mud.

exkoptalker
Duncan Oldham is a conman always has been and always will be, user, abuser and self centered bastard who only thinks about himself. He is full of bull shit and only convinces himself with his pathetic lies. All of his tweets are lies and believes that his haters help him survive the only thing that helps him survive is Magners and Steaks, one because he is a piss head and two because he is a fat greedy cunt and three because innocent koptalk members pay his way. He uses everybody and is a Mummies boy sad I know, he also uses women and lives off of them.
The truth will come out soon Mr Oldham be prepared!

KopTalk Member
I parted with a tenner each month for six months, to help towards keeping a roof over Lauren’s Mum and Dad’s head when she was struck down. To this day, I have never received an acknowledgement or thanks for this gesture from anyone.
But what I did get was my ‘Honorary Member’ title taken away from me soon after; the same title which was awarded to me after being proposed by fellow member(s) of the site, but not in recognition of my pledges.
I couldn’t give a shit about the Honorary badge, and I’d still have continued to pay my subs, regardless of the fact that I would not have been obliged to do so.
I have still not digested this yet, and feel rather stupid about the above just by typing it.

(from KT)
Anyone know how to Quit this site ,and how to cease paying a subscription ?
I have never read so much SH**E in all my life.
I have supported the Reds for 44 years,you expect this on Talksport(Talksh**e)but not on a pro Liverpool website.
Can i have my money back i need to leave.

Pete
I have been a member of KT for a few years now and have just been on the site for the first time in a few days and I have to admit I am pretty close to never goling back.
I’ve enjoyed my time there but have been follwoing this site for a few months and have become increasingly unhappy about what goes on with KT.
Now this insider story that senior players want Rafa out.
To me it just doesn’t add up, but it does seem to fit with the theory on this site Dunk is desperate to generate debate and get things going on KT.
Sad stuff, but it does fit with the other stories he has come up with over the years that have no foundation.
I am going to give KT a wide berth for a few weeks and see how I feel.

Frank
I am also a long time member of koptalk that has become dismayed and alarmed at the decline of the site. I have also been disappointed to see so many credible posters leave, posters who kept the place buoyant and engaging. I have also followed this site for quite a while and initially refused to believe any of the allegations against dunk, but recently things are starting to add up. I think it was a insult to everyones intellegence how dunk tried to promote activity at the expense of rafa and the players.
Something is not right and it has not been since steve left the site. I refuse to believe steve would just up and run if he is the Liverpool fan he said he was and I certainly dont believe that he is back concentrating on going to school.
I am also going to be taking a break from the site. My subs expire in 2 months and at this rate, I dont believe I will be renewing.

Old-Wilkie
@ Frank and Pete.
I was in the same position as you guys. Maybe worse.
At first I was in a kinda denial – that I could be duped. Then Angry.
Anyway it soon passed when I tried the other LFC forums. They are genuinely about a thousand times better than Koptalk. The one I use now has intelligent, articulate and indeed humorous posters, that keep me informed and in stitches. They are hugely more active than KT ever was.
Give one or two a whirl. You will soon move on and realise that KT was actually small fry.

Bright Sunny Day
I have been a member of Koptalk for over 5 years. I’ve always liked the site, even though I’ve heard negative things about the owner(s) of the website. I wondered why Steve and Katie left. I’m not sure I believe all the comments on here, but I’ve seen enough to understand all is not right with Koptalk.
In the past 2 years, the site has gone downhill simply because the number, and quality, of posts has decreased significantly. I seldom post — I’ve been a lurker for the most part — but I find that it’s been rather quiet for the last 6 months, and if truth be told, more like the last 18 months.
I have considered cancelling my subscription. Having read the posts on this website (some of which come across as rather cynical, personal, controversial and ill-willed I might add — but I understand the ire and antagonism of some of the members of this blog), I’ve been persuaded, overall, to move on. TIA — here I come.
I will not give my reasons. They have been listed here and discussed ad nauseum amongst your posters, but I’ve had enough and will inform my friends of my decision and the reasons.
Thank you blog for enlightening me and bringing me to my senses.
Charlie.

ANON
I’d like to remain anon as I am still a member of KT (Until June 10 when I will not be renewing)
It’s getting to the point where I don’t know what I’m paying £32 a year for? To post my views? I can do that on any other forum for free. I belong to a few other well known free LFC Sites.
I have a story that might interest you lot.
Back in 2002/3 I won a Free for Life Insider subscription competition. All was fine until the email address I had with KT become invalid as I was made redundant from work. One day I went to log in and it wouldn’t let me. I contacted support and was told my subscription had run out. I informed them that I was a comp winner and gave them my username, password, old email and new email.
I got a reply saying they had no record of me winning that competition. I told them upon winning the competition I had to pay £1 via chq and they must have a record of it. I had my old chq stubs and could send them a copy along with a bank statement.
I was rejected again with another email telling me they had lost all records before a certain year when they switched server. They also said that as the comp was for the Gold Insider that my winners membership wasn’t valid anymore. I told them it had been valid for the last 3 years and even the day before and I hadn’t even noticed the name change!
Whatever I told them in order to help them find me and my account it was thrown out.
That really pissed me off but as I enjoyed Koptalk and it had a good community I didn’t want to leave and paid the £32 and have done ever since – that is until my subs run out in June.
In the Jan transfer window the wallet or Horse told us that a medical was planned and that one deal was done and another was going through. By them Maxi was common knowledge and that other deal? Nothing. It seems the inside info was just being made up in order to keep interest up.
Any way there’s my story.
Thanks
Anon.

Why Dunk has to lie about having inside info. Everyone knows the Wallet and The Horse is him.
There is nothing he posts that you can’t find out on other football sites. He admitted that since Rafa took over its hard to get any information unlike the Houllier days when it was easy (bearing in mind if what he put in Houlliers time was true of course)
If there is no inside info what is there to pay for? I belong to a top LFC forum and I also am a member of various music artists and I don’t have to pay anything to post my views or comments. So why do I have to pay to do the same on Koptalk? OK if a donation is needed to help fund the site then fair enough but to get everyone to pay €40 (roughly) is a bit steep.
If he dropped the membership fee, refunded all the current members and opened the forums to everyone free of charge that would go some way to pay back the 100s he has deceived (it’s a start) But he won’t because the subscription pays for is Dunks Villa in Spain.
The site is dead now. 16 new mugs – sorry members – since 01 Jan 10 is poor.
The other day there were 22 people on there at 6pm which is really bad when you consider it was a match day. Koptalk is over and I think deep down Dunk knows that.

I feel shamed that I bought this guys crap for nigh on 16 months (and paid for two years of it)
Still switching was not the horrible jump that I thought it would be.
Still.. Nobody mocked me (well not in malice anyway haha). Instead I was greeted with open arms by a number of sites and furthermore was (and still am) encouraged to come along to meet ups at which I could speak to my fellow reds without having to go through a ‘filter’
If any of you KTers are reading this, take note. I was once a prolific poster on KT but left.
I now enjoy the freedom of speech that every Liverpool supporter, nay every WEBSITE poster, should be allowed without question

jea
You should take more care of your customers, there aren’t that many left.
The only so called “insiders” left are wallet and The_informer who is probably some in your family who puts things online that are pure guessing or something that has already been printed in the papers.
Every time someone has spoken against you on the forum you delete and kick people.
Koptalk was fun when I joined, but it has been downhill ever since and is nearing rock bottom.
You say you have all the haters, have you taken a step back and wondered why? Could be because you deserves to be hated for the things you do to people – the lies. God damn there is a host of websites out to warn against you – they can’t all be wrong.
You have made the bed, now you must lie in it!

I won’t be renewing my subscription.
It has been dead as nothing has happned. If we win its pretty quiet.
Only when we lose does it get busier and then its idiots just trading insults.
There is so little decent discussion and sadly Dunk seems to actaully encourage the idiots. I guess if these are the only activity he can get on the site he’ll take it, but in my opinion its just putting the final nail in the KT coffin, as its driving away the last few decent members.
