Welcome .....

Iorek · 29th January 2007, 02:18 AM

We stay in a small place called Cubuk as we have to be near the airport, but as my wife's job needs certain levels of security so I can't tell you our exact address.

You are very wrong about swedish people not having good english, we are taught english from junior school and I grew up listening to bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana as I am a rock music fan and we watch mostly all hollywood films, but i have seen australian films, MadMax is hard to beat as is also a good film Priscilla queen of the desert.

I come from a wealthy middle class family as well so this means my parents cared for me and my education better than a swedish working class parents would. As I come from a priviliged upbringing where my parents loved and cared for me, they knew that I would benefit from a great deal of being taught english. My children will be taught swedish and english.

i am a small bit insulted by your query about my english.

lets be friends? Yes?

What does a lopa mean i have never seen this before?

a_lopa · 29th January 2007, 02:23 AM

Ok Iorek freinds

A_Lopa =aussie lopper.

How about a few work pictures from turkey ill be most impressed.

Iorek · 29th January 2007, 02:42 AM

Yes photos of Turkey i have and photos of myself doing treework in sweden, you will like them. i wiil put thgem up before the end of the week once i sort out the best ones.

I see from your website your real name is Jason, Yes? do you mind if i call you this from now on, as i am called Iorek and you know this, a lopa seems unfriendly to me being from sweden.

I see the other owners are called Eric and the TreeCo from ???????? is called Dan from their websites, if i am going to continue to use this website i will call you by your real names as you know mine. i do not like avatars or fake made up names, it is very insincere and lacks integrity from you people being the owners. Ok?

More thoughts on treehouse(masterblasters lounge) yes? you ask for this?

I spent maybe 2 hours on this forum yesterday, the person masterblaster is what we would say in sweden, a phoney like a walter mitty type of man, despersate to seem lovable to everyone. swedish people are the most sensitive and emotionally intelligent when it comes to picking up peoples state of mind, yes? so for us it is easy to understand that the masterblaster person is very insecure and has to spend most of his time on internet forums like the ???????? to make people notice his existence, do you people know this person? Maybe? I am telling to much information about this person.

i will be able to tell you, Eric the owner and Dan what kind of people you are after reading a few of weeks of your posts.
I can tell the owner Eric is a good person with gold in his heart for he wants to express his love of trees into a web forum, but he is tempted to imitate lesser ideas he copys from other sources on the web. Yes?

He is also very busy a man to concentrate with his palm tree felling business and run a forum, Yes? this would seem to be the story from looking at his amount of posts on the ????????????, ???????? and all his video making at Brisbane. I always do my research about web forum owners before I join a forum to see what kind of people the really are, Yes?

I have to go now, so i will see you later, Yes?

a_lopa · 29th January 2007, 02:57 AM

Yes no problem calling me Jason,Iorek thats fine.

Im not that fussy with pictures anything you have off hand is ok.

Looking forward to seeing them ill share some more of mine

have a good night

Iorek · 29th January 2007, 03:26 AM

Jason, you said any photos I have offhand is ok, Yes?

I am sitting here beside my photos of my wife with a bikini on with her girlfriends when we last went to the beach. So if you think I will show these pictures to you are wrong. To think this would be possible.

If you make any remarks like this again it will probably offend me, Ok?

My wife is a beautiful woman but she is my woman, So I have seen trolls on the Rock and Movie forums asking for this information before. Being sneaky to ask for photos like this in a certain innocent way.

Maybe I am misunderstanding you, I hope.

Ekka · 29th January 2007, 04:22 AM

$100 we're paying for a better banner ... heck I knocked that one up in an hour or so but I was also getting the forum up and running.

$100 I'm serious, see what you can come up with if you got some paint skills.

I also have another website www.weareallabouttrees.com.au that isn't quite finished. That's going to be marketed for all the tree lovers that get scared when you pull out a chainsaw.

Iorek, many forums, many players, here's the difference.

AS ... heavy on chainsaws and logging, wood heating etc, not much arb talk.

TB ... heavily ISA and USA focused, not much general everyday chit chat .... has been referred to as the library SSSHHHH. Some people tell me they're not confident to post there, they might be looked down upon as a noob.

TreeHouse (masterblaster's lounge) is just that, it's like you have to be his friend or don't visit. He can turn on you like a myxied rabbit and have a gang of hoodlums following too.

He started that forum whilst he was an AS member, flogged AS members then got banned for it from AS. Here's an interesting article on mob mentality. You might want to bookmark the home site.

http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/lani...6.2_index.html

So what's the difference we are shooting at?

1. I'd like to see a well linked and referenced site that has parts which regardless of posters is loaded with documents and info ... hence the Tree Fact Factory and the Regulations area. Imagine being able to search for the regulations in your town etc. There's not one site I know of i can send people to ... to get that for every locale, so lets build it.

2. I'd like to see the people qualified to talk about something doing that ... not trolls or guestimators arguing rhetoric and egos.

3. Genuine home-owner help from #2 above.

4. A place where pros can discuss their issues indiscriminately of sponsors and arb organisations. Later perhaps by region, an Australian forum, Europe forum, US forum etc

5. Fair fun and just moderation independent of old friendships and hidden agendas. You will notice heavy bias in moderating on other forums toward certain members.

6. And most important happening already. A place where suitably trusted and qualified people can post, link, discuss and scrutinize for improvement their reports and real life consultative issues behind closed doors where trolls and trouble makers cant see. Many of us pros need a place for that and an open board ain't it nor is some perverse powder room full of wannabes.... we do not have a place like that anywhere else but we do here, however you gotta show ya credentials and history.

7. A professional site where real life issues will be posted and delegates etc from govts and authorities invited to comment ... a work board. We want public clarity and scrutiny. Also a place our customers can come to!

8. More marketing and exposure than existing sites offer targeted to the regions required to get a fair balanced board ... more europeans, more Aussies etc. With my skills in marketing I can do that, home right in on what we want.

I hope this helps you understand what we are about.

Regarding the look of the board ... well this is a vbulletin board out of the box ... all good things do take a little time and I cant do it all on my own, so if you have some skills you are most welcome to help. Maybe in Announcements I should start a wish list and as we accomplish certain things we cross them off etc.

Many cars look alike but it's all about how you drive them.

Sorry about the long post but I do hope it helped answer some of your questions. This is cheers here

and this is maybe schnaps there

Congratulations on the new forum. $100 for a new banner? I'll have to check out that thread and see what exactly you're looking for. Is that Aussie or American dollars?

(I had a heck of a time getting past that verification image, for the record.)
