    Hello

    WHAT ABOUT PRIVACY LAWS HOW WOULD THEY LIKE IT IF WE READ THEIRS.....

    May not be true about PM bit but at least it a warning not to post external forums.

    Privacy laws ? They are free to read messages you send via their site and you shouldn't be spamming people there trying to get them to join a forum anyway.

    I like boffer, their service has always been great for me.

    here here

    Plus the links were posted on profiles without the use of PM's so that comment doesnt even suggest that Pms are being read thats just hearsay and complete nonsense

    I have just read thru these posts & am a bit concerned now. I have used boffer for a while & bought a few items which I have no complaints about. Also got a BOC which judging by the posts on the boffer forum, most others did a lot better than me, especially the video'd ones. I just took a 2nd chance on the next BOC last night so hope this next one is better. If the BOC is bad again I won't buy another.
    Looking at the comments on this MSE forum I do have my worries now about Boffer. If others really feel sure something is not right then they should report their concerns to the relevant organisations.
    Thank you anyway posters for bringing these concerns to our attention.

    you should go by your own expiereances not others, there is simply a hate campaign by ex banned members going on, if we all rated every site we used by someone elses negative opinion or expierance then EVERY site would be bad, theres a whole lot bein said that has no substance behind it so just dont take everything seriously unless you have reason to fault them yourself :)

    so from this information i can gather that anyone havin a bookmark for mse will also receive a ban from boffer as it has become clear that boffer is a very onesided company

    it is my opinion that the only opinion allowed on this site is boffers brill whether it is or is not

    anypost puttin boffer down seems to get edited whatever happened to freedom of speach
    as for the information about bad mouthin sites i will be till the day i die as i do believe in sayin what i think about any site whether that be good or bad

    critisism is what makes sites better


    but on about makin things the best

    who was it that voted them the best as it says on their about us page

    To cut it short, Boffer is the best website ever. :eek:
