Its the WAY you do stuff not what you get that irks people. reprinting DTD's....crowing about being arrested and being let go.....now getting APG's over 50 quid and going into the same stores to use them 4 or 5 times a day.
I love stash pics as much as the next person.......but filling the back of your transit van to car boot while risking store bans and highlighting the whole thing to asda's top brass is NOT my idea of sharing!!
Yes I got hundreds of botles of beer, but I'm a big drinker and I'll use it all up quicker than you'd think (do the maths at half a dozen bottles a night). Theres plenty of glitches I simply ignore or don't partake in. Why didn't you highlight those? Oh of course, it doesn't suit your agenda does it? I will also add that I did all those beers without any major troutings, no need for multiple shops, going back and forth into shops 5 or 6 times a day. It was all accumulated nice and quietly without raising my profile in the stores.
Get it yet? No? I didn't think you would...........:rotfl:
My apologies for the reply's tardiness; been on my lunch.
Firstly, agendas. You have yours, I have mine. You use examples to emphasise yours, I use them to emphasise mine. There are many glitches I too ignore. I haven't done a single boots glitch (don't have a card) or bodyshop or L'oreal voucher shop etc.
I of course have done many Tesco shops. Reuse of vouchers was decided upon as a line by you, many others and me some time ago. This is ancient history. Each to their own. I have not had a single APG over £50. I go to several shops each day not one. I have NEVER been arrested nor taken anywhere or majorly trouted. Please don't mix me up with someone else. I don't own a van. My car is a modest size and I come out with 3-4 bags per shop.
What I do, however, different to you is approve of sharing with everyone, not just the "elite". In your response to the "chill" thread you mention you like to do it via PM. This is depriving others of a glitch. This forum is not for people to deprive others. Saying it will get pulled quicker for a few so we shouldn't share is not on IMO.
I understand your comments about flying under the radar and I have taken that advice and reduced my APG amounts and visits to certain shops. Everything I have ever glitched I have used or have given to friends and family. I have helped two families through CCJS, bankruptcy and the like by keeping them in food. This morning I emailed 35 people who are members of my loval Dads group to help them and the local sure start centre (they pass on the info to families who REALLY need this stuff). I also donate lots to the foodbank and recycle many vouchers to other users.
700 bottles of beer can not be accumulate quietly. You must've been getting 7 at once. How is this worse than me getting 7 shampoo at once? I have yet to see you come up with a logical argument to my point that doesn't make YOU out to be the selfish one and not me. I have merely made it easier for people to exploit this glitch, just like what a Grabit is supposed to be.
PS - I have no problem with taking this from the Elite and onto a new one and suggest we do that after the 10,000 post split. But don't try to fool people into thinking your friendly circle is nothing more than a selfish-self interested (for some) ring.I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.

I think the atmosphere has changed on here
I do realise that there are a lot of glitches on at the moment which will naturally attract a lot of newbies and a lot of questions
However i do think that that there is more taking than sharing going on at the moment
What people have always loved about this thread and what has always made it so special is that the sharing and community was as important (if not more so) than the bargains and glitching
I feel so sad when i read posts like FK's as it only reminds me of how a lot of what has always been special about the thread has gone
Sorry i just felt the need to say that0 -

This has brought tears to my eyes as it has touched a real nerve with me as I feel the same way too.
I think it is time that maybe everyones lists were posted on a seperate thread so that we can carry on supporting each other in our lives and sharing the info on glitches. We can still say this and that is working and post links to the another thread with the lists on. We always did that if something came up on Grabbit.
This thread has been such a support to me when I have been down about my mum but I am finding it really difficult to keep up with it and I got really upset that I forgot to wish 3dogs mam a happy birthday yesterday.
I agree with you Tinyshoes
I am feeling so down and near to tears. The entire heart of this thread is in tatters. The support seems to have gone as the pages fly by and too many posts to ever have a hope in reading them all.
I know all the regulars and consider them my cyber friends and miss them these days. I too missed sending birthday greetings to 3dogs mam, I'm so sorry about this as I feel very connected to 3dogs.
Oh how I wish this thread could return to it's normal selfThere's no place like home
Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.
Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.0 -

And no FK photos of anything and dinner! Get your butt into photo mode, Mr FK.
before all this glitching kicked off i was a bit of a lurker , didnt have much to provide and not much time to sit and chat ( kids family etc) did pop in once or twice to say hi,however i do agree the whole feeling of this thread has changed. I was around when the whole fb thing kicked off and left that as it had a bad vibe, please dont let new people destroy this thread. i enjoyed reading catching up, watching the cat jump off the wall etc. once the glitch is cancelled (pretty soon i imagine) a lot will !!!!!! off and leave you all to discuss mushrooms, cats poorly ears and kids. kinda looking forward to it so please fk dont run off.0 -

Correct. I have a demanding job, great hobbies and amazing pals. I unfortunately do not have the luxury or patience to sit at home typing on a forum all day/night.
Nevertheless, to me, your previous post comes across as extremely selfish. Trying to keep these glitches to a select few fortune people who will pm each other. This is not in the spirit of mse.
