Dear OcUk member,

We at OcUk are always striving to provide you, our valued community, with the best possible forum experience. Part of this involves soliciting regular feedback.
Following our most recent user survey, it has come to our attention that many of our members wish to have the same great community aspects of OcUk, but with more leeway in terms of what content is permissable. In order to provide this atmosphere, we have decided to partner with another forum so that we can provide the same family friendly atmosphere on OcUk, while allowing our users to enjoy the freedom to express themselves as they wish

The forum we have chosen as our partner is The Self Preservation Society, and can be found at http://www.the-sps.org

Following registration there, simply email your user id to a Don (details available in the FAQ), and we will set up the link between the two, in order that your details may be replicated between the two fora.

Once again, may we take this opportunity to thank you for your continued contribution

Regards, OcUk
I don't read over there, and really can't be bothered, so anyone wanna explain whats going on?

Yes, its total arse, sent by someone who wants to stir up trouble, its not really our business and I get the impression that the guys over at SPS want nothing to do with it either.

No one at the sps knows who sent it and tbh, no one wants the hassle this has caused.

Personally I think it's a Recruitment drive & by the looks of it quite a succesful one an all.

It wasn't me

It's pissed me off to be honest partly because 95% percent of people don't give a crap anymore, but also my personal email address (different domain) is hosted there and I'll end up getting the IP backlisted if they carry on this like :/

Have many new people joined there since this was sent out? I would have thought if anything it would have the opposite effect, oddness.

You obviously have somebody there who is only thinking of themselves mate. It's a Shame as SPS can be as Funny as **** & the continuation of anti other place BS only puts people off. People seemed to be coming back to the place recently for the Humour but with all this kicking off again I think it will put them off again.

Having your personal details linked & potentially blacklisted is ******** & just another example of people only thinking about themselves

Well what happens is all the Tools come out the woodwork as they think there is back up for there own Stupid grievance against Oc. Also there is the general interest factor of Who/What is this SPS, Best go have a look.
Out of this comes two things, More pettyness & sniping against Oc or more people that miss out on the Humour of SPS then disregard the site as anti oc.
Either way it's bad.
