Heard about this forum so thought I'd join in and take a look around.

While surfin' the web, saw an interesting link on Lockpicks.com about the LSS infobase.

After a bit more searchin', stumbled on the author's website and the price there was higher than on lockpicks.com!

Go check it out!

here it is:

in the LP101 rules, rule 18 states:

18. Due to the increased internet activity and new sites popping up daily we do not allow posting of direct competition or indirect competition websites or links on this forum. We will not be an advertising portal, for ad-rates contact Mr. Picks via PM.


so...while links to "better" pricing is a nice gesture, it is also a direct violation of the rules. so please don't do it.

*note 1: this is NOT a flame. (or at least it's not meant to be)
**note 2: i am NOT a moderator and do not clame to be.
***note 3: if i am wrong and a moderator reads this, and says so, then my apologies.

Well...

That rule is, I believe, aimed at rival forums. Because lockpicks.com, security.org, or any other site that exists to sell picks is not in competition with LP101 (i.e. not trying to recruit or drain our membership,) it's OK if he wants to let people know where to get a copy of LSS for less. If an item is available for a good price, LP101 members should be informed of it. That's the sort of thing this forum is for.

Good find Dandy.

There are no rival forums. Just other forums. 8)

And yes, the rules is really about using LP101 to promote your own site. Letting members know about relevant things on sites such as cryto.com, security.org, lockpicks.com, etc is fine.

Cheers,

Hey, what could possibly rival LP101? What WAS I thinking?
