Just say I own a kite-related business.
Let's say I call it Kites-'R'-Exy, would I bother to join a kiting forum? Maybe, maybe not.

So anyway, I register Kites-'R'-Exy as my forum user-name and score free ads everytime I post a topic or reply to one cause the name pops up when I contribute to the discussion.

But is this free exposure risky business because if I'm not careful and I take myself too seriously, I might get sucked into some nasty, mean-spirited arguments with the dumb punters over silly trivial crap?

And that might be bad for business cause I might cheese-off existing customers and alienate future clients which would outweigh the benefit of the free exposure .

Is it all about ego and smart business sense or is it potential jeopardy??

I wonder who you think it is?
I'm sure I know, and I reckon they are part of the Al-Kiter network, a worldwide kite terrorist group who aim to bring down the arrogant infidels whose roots lie in the Poles.

Whatever it is, its a sure funny game, and the funniest people to watch are the teampawns of the Poleclan.

Alex the Hun is a funny shrewd warrior too, always seesm to have another check up his sleeve.

Still I could be totally wrong and its not them after all.

I like the Al Kiter network though, they have made it possible for lots of people to enjoy the terror of kiting.

I am sure there will be more of the adventures of the Al Kiter network, and its all due to source of the Power of Al Kiter!

The founder of Al Kiter is Dave of the O'Neill clan, credit where credit is due! He is the Al Kiter director of comedy and internettainments, amongst other things.

Praise to waveslave for incurring the Power of Al Kiter though, bummer his roots lie in the poleclans, mercy on his soul.

There is a lot more to this epic saga, please keep your attacks on the Power of Al Kiter coming boys, nice work!

Love the entertainment guys.

When I posted 'Free Ads', my intention was that it should read as a hypothetical situation.
But what the heck, if the shoe fits........

Steve thought he smelt a rat but it was only an ole polecat that he had sniffed out from under the crusty 'obsolete' gear.

Windwanking might stink but the Poleclan does have the points on the (kite) board, they do have history with wind. They figure that there's a pecking-order and (wrongly?) expect new networks to suckup and pay their dues.

A spanner has been thrown into the works of this masterplan in the form of a Hypefish. The weapon of mass seduction.
When the first school of silvery fish flop on the sand gasping for air, brace yourselves for the Mother of all Forum-Fights.

(Nice fights though, no bad vibes.)

Well Slave to the Wave all that crap must be written in the Poleclan Bible of lies, and all the duped simply beleive that the power comes from the boom and the pole.

The Al Kiter Network and all of its true adherents, whose knowledge is passed along the lines, feel the real truth everytime they fly and worship the Power of Al Kiter.

The arrogance of the Poleclan will be their undoing, they forget that only a couple of decades ago their idol the pole never existed. They believe their own tripe so much and many naish their teeth in jealous rage, dreaming the hasbeen dreams.

Bin Cuben is a legendary kiter who feels the terror strongly, but he does not sit on the fence bagging the gas or show off for the teamprawns.

The WEhad will continue, the Hellfish has been released, the guantlet has been laid down at the stinking feet of the unprepared and complacent leaders of the Poleclans.

Those of the poleclan who face Waca many times a day and pray to the lords of pole, beware of leaving your backside open for intrusion. There is always a Poleclaner waiting for his time to show dominance of the wind by plugging thy wind hole with his fancy new boom.

Cya and

Au contrare, Bin Cuben Al Best Hellfish (thats his full name) was made to kite, his connection to the ancient lines is obvious to all those who know the truth does not lie in the North.

The Poleclan chieftans have decieved even their own about Bin Cuben and tried to ignore him, they feared and misunderstood him. They assumed they could cover the world in polygods forever, and take rivers of gold as their reward

But all will be revealed by the Wehad, invoked in Bin Cubens name, Caution will be abandoned, some will say Wipikrap, others will know the Naish of the Cabrinha will Airush away into the Windwings of Airborne dust, and will forget the faces of their fathers, some may try to Fone home but will find the number has changed.



All those rivers of gold, gouged from the sweat and toil of the misled polechildren and misinformed masses of assorted terror lovers, that once richly supported the Poleclan chieftans are drying up, the teamprawns are not happy! However, there is hope, many will see the light and feel the Power of Al Kiter and convert, Bin Cuben will lead the way out of the polydarkness, join the Wehad, rejoice in the unstoppable Power of Al Kiter!

Can't wait till the news filters though of the mass suiside of al kiter supporters found surrounding a drum of multched tin foil that had painfully choked each fanatic that sucked on it.

Waveslave I thought you had more in store for me, oh well, it was fun.
This is for you and Ral Inn

Al Kiter is not an "ISM", its not for people who need to beleive in hero's, and heirarchy sytems (even though there are Al Kiters who have achieved legendary status like Bin Cuben).
The Legends that surround Bin Cuben are propogated and maintained by the sour negativity of the Poleclans and their teamprawns constant rubbishing and bashing of anything that threatens the rivers of poly derived gold.

Al Kiter is not a cult, even though you RalInn may think it is, your view is more a reflection of your own beliefs than it is of the the reality of the Al Kiters. The need to feel part of a group is the domain of the Poleclans and the teamprawns, these poor souls are the ones most likely to do a group snuff under a big poly tarp.

Al Kiters are soulkiters and respect the ancient lines, they know where the source of the Power of Al Kiter comes from. If Bin Cuben fails in his endeavours to deliver a better, shinier source of transmission of the Power, Al Kiters will just move on, they are free spirits, not bound to beliefs, fancy badges or big prices.

They kite for the freedom and to spread the joy of being terrorised by the Power of Al Kiter

Just to add an end to this saga of the impending appearance of Bin Cuben, the Power of Al kiter is the Wind, and since we all worship the wind, we are all connected and therefore should be more tolerant and co-operative.

So if you kite and the wind is your friend, then you are part of the infinite Al kiter network, regardless of whether you still worship the Pole, stinkboat, cable whatever.

Cya and
