THAT WAS MY FACEBOOK PAGE AND IT HAD ALL THE UNCUT SCENES FROM ALL THE CUT EPISODES ON THERE, ALL THE RARE LOST SKETCHES AND MORE AND WE HAD OVER 500 MEMBERS WHEN FACEBOOK SHUT IT DOWN TO COPYRIGHT DUE TO SOME SNAKE GRASSING IT UP TO THE FACEBOOK POLICE. PEOPLE WOULD COME TO ME TO PURCHASE FULLY UNCUT DVD COPIES/EPISODES THROUGH DOWNLOAD LINKS ON THERE REGULARLY.The “snake” that reported you to the “Facebook police” did so because you’re SELLING copyrighted episodes illegally, instead of simply sharing them. This community is not about illegally selling fanedits, it’s about preserving media. You didn’t even edit these uncut episodes yourself, you just downloaded the ones I made and took credit for them. I know for a fact, because I saw your “promotional” videos on your page, which consisted of all clips I edited together, but strangely enough, had your watermark added to them.

IT’S AMAZING HOW MANY POSTS I SEE OF OFAH AND THE UNCUT VERSIONS, SO IT’S A PRIVILEGE TO HELP FELLOW DIE-HARD OFAH FANS OUT. WELL IF YOU WANT THE FULL UNCUT DVD VERSIONS PM ME AS IM YOUR MAN. ALL OF MY EPISODES HAVE BEEN RESTORED TO DVD QUALITY AND SKILLFULLY EDITED TO FORM COMPLETE UNCUT VERSIONS.And yet here you are, still openly advertising that these episodes for sale. You’re not privileging anyone to part with their hard earned cash in exchange for something you didn’t even make, so don’t flatter yourself. Even if you did make them, you’re still not entitled to sell them, because they’re not yours to sell. Don’t come up with “If the BBC wanted to make money…blah blah”. It’s their property. They’ll sell them how THEY want, NOT how you want.
Can everyone please report this user, before he acquires more fan-edited content and begins to sell that as well. I’m trying to be diplomatic here, but it is very crushing to spend around five years and a lot of money on a project, only to find that someone is openly exploiting it for their own financial and egotistical gain.
How dare you accuse me of getting these uncut episodes from YOU? ALL of these are MY OWN HARD WORK
through years of obtaining footage, and purchasing dedicated software to restore the quality and upscale
them all. A lot of these episodes I have on original recordings from BBC and the ones I was struggling to get I’ve ripped from iTunes and restored into the DVD’s. I had help from another contact in obtaining one episode which was very poor quality from Betamax and I’ve restored that into almost perfect quality and this is one of the rarest episodes and scenes cut for timing restrictions. ALL of this IS MY hard work and effort ok. The absolute cheek of it. And for the record, I’m not offering to sell these to anyone, I was simply stating that these rare uncut episode in full DVD quality can be found out there if you know the right people to ask so I was just giving a heads up to people to let them know. It’s up to them if they wish to progress further isn’t it, not you slating me because your simply a jealous snake in the grass (probably you who grassed my facebook page up). It’s people like you who really annoy me and spoil it for the rest of legitimate fans who are desperate to get their hands on these and you need to get a life. You simply can’t grasp the fact that I’m simply offering to help people obtain these edits. It’s up to the individual in the long run. And also, if you claim to have made these edits yourself LOL, why have you not replied to anyone’s post offering them free edits of them as you so claim. RANT OVER. I don’t know why I bother giving people the heads up. I’ll keep quiet in future.
