You don't seem to understand. This place is like an Oasis, anybody can come here and show or review a new product: this is marketing paradise for any company...but there is one simple rule that has always been the "insignia" here: fairplay. In this community reps and users post together in plenty sections, and we do have a tooooooooon of people that get sponsored stuff to test. So, we don't get marketing BS that vendors like to put on their boxes...we get professional reviews from enthusiast users, and that alone feeds the machine: good products get self-praised and announced and crap gets bashed and hated.
So, you are looking at this from the wrong side: I have no idea on the numbers but I seriously belive that EK has made hundreds of thousands thanks to this forum alone throughout the years. Obviously, its a mutual relation: I give you money, you give me products that suit me, but its not a "forever relatin". Everybody knows that this forum is as hard and critique as one could ever be...and at the same time praises quality like no others.
Here, most of the time you won't read complains about money: wether something is expensive or not ain't important, what it IS important is that what you paid for stands to it.
PS: about the signatures. XS has also a name to stand by. If this forum recommended as of now (through his users, obviously) EK products I would be VERY disappointed. I know for a fact that Eddy will fix whatever caused this issues (he is the one that has been praised for ages, because of his good product line) althought we might never know officially: but when that day comes and the products are again as they have to be, we will alll praise such products.
You are missing the point. In forums like this you get free PR and publicity if your product is up to the task. This is why all small companies come here...because it helps them a lot if they are up to the ask. Now, if they are not up to it they never ever show here or they would bankrupt in a hardbeat.
You want facts, do you? Here they are:

Swiftechs Chrome process is, in total, 12 times more thick than EK's process.
Now, you can believe whatever you want as this is a free speech forum: but try to ask yourself why this is only happening with EK, while we have Swiftech, Koolance, DD, AC and some other brands out there?
