Thanks for the heads up. Yeah there is similar crap running at Gambling911. Michael knows this is patently false, but is once again maliciously attempting to damage our business in the hopes his will somehow grow as a byproduct.
This is in the hands of our attornies and the parent company of GPWA IS being sued by our parent company Affiliate Media Inc. We will seek a restraining order and relief from the courts to stop these attacks which have been going on for months now.
You gotta love love the timing of these attacks during the holidays when our offices are closed. Typical cowardly behavior by this honorless group.
It’s a shame Michael has chosen this route as we formally were very supportive of GPWA and had them at all of our past events and even did some battle of the boards typre promos with them. I now believe he had planned this sort of hostile ending from the start.
Look at the preogression of events
1. Just for fun posts and newsletter articles of GPWA purchasing CAP.
2. Launch of GPWA “Magazine”
3. Launch of GPWA Conference and scheduling it right before CAP Euro Barcelona.
4. Surprise purchase of APCW directly after CAP Euro Barcelona even though we had agreement with J Todd to bring him onboard with AMI and paid for his expenses to join us in Spain to sign the contracts!
5. Long thread at GPWA about CAP and suppossed mass bannings etc… Less then 20 people out of nearly 8000 members have been banned from CAP and all for good reason as they were disruptive or hostile. There are no large communities which arent forced to remove some members who refuse to adhere to even basic rules of common courtesy, CAP is no different and no worse. This thread went on and on and on at GPWA.
6. Jeremy Enke quits PAP directly after CAP Euro Barcelona also and opens PAL despite non compete clause and confidentiality agreement. Almost immediately we see Michael embrace his new “community” and start negative posting campaigns there about myself and Warren and CAP.
7. Now open hostility on GPWA public threads attacking CAP, myself and Warren. Its sickening. On Gambling911 there are even posts as to wether I am still alive, so perhaps thats one of their goals/wishes too. That I suffer another heart attack so they keep ratcheting up attacks and pressure. Sick.
Throughout the whole ordeal we have basically taken the high road and tried to not lower ourselves into the mud to roll around with Michael and his new cronies, but it’s impossible to resolve this or stop it wthout the courts getting involved so I cant comment publicly, but you will see the news posts when suits are formally filed and I WILL respond publically then.
In the mean time we do sincerely appreciate the support we have received from our loyal friends and members. Registrations at all the upcoming CAP Events are breaking all previous records so the evil plots of of a few arent having the effect they hoped for. We will get through this.
