888 caused this mess all by themselves.
They’ve had more than enough time and opportunities to nip this in the butt, but, again 888 have chosen (their own choice) not to do jack sh#t about it.
When challenged out comes the threats of a law suit, obviously hoping that will get us off their backs. :laugh:
I agree, hell it took them 6 months just to write a simple statement and that is only because they have now felt our heat and realize that we can have an impact on their business the same way they have on ours.
But in all reality, we all know what they haven’t done and at this juncture I am interested in what they are going to do. Just a mere claim that they are now taking decisive action will not suffice with me and I am sure most here would agree.
Their true colors have already been shown. Other programs here nip all offenses in the bud when brought to light, yet it took 6 months for them to make a simple statement. Lets cut to through all the bs and come to reality. They want our pages down and we want the scrapping to stop and to be dealt with. So what needs to be done by both sides to reach a resolution is what we should be talking about. I will let the more experienced veterans figure that one out.
Frankly I am waiting to see if they are going to play ball after talking with Dom. If they are not, then I would rather spend my time building links or something else that will bear some fruit. I do think we are close to it coming to a head as mentioned previously, and if they don’t change their tune then piss on them. I will always stand up and fight with my fellow webmasters here and put up rogue pages and such, but I will not be wasting anymore time posting about a company that has no intention of cleaning it up. It is futile and a complete waste of time and engergy and it doesn’t put any money in my pocket.
I do think an open forum would be productive if they would come here and face the problem. This board has more professionals than not, and although I think it may get a little heated, I am quite sure we can make it productive. Personally, it is my feeling if they cant take the time to come here and face the music, then they must not take this situation all that seriously. It would behoove them to step in the trenches now in an open forum instead of continuing to hide in the shadows. And if they do decide to come here and enter into the discussion, then I hope they don’t have the threatning lawsuit attitude as that will get them no where. They have a lot of balls even bringing something like that up and if they think the vinegar route is the way to go here then they are not that brite. Welcome to our world 888. It is a pisser when your the victim isn’t it.
