Re: Why I don't donate... The ffxiclopedia fraud.

BGwiki will be epic and awesome. It will cut out the middle man and apply awesome directly to forehead. I invite any of those who choose not to be ignorant to use it when it becomes functional.

Re: Why I don't donate... The ffxiclopedia fraud.

Let's here it for people who don't have a fucking clue spreading random gossip. Ganiman and Co have explained what happened to the money. When you run your own site and have the problems they had, then maybe you can talk.

Since no one has the balls to stand up and find out what really happened, I will summarize since I don't have it memorized.

They had a fundraiser because they couldn't operate with the traffic/services they had. They missed their goal by 1/4th. They leased what they could and realised they could never continue with the funds they had left. They were approached by Wikia and sat down to listen to what they had to say. They realized it would be a good move for all involved. During these long negotiations, they continued to lease servers and bandwidth so that you morons could continue to use the services.
When all was said and done, they realised they had about $2000 left. They are working on a way to give it back to the people who donated through a raffle of some sort.

Next time, find shit out before you start saying you will boycott or whatever.

This place can be as bad as BG.

Re: Why I don't donate... The ffxiclopedia fraud.

Jonastb, you do realize that happened before this and this is a continuation of it? Haha, talk about finding shit out.


Anyone who doesn't want to "Dirty their hands" with BG, you can find Taj's blog right here(you might recognize it as the major source of update info for the passed two updates):

Read the second link before you speak. Try again try harder or keep failing, there was no drama here but if you try to call me out, I have no problem making you look like an idiot until I get another warning on my account.

Oh and on a side not to people who don't like bg etc. your endgame info especially salvage is ripped from the pages of bg. Not to mention the input from several BG "Elitist".

Hey, Legal Fish, if you're going to make petty snipes at me, you can do it from here.

Hmm. That's interesting, I haven't claimed to take a side, my stance was that this was drama and I plainly do not give a fuck.

I'm more interested in where my tax dollars go. I never donate to internet sites because I know that something will go wrong with it. Let's just ask the Red Cross if all that money got around to all the people they collected it for?

No, it didn't. Not all of it. Some of it went right into the Red Cross' pockets.

BG's Anthill < Red Cross' Mountain of bullshit.

If you want to get angry about something, there are A LOT of more important things to be angry about.

Using this statement, you are no longer allowed to argue with me. Why should you? YOU SHOULD BE OUT THERE YELLING AT THE REAL BAD GUYS!

What I'm saying here is: Take the words you put in my mouth and kindly shove them up your ass where they belong.

Fine Sev, I will call you lemming ass out!

There is NOTHING in that post that says you have a clue about what happened. Just hte usual, oh I heard this and will react predictably.

Oh and as for the second line...DON"T MEAN SHIT!
I can post that the joke I just told wasn't meant to be racists. But if it is racist than that's what it is. Your post was drama. No matter what you try to do to cover it up.

And Legal Fish, believing someone who isn't the source, yeah, that is quality shit right there. Especially someone know to love to stir up trouble.

Good bye to this forum.

Good bye to this forum.

How am I a lemming? Seriously learn to debate, ready let me show you something...

Jonastb didn't read anything he heard what ffxiwiki said and believed it! OMGZ LEMMING.

Drama would have been running my mouth about all the info calling people out and making a huge discussion here. I said my peace called out no one in the thread, until you wanted to call me out. You could have said you peace but you decided to take a personal attack. You are not fully new around here you probably know if you call me out I will respond.

You don't know how to recognize looking for drama post and a simple opinion. Get some common sense and please lets have a debate if you want.

Wait so you expect the source in this case who possibly just raped the community for their work and get paid for it to be like: "Hey guyz I just fucked you over and now I'm rich lolz" Ya ok seriously that is some win if I have ever seen it.

I hate to say this but you leaving probably just move the site IQ up in terms of a group.

The correct thing would be for BRP to either drop the subject or deal with it here rather than harrassing Omgwtfbqqkitten about a thread here on another forum.

After all, he knows if he pulled that kind of a stunt here he would get in trouble with the mods, again.

Ok guys, if you can't discuss the situation like rational adults, then I'm going to lock the thread.

Do not insult or flame each other.

Re: Why I don't donate... The ffxiclopedia fraud.

.... first off Legal Fish..... when you have been treated like I have all your school life... you tend to turn out very...well... anti social. When I got out of HS I was happy that I was away from the hell, not that I was a grad......

now can we lock this POS thread before more retarded BS happens.....


A company could not pay for expenses..... they do the only thing they can do, sell. Its plain and simple, get over it!

Boycotting a website, because they had to bail out, how mature you are.....
