Hey, while researching to see if the TW survey is making its way out there, I came across a recent blog entry on Myspace from an account called bbses.
http://www.technorati.com/blogs/http%3A ... om%2Fbbses
Anyway, this guy basically accused me of contracting someone to do some work for me and then pulling the plug on him or her. Not too sure of the details. But he's pretty disparaging. I'm curious if anyone knows who this is? It's frustrating to have someone attacking you and be unable to respond. I'd actually like to know who he's referring to so I can address the situation. But when I posted a comment to his blog, he deleted the comment and closed it to public viewing. When I sent a message, his response was simply "everyone hates you". I'm guessing it's someone who was banned from this forum. Anyone have an idea who?

Sorry, is not anybody I know, that person is much too much of a neomaxizoomdwebee, to associate with! I would love to speculate though, it would be pretty interesting to have everybody take a vote and see how many think who the top five could possibly be; though that might be to counter productive, although would still be much fun! BTW, not everybody hates you, only doobie-heads hate you! ROFLOL! [;)]

Well, I can understand why some players hate me  But this guys seems to be talking about a "friend", or someone who worked with me, that I shafted. It's bugging me trying to figure out who

I wish I knew, I don't like someone giving the game and developer a bad rep cause they are ticked off at them for whatever reason. I know of very few people that were banned from the forums, and know that a couple of former mods have left. But to my knowlege, none have stressed any bad things about the new project. About the forums maybe, but not the new project.I will do a search to see what I can come up with and also get the current admin to look into the banned people as well.
I wish I could get to read the full blog, to see if there are any clues to who it may be that the blogger is talking about.

The only profile say he is a 29 yo male from Wisconsin. Doesn't really sound like anyone Ive read about in the last 5 year here. Best advice is don't let it get under your skin. Everyone has their critics. Of course you could always get him shut down for libelous remarks.

Yeah, I didn't bother saving the content of his rant. I could paraphrase, but that's not much use.
Here's the actual myspace account:

You're definitely right. It's just that I figure there's someone out there I owe an apology. It's true I've had a number of little projects that hit the skids. But I didn't think I'd caused anyone any major grief.

Oh come on JP- you know this community is full of whiners.
That's half the fun of TW!
The other half is is podding the whiners...
As for major grief- grief is in the eye of the beholder. All we can do is try our best and not worry what others have to say.

Not knowing anything about myspace.com, is it possible to view this person's friends sites in hopes of them having a pic of him on their "friends" list? This would probably be close to the odds of winning the lottery by finding a pic of someone you recognize.

Myspace only shows the pic you have on your page in the friends section.
