10/18 - The Secret of Monkey Island Tuesday!

[Kat8mouse]

My little buddy here, unfortunately passed unexpectedly last night suddenly. So hard to say to a furry little friend, because he is part of my little family. I can barely look at the screen today as it burns from him passing. Guess I just need to vent a little here. Thanks for listening crowd

Awwww -- I'm so sorry for your loss

Not sure what happened to the original owner, but nathan is well known as a very shady online aggregator always operating in a grey area. I bet he thought he could take advantage of the userbase for both personal crowd work and the small donation revenue, when nobody wanted to do his crap aggregate work he bailed. Looks like he is getting a pretty good return on his initial investment.

Pretty sure $350 is in the range it originally sold at.

Most of them do ^_^ It makes me a bit sad to see how MTG is going to end up.

It's not too bad. I got an admin on flippa to look at the comments and they agreed that he was censoring valuable information to potential buyers, so they undeleted them and made it so he can't delete them again. He can delete new ones of course, but not the old.

I think he was confused. I put one bid in when it was first open for $51, which was WELL under the reserve and I knew it, just thought it'd be a lark if I got it. After he banned me, he went on MTG to brag about it, and say that the forum will "never go to that loser" (referring to me) and that it's pointless for me to keep bidding on it. Apparently he can't see who the bidders are, and thinks I'm just sitting there bidding it up. The only reason I bid $51 is because I apparently made a typo typing $5 XD

Whatever. Their loss. They won't get notified about the hits (unless someone else posts it there).

Are people still using prolific? I used to use it but it's been about a year now I guess. What's the chrome extension that notifies you when the page changes and you have a study available?

The original owner is still around places. He pops into IRC every once in a while.

He's definitely getting a good return, he paid $350, apparently made a profit every month he's owned it, and has set his reserve in the thousands.

Not gonna go more into it though out of respect for the mods here and to keep interforum drama to a minimum.

Thats great that they put your comments back! Bet that is pissing him off. I feel bad for the few decent community members still there.. I hope that a turker does buy the forum, and not another flipper.

To avoid and deter future bad results anybody who worked on the project is receiving a hard block we apologize for the inconvenience"
