Does Mikey really care? Don't think so...

[tenkani]

Great thread. Now I know what all the fuss is about.

Try not to let it get to you though.

When you flame Mike, the terrorists win.

[Lise]

It's hard to feel any pity for someone who should have seen this coming for years. Still... you're right, he's probably been flamed enough.

  I wash my hands off Mike and DV's downhill reputation. As far as I'm concern, they both deserve each other.

[tenkani]

No, he deserves much worse.
I just meant that he's not worth upsetting yourself over.
His opinion about you, purelife and anything else isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
 

[Lise]

I'm not upset over Mike, tenkani. In fact with everything that's going on, you could say.... I'm watching a comedy unfold. (tasteless though it is)

  Que sera sera.

[TFF]

So how come tenkani went back to being a DV mod (Howlin Mod Murphy) if he dislikes Mike that much?

 After being outed he changed his nick.

[raor.kitten]

 who is tenkani on dv now?  inquiring minds want to know  

[Lise]

Dunno and don't really care at this point any more.

  We should really just close the book on DV forever. It's all good gossip but it stinks and rots over time. Kinda leaves a bad taste in one's mouth.

[Moolah!]

A short while back, mods were adamantly defending the position that DV didn't make any money at all, and this was just a hobby pursuit for mikey, while I told them point blank that they were being taken for a ride.



Apparently it was none other than mikey himself who had told them that they weren't making any money.



I told them they were being lied to, and that DV was taking advantage of their good will by using their time and energy with no compesation. (And that they should demand payment for their efforts.)





Now check out the terms of mikey's latest job offer for a web developer:

Pay particular attention to the compensation/revenue sharing scheme:

 "To discourage employees and encourage entrepreneurs, this job would start at a base of $24,000 per year base with the ability to make $60k + quite easily via revenue share.  Over time, if you can help build this site out to be a shining model for Vancouver media to be proud of, you could eventually make well over $100,000 per year."

Put 2 and 2 together: If DV wasn't making any money, he wouldn't be throwing around numbers like "quite easily 60K" and possibly "well over 100K".

But hey, people only hear what they want to hear...

[Lise]

LOL. Ah, classic. I wonder if he did fired the person who's supposed to babysit DV. Ah well, not our problem. Good luck finding a monkey to pin the blame on you.

Wanna take a gander at who Mike is?  And whatdaya know... the magick number "13" for moderators. Someone sure can count.  

[TheAngel]

Lol, "13".   That's too cute!

   Happening more and more frequently lately. I don't know if they're running some sort of a script in the background, or their server is about to bite the dust, or they simply can't handle the access requests but currently the access is really slow.



Sometimes you can't even access the main page.

Individual threads are taking ages to load...
