The end of Flowerpod due to a scumbag
January 02, 2006
Geline stated in spree thread (feedback forum) that there's one podder with 80% warning with 3 clone accounts. DJ immediately concluded it has to be MiniVV and banned her, without allowing her to explain herself. Alot of podders were very unhappy with his decision. Geline came in and clarified that she was wasn't referring to minivv. Podders asked DJ to apologize to minivv for wrongly banning her. Under pressure, he lifted her ban, but he said he wanted to ban geline instead for lying. He said there's only one person in fp with more than 80% warning and that's minivv, so if geline isn't referring to minivv, then she must be lying! He gave geline 1 hour to appear in fp and clarify who she was referring to. If geline doesn't clarify within that hour, he will ban her instead. Geline didn't appear. Podders argued that geline could have logged off and is sleeping already. DJ earlier stated that he has the means to find out who holds clone accounts, so podders were asking him to use his own means to find out, no need ask geline.
In the meanwhile, someone started another thread questioning the podder card and the amt of fund that has been collected, and if it is enough to sustain fp. DJ said the response rate was very bad, and if that's the case, he wants to make fp into a paid subscription site in June. Questions about accountability of funds came out, someone reminded that if there's no transparency, fp is being run like NKF, one-man show. One mod kintra came out to admit she doesn't know any details about the funds collected, only DJ knows everything that's going on. One podder ask him if he would like to step down as a volunteer since he was complaining that he has to spend alot of "voluntary" effort in fp. He said he has no intention to, especially after making his wife and family understand why he has to spend so much time and effort in fp. Another podder pointed out that if every member is made to buy the podder card, the amount collected would be $150,000, an amount not many can even earn in 5 years. DJ pointed out that he can make that amt in 1 year. That his cybercafe alone is making $10,000 per mth, excluding retail and servicing computers. Then the podder pointed out that since he earns that much, $500 per mth for server charges should not put a dent in his pocket. DJ said, why should he pay since fp is not his brainchild! blah blah...geline is banned Next day, fp taken offline, both threads deleted, spree thread evidence deleted.
This is a warning to all podders to the scenes behind the running of Flowerpod. Many of us, including moderators, have since boycotted FP and have started a new forum called Les Dames at http://lesdames.proboards79.com/index.cgi
This forum will be managed by former sensible and responsible moderators of FP.
will update more....
