One thing that I caught :
Quote:oauncensored (12:49:44 AM): so if the staff disagreed with something the show demanded you do, you would tell them you won't do it?
Wackbag (12:51:09 AM): why do you think the show would demand anything of us? they have never talked to us in any way on how the board is run or the content of it
This is a flat out lie. I know for a fact that when Opie's pop died in that car accident, Steve C. specifically called on each site and asked them NOT to allow any postings of it (temporarily), since Opie claimed to "not want to read about it on any of the sites" at the time. I guess Opie grieves by reading the message boards hrug:
The news filtered down from various radio sites early in the day, and the posts started on WB. Suddenly, they disappeared and all threads afterwards magically disappeared as well. There were posts on .Net as well, and Steve C. also requested that they not be allowed "out of respect for the show" - but his request was denied. Despite Steve saying "it was cool, no worries", it seemed to turn the show off to .Net - moreso than usual, since .Net doesn't run the site in quite the same manner as WB.
Mind you, the posts were all "OMG Opie, I'm sorry - GODSPEED" crap, but the point is the show absolutely makes requests - most are low-key, some are just direct & to the point. He knows if he doesn't cater to the show, his plugs go bye-bye, and he'll probably have to cough up more $$ to get them back.
The more things change...the more they stay the same...maybe if more women posted WOW pics, there'd be a lot less drama.
There are four kinds of people in this world: cretins, fools, morons, and lunatics.
