Tony tells me they banned Steve Lightspeed... I guess it was the flexing of the street cred.
Ive seen people trying to get back in the biz there looking to be thrown a bone and the battle lines being drawn.

Raffi from World Wide Content being in those threads I think is the most amusing thing I saw. Its obvious he was able to cut a few licensing deals.
Of course history tell us that hes not beyond trying to take a site he doesnt own and selling it off to Platinum Bucks.

Victoria Givens says hi Raffi!

Actually Steve Lightspeed got booted for the same reason most of us do, actually linking to another webmaster board. It brings the hypocrisy into a fine light, it is acceptable to take money from a company that had made it's bones "borrowing" content from everyone else, but it is somehow wrong to admit there are other webmaster boards?

Someone in a better position than I needs to get AVN and Xbiz to run "Playboy supports content theft" pieces, get the word out there. Perhaps even the mainstream media might pick up on it (bad for playboy stock?)

Ive blogged here about it. Ive also started to tip off some of my media contacts as well. Well see how slow news is these days.

Other webmaster boards?

Never heard of such a thing.
