    But that doesn't change the fact that they're technically volunteers and can easily be let go of if Penton decides to replace the team with their own staff.

    Obviously, I didn't say anything about that.

    Then what was your point? I was showing the fact that they were technically volunteers and not paid by WHT to moderate the forum, regardless of whether or not they earn anything indirectly through their positions.

    $10 says bear will find my new "fake" account and ban me regardless

    I got found out the other day haha and linked them this thread via the ticket when they asked me for a Copy of my ID.

    I wonder if any of the WHT Staff will actually post on this thread?

  • Soo WHT will be peaceful for once?

    Nope, if this information is true then this thread will assist them in their demonstration. If they go public with it anywhere else, it will do even more so. This is basically announcing "Trash the forum at X time to prove that we deserve our jobs." Then, because people won't be able to resist the chance to be less than civil, they'll trash the forum at said time thus "proving" that all hell breaks loose when they're not around.

    Can't wait to see the viagra ads in the "Reseller" subforum.

    You never know penton might be able to manage it. when all hell breaks loose. And if that happens. Then they might replace the staff. I'm linking this thread to penton. I'm also trying to get in touch with the owners. To discuss several subjects with them regarding WHT.

    Bulk ordering few. Let's see how this business gonna roll. Premium Viagra with very fast results. Offered in few locations.

    Maybe so. Alternatively, this may give them the justification to boot the current team even faster. The paid team members choosing not to do their job for any period of time leaves little reason to pay them further.

  • So, what are they actually trying to achieve other than giving the new owner another reason to fire them?

    I guess they could all call in sick with Carpel tunnel.. Or the Red flu. ;)

    If they actually want to hurt the parent, they should give away free corporate memberships for a day and remove all ads. That'll send a strong signal.

    Dilly will have seen this thread and is now probably in a coma, poor kid.

    Also, I am going to go ahead and guess that the impact to revenue will be near 0 and they will just have a bigger backlog than normal to pick up the day after.

    A day will have little impact, a Month on the other hand....

  • Let's not forget that the only source we have about this demonstration so far is OP and his own sources which he cannot disclose. As far as I'm concerned this is still pure speculation.

    Dillybob is not the source this Information has come from someone else. but again given my response above you'll never find out the source. Is Dillybob not Jhonny nuggets?

    OK well I will say it then, bullshit, the ENTIRE POINT of a walk out/ demonstration is to make a 'you need us" or "look what would happen if" point, 0 publicity before hand points to 1 of 2 things, your talking shit or your source is wrong.

    That's a good point, but even if this entire demonstration were fake, what does it say about the community sentiment toward WHT mods? Yeah, not good.

    There was no point towards you. It was an informative comment based on what you said. Why would there have to be a point for you specifically?

    I can assure you the Information is correct. they are walking out on Wednesday at 9AM in the Morning. and leaving Penton to moderate it for a day.

  • jmckeag12 said: 9PM in the Morning

    What?

    Corrected my bad :)

  • @jmckeag12 said:
    So from Wednesday 9AM there will be no staff for 24 hours :)

    9AM...which time zone ?

    Viagra is needed forums-wide on WHT, would be unwise for spammers to limit their output to the reseller subforum imho

    Viagra is long dead, people are stroking their "refurbished/resealed" Macs, iPhones and maybe Nike and RayBan's.

    I'm guessing in the morning when it's their timezone?

  • But if you do something bad you just get b& the day after right?

    OCCUPY WHT!

    Oh sorry...I thought it was 2011.
