The information I read was in a Gaia Guld called "Get Forked," so....

[Moonless Midnight]

yeah, that was started by someone i think so that all the gaia Synners could have a place to check out updates and the like on what was happening and what had happened I think?

[Tohopekaliga]

Something like that, probably. Apparently there were a lot of random senseless bannings at the same time?

[Moonless Midnight]

Yeah I heard something about that. There was even a staff member that apparently snuck into the guild to "spy" on the members and report back to the Syn staff to ban some of them... or so I heard at one point.

Fork used website money for stuff like food and stuff on top of paying himself when he was doing nothing for the website. Essentially, stealing money. I mean he would take his 'pay' out and then still use what's left for food, hookah stuff, etc which not actually working on the website.

I thought krank did more of the senseless bannings, or her administration did, but I'm not sure either way on that.

I knew when Fork took over, it wouldn't be good, I saw what happened to Elidiun. Down for over a year for a 'revamp' and when they brought it back up? Nothing different. Then a few months later, we were told it would shut down in like a month and for half of that month the website was so broken that you couldn't do anything on it.

I knew when he got syndrone, it was the beginning of the end. He didn't kill it though, surprisingly.

(I have anger)

[Tohopekaliga]

XD that's just silly. Hunt for drama and you will surely find it.

[Moonless Midnight]

Ah yeah, that sounds about right. I only vaguely remember it having to do with how he was spending the money but couldn't remember the exact details. In all honesty there's no problem with you being really angry at Fork. Hell I was pretty pissed myself for the longest time after Syn got forked. I just ended up getting to the point where I was tired of getting mad at him/every time the situation was mentioned so eh.

[Yokuutsu]

I am a member of that Gaia guild, they deleted a lot of the stuff documenting the not so good administration. I liked reading it. It made me sad and happy at the same time, because I wanted the website to do well....but I also got screwed XD

I think part of my anger is that I did go to college for business. I know that type of stuff is not something you do....unless you are the only person. Which he was or had made it an llc or whatever....and at that point, it just feels really wrong to do what he did. Now, a sole proprietorship type business? Well, one person is taking all the risks, that if something goes wrong that they'll be sued, so then I could at least let it go with my eye twitching a bit or something.

[Tohopekaliga]

It looked like just nobody involved in administration had any idea how to actually run something.

[Yokuutsu]

That's how I see it.

krank wanted to get rid of syndrone, so Fork got it.

I mean, if I could've bought it, I would've lol

[Moonless Midnight]

Yeah I think the bottom line was that none of them knew how to run a business/site like that so it failed in the end.

[Tohopekaliga]

Also, if you're curious, Trisphee is a sole proprietorship. Revenue is much too low to reasonably be anything else. Maybe an llc, but even then, that's just needless legal fees.

[Coda]

I had actually looked into drafting up incorporation paperwork circa 2013, but no one on staff wanted to bear the responsibility of having actual board meetings to comply with the requirements. :P Also the filing fees were a bit too high (though not unreasonably so).

[ml1201]

Well, things seem to be alright here management wise, I mean besides one or two people on here who weren't stuff I haven't had any issues. .-.

[Fulkth]

It's interesting to hear what is going on on other avatar sites. Now that roliana has closed down, all I have is trisphee. XD

[Bassy]

I am limited to 2 avatar sites. I'm just on Trisphee and Windlyn and That's about as much I can keep up with on a daily basis lol. As for gaia, they should just create a new site (like what pokefarm did) and start over and get new staffing.
