Come Dec.17, I won't be renewing at inner machine, but I still have BlakBlnBliss until April because of my failed attempt to get more BB questions answered with a second username...Just wanted to let you guys know...

Why aren't you renewing?

I think it's because there's no point in having two when the other account is still active until April.

I think that some people are treated differently than others over there by the mods and Goo staff depending on who they are and if they speak out or not...I'm no angel, but I won't tolerate that blatant disrespect by the staff... I also don't think I'll ever get another question answered (at least one that I really want them to answer) I have always thought the Q and A's were the best part of that place but their obvious staff planted questions and favoritism has soured the experience... Besides, there are so many good boards out there with info and pictures that I find the IM boards kind of pointless... I did like all the exclusive song clips, but I think that's over now, and who knows when the new album will be out... I may as well get some of my money's worth out of BlakBlnBliss...

Yeah. I'm actually surprised that they'd let some of those questions slip through. It almost seems like they're purposely cherry-picking for the dumbest questions. Hell, I'm surprised whenever a good one comes through.

I'm just happy when it's an actual member getting one answered these days...

That too. Well, whenever I recognize a name from the boards.

Well, anyway I'm not implying that most are planted questions by the staff, but there are some in there like xenew (Sept 2009) and shulkid from Aug 2009...shulkid ...lol...remind anyone of Schulmeister as in Brian Schulmeister?...Check the member list...They are not there...
Anyway, I'm just not having fun there anymore, so why should I pay for that? Also, it has begun to infect how I feel about the Goo Goo Dolls, and I never wanted that, but it's sometimes hard to separate the two...I'm leaving before it gets any worse...Sorry about the mini rant but it feels good to be able to express myself openly without getting nasty PMs...

Wow, you've been getting nasty PMs over there? Boo on them.
(please correct me if I'm wrong though.)

Wow, you've been getting nasty PMs over there? Boo on them. (please correct me if I'm wrong though.) From the fucking mods! Somehow I got blamed for other people calling me a fucking idiot and loser in the Twilight thread after I tried to get it resolved by contacting the staff several times...They deleted the post like 3 days later, but if it would have been anyone else they would have gotten their asses in gear much earlier...They left it up for everyone to see for a good long time sending a very clear message...Fuck them...I don't care anymore...I'm not going to be spending any money in their Goo store either, whenever it opens...

Ah, that sucks. I've had that happen to me on AG. Which is why I barely post there anymore.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that...I think some people take their jobs as mods far too seriously and they think it gives them the right to tell people off in private messages...I'm glad this place is not like that... Another thing about the IM is that certain people will never, ever get a meet and greet even if they try 10, 15 or 20 times...And this has been going on since 2006...It's not cause they're crazy or anything, it's just because they are too outspoken, and staff won't give them the pleasure of meeting the people they really want to meet at least once...The same names get passed over time and time again...

It's hard to imagine what's happening behind the curtains of the website.. but I understand why you feel this way, if you've had that many bad experiences. Btw I can almost never come up with a question and I had mine answered by John once, so if you want I can ask the question for you. Just let me know what you'd like to know. Or do you care more that it's your question being answered rather then what that question is? Because then I can't help you.

That place does get a little wild sometimes and I never ever have questions answered. Hell I don't even try anymore.
