Talk about a tough crowd to please! I didn't think people could get this upset because a website, costing less than $2.50/month, was unable to undo the sabotage by former employees within a period amounting to less than a 12 oz draft at the neighborhood bar.
But the mob is out with their torches (for the Brits that's a piece of resinous wood with a flame at the end...not a flashlight) and pitchforks, asking for someones, anyone's, head.
An outsider to RedClouds would take one look at the site and scratch their head...why are the members pissed off about a a few bucks when the website provides absolutely no content? The very day the site is up a small but vocal minority demands full functionality and complains about the lack of new content. They expected the staff to have collected new contris while sorting the mess out? Yup! Instead of being pleased with signs of progress, which they had been demanding, they up the ante like a player who had just drawn to an inside straight. They can't be pleased.
But what the outsider sees is a veritable gold mine. Those hotheads are complaining because they want the platform back...their platform, so they can resume their daily ritual of posting and viewing and interacting on RedClouds...just the way it used to be. The proof can be seen by looking at VC...they demolished the entire site, RedClouds, VW, HC and FB, took all of the member supplied content and set up shop across the street from the smoldering rubble. But even with the distressing psychological effects of withdrawal in effect, most voyeurwebbers have chosen to stay with RedClouds and VoyeurWeb, and that is the drive behind the demands made on the VW staff.
Irrational to the outsider, perhaps, and confounding to the schemers waiting for their pot of gold as they dangle VC like a shiny VW lure. But have they even sold one membership? Maybe this little exercise will someday be the subject of a business school lecture.
