farglebargle -> RedState.com -- Ripping off Users.. (1/7/2008 1:10:03 PM)
|
Redstate's parent company had 8.3 Million in sales last year, and they're crying poverty.
First they were on SCOOP... They complained about scaling problems...
quote:
If we’d been a liberal website, we would have been able to fix the problem quickly and relatively cheaply. The online left loves Scoop. Unfortunately, there weren’t really any conservative Scoop developers out there to help us. We kept crashing and were out of money. We had to close down or take drastic action.
Actually, if they'd been COMPETENT they would have been able to fix the problem quickly and relatively cheaply. ( e.g.: All they needed to do is pick up the phone, and my company, among others have no problems supporting Scoop. ) Of course, that's only needed if they don't have competent staff in the first place.
Technology is No Place For Wimps.
No-one out there jacked up their rates when they heard it was RedState.Com on the phone... ( I only do that for the Military, under the special "Government" rate scale. )
Now they're on Drupal... They're complaining of scaling problems.
And they want 25,000 from the users to move to Django.
Given the historical incompetence of these guys, I'd suggest they deliver FIRST before passing round the hat...
