:I sent the note via PM to DL on WR. I'm happy, too, that Wikia came to their senses, despite Jimbo trying to frame this as (yet another) "trolling" attack from me towards him personally. I'm saddened that it appears the site will just be regenerated on some other, less-notable website. You ever notice that Larry Sanger left Jimbo? Brad Patrick left Jimbo? Florence has shown her distaste for Jimbo. I wonder how much longer Gil Penchina and Angela Beesley will be able to tolerate him. - [[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 05:15, 2 February 2008 (PST)

:: [http://www.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Spanking_art_wiki&diff=127841&oldid=127810 Oh, I see]. Damn, hosting database

:: probably will get moved somewhere.
::
::
:: I don't think this is about Jimbo
:: personally unless he wants it to be,
:: really. It seems odd to me that he
:: gets so upset over things like this.
:: In customer service, particularly
:: rude customers are often passed up
:: to management. Basically, the longer
:: someone has been working, and, more
:: importantly, the more the person is
:: paid, the more of that unpleasant
:: stuff the person is expected to be
:: able to handle. Which makes sense -
:: getting paid really does make that
:: sort of thing easier to put up with.
:: On the other hand, if I go to a
:: restaurant and pay good money so I
:: can hear the manager complain about
:: me to other customers, just because
:: I'm upset that they raised their
:: prices and then gave me half the
:: serving size they gave when I first
:: went there, I'm not leaving a tip or
:: going back there again. (I'm sure you
:: know all this, but I'm explaining my
:: reasoning.)
::
::
:: So, as a stock-holding member of
:: Wikia, Jimbo is paid quite well,
:: whereas most of the people around
:: him are not. I guess having power
:: as an administrator, with the favours
:: that go with, counts as some sort of
:: payment, more than the standard editor
:: at least, certainly more than banned
:: users, who are not only unpaid but
:: punished, but it's still not the same
:: as actual money. So, as someone paid
:: so well, he should really be taking
:: the responsibility for dealing with
:: angry people - often very justifiably
:: angry people, it should be noted - off
:: of people who aren't paid, and even
:: those who are paid less, for that
:: matter. However, if he can't even
:: deal with the ones who come to him
:: directly, I doubt many others will be
:: comfortable bringing their problems to
:: him.

:: After thinking about it, I don't think
:: pornography is GFDL-compatible. See
