My First (And Only) B-Site Discussion / myLot

While news of the demise of the other site fills me with indifference (they really aren't worth any emotional investment) I am surprised that many people are so annoyed that there has been no pronouncement from the owners. Really? You think that would have achieved anything? Here is how I imagine Arvind would have announced the closure of the site. "Endings! Are they really the end or just beginnings in disguise? After all aren't we all in disguise to some extent? In life it is sometimes necessary to don the mask of acceptability in order to achieve one's desired ends. Sadly, as with so much in life, the performance becomes tiring. The mask slips offering a brief glimpse of the reality behind. Only the astute perceive the meaning of the fleeting exposure of truth. But what is truth? We all perceive truth in our own way. Who's to say who's truth is real truth. One man's truth is another man's web of deceit. Deceit and truth. Two sides of the same coin. Remember those? Coins! Didn't think so!!"

LOL. Nice one. I love this post. Yep, that's about how he would have said something in a post about B going away. A real line of bull S as he always did. Well, it's gone and we now move on from there.

@WorDazza ha-ha, that was the best arvind impression ever! I am laughing pretty good! It is defiantly time to let the bubble pop and move on, but I appreciate the laugh.

Now there is one writer I will NOT miss. Starting a site for people to write on and then driveling on was evidence of a puffed up ego. Arvindfs posts were often just nonsense.

Makes you wonder if the only reason he started the site was to get a ready made audience for his nonsense!!

Arvind has a big ego and I cannot imagine him writing about the shut down of his "dream".

Wonderful! Should be featured! :-) Now that Saint Arvind doesn't have the bubblews audience to preach to any more I see him standing at street corners molesting the passers-by. I can't imagine him keeping a lid on his profound insights.

I would have been hurt if you'd suggested it was worse than an Arvind offering

Somehow I could imagine Arvind posting that. It's really so him -- full of big words and cryptic messages with absolutely no meaning at all. Love it.

What do you mean, no meaning? That's top quality philosophy that is

That's good, I like that/ Even though I was so close to cashing out. Just over $4 away. It took over a year or more to get to that point. They had a good thing going, then they got greedy and stupid. Not that there weren't some people who were just as dishonest toward Bubblews. I think the simple thing to do, would have been to allow only five posts a day, and I'm sure there is software somewhere that will detect suspicious activities. If there isn't why doesn't somebody write something to do that. I would think there would be a number of computer wizards out there in the world that would jump at the chance to create a program like that. I believe they let there early success go to their heads, and they screwed the pooch on their running of the site.

I honestly believe it was all a bit of a power trip for one or two of them. Unfortunately they didn't give any real thought to the people they screwed over while they were playing their games!
