Finally, Faces To Go With Names

I fully agree with your view.

@rebelann I still feel, if at all, I will be just as eager to see who runs any site not just this one.

Had they been honorable I would not have been so curious, but like so many of us we feel cheated and this picture only makes me feel like they intentionally dumped on us.

@rebelann It w2as certainly not either of those sources, but I am certain that I have encountered it somewhere. I am actually wondering if it was some media site that was running an article about the website.

It is a screen shot from a picture on jasons facebook page, perhaps that's where you've seen it or maybe you've been to the sweeble site, they were all over that one.

I did see it once when I searched sweeble @Asylum but there were lots of photos there showing these guys partying with all kinds of girls and celebs.

@jaboUK It was used by the Allied Troops in WWII to mean 'Victory', but nearly always with the palm outwards. Eisenhower used it this way (and Nixon copied Eisenhower) It was also adopted by 'hippies' in the '60s to mean 'peace' (originally 'end to war') - again, usually with the palm outwards. Wikipedia has an interesting article here:

Umm, the two finger sign most of them are showing actually meant peace back in the 60s and 70s but that one with the mid finger meant something entirely different and wasn't nice at all. Do you recall US President Nixon?

@rebelann I was going to say the same as you - I thought that gesture meant peace in this context. I know that it can also meam ''up yours'', but I really don't read that in this photo.

I remember that, it was up in 2013 but since 2014 they've all but disappeared.

No, we don't. I have mentioned the advantages of being a little more open about names, at least, to the owner(s) and he said that it was something worth considering but I rather gather that they prefer to be nameless (and faceless) here, which, of course, is a personal choice which is to be respected and does not in any way mean that they are less honest or open. If that photo says anything at all, it is a clear message saying "We are a bunch of insensitive oiks who don't care a f*** about you and are actually proud enough of it to show you a picture of us all giving you an exceedingly offensive hand signal!"

@owlwings but i wish they at least explained why they stopped paying because it was really a surprise even if it was taking 2 months to reach payout back then.

Well, here they haven't stabbed anyone in the back then acted as they did.

Oh that is good to know @PainsOnSlate glad it is coming back to bite em.

Well, that explains why he's dropped out of FB and on Twitter all that shows up is his lawyer. I do have to wonder how he thought he could steal someone else's website.

It was, but if I didn't feel they've been cheating so many people I wouldn't have been curious. Mylot apparently has never cheated anyone.

The only ones I've even known about are Arvind, Jason, Kevin and Tyler.

@rebelann If they are scams, they can also lie about who they are

To some degree @marguicha but when a picture such as the one above is all over the net it's unlikely they had the opportunity to fake anything. One of those young men is now being sued for theft.

Well, legit site were begun by someone and when they become less legit then people want to know who they are.

@rebelann Oh ! What a revelation !

I doubt it, I heard that Arvind is being sued for stealing, Sweeble belongs to a woman.

Yep, for whatever good it'll do anyone. At least if any of them happen to be in an area you are you could ask them face to face Watz Up with That Site of Yours.

@rebelann LOL I am sure many people would love to give their honest opinion on Forbes!!

Yep, they are. In 2012 when arvind founded bubs he was but 25. Then not too long ago jason wrote a post asking for bubers to vote for them in some kind of forbes dilly for people under 30 starting businesses but I'm guessing that didn't go over that well.

@Shellyann36 I thought it was just a stupid magazine like the rolling stone.

I doubt they had a clue, they were showing off for the cameras, you should've seen all the other photos along with this one. At the time they were claiming ownership of sweeble only to find it belonged to someone else, I've heard arvind is being sued. I'd seen pics of Arvind n Jason, but not the rest of the bubbles crew, just figured that others might get a kick outta this pic.

This was all over facebook so I simply did a screen shot, it just seemed interesting back on 11-4-2015.

You're right, I think it already has. Arvind is being sued and those riding on his shirt tails have gotten stuck in the wind.

I only recently found that out, I wonder if they are aware of this.

So you quit bubs a while back already? I guess you missed all the hoopla.

now wouldn't that be funny, but I'm betting they could use the money.

They're being sued for theft from what I've heard. Sweeble belongs to someone else.

So true and thank you, nice to meet you too.
