Dear Ganiman, Gahoo, Mierin, and Wikia

[Taj]

I'm not trying to rain on the parade, just saying that some form of evidence other than screenshots provided by Taj would be nice is all

What? "Ganiman" changing the entire front page of wiki to some garbage about selling out wasn't enough proof for you?

Proof that Taj has his password, which isn't really very surprising. Doesn't prove anything about the pictures he took. It's well known that Taj is remarkably good at getting passwords (possibly through exploiting Gmail? who knows), but the screenshots he posted are easily fakeable by anyone with basic knowledge of HTML and Notepad. Or did you actually say this, rather than what I quoted?

Solid proof would be a screen captured video of Taj clicking around on the Ffxiclopedia private forum, reading the private PMs and emails with the parts that back up his claim clearly visible.

They've obviously trashed all the evidence by now, are you thick?

You're a moron!

[Zilong]

and the alla people >_____> woosh. Seems like they rather have corrupt lying fucks in control rather than

You do know that IGE owns alla, right?

Actually, the company that owned IGE also owned Alla, so neither site had direct authority over the other. However, that is no longer the case anyway, but it doesn't stop the fact that Alla is still the internets greatest retard database.

Let's do some math.

I'm going to be generous. The wealth of text on FFXIcylopedia would probably span throughout a normal college text book. Now, I spend about 75~150 dollars per book/packet on textbooks each semester.

Assuming this information was printed and sold:

500,000 people

http://memorycard.blogs.com/memorycard...census.html

50 dollars per book (being generous..)

$25,000,000 USD dollars (without taxes)

This is if everyone who played FFXI bought a copy. But, you can still see that 12K is a drop in the bucket compared to 25 MILLION dollars.

Now add in the fact that this information, unlike text books, can be edited BY THE USER BASE so that it does not become out of date (like most text books do)...well that adds a whole new depth to the amount of money to be made. New text books are issued what? Every 5~7 years? That is also being generous. Seems more like 3-4 to me.

So yeah...every 5~7 years you'd be issuing the same thing with updated information at the same price and making the same amount of money.

Getting it yet? I hope so. Like I said, another hissy fit.

Yeah, some of alla poster shouldn't be allowed to breathe.

[JoOeetheplatypuS]

You can choose to believe Taj or not. He's given you enough info to decide either way.

[Churchill]

Thank you for pointing this out. Especially since it is BG we are talking about. I'd rather have ffxiclopedia in the hands of these deviant @#%^s than anyone who runs BG or is affiliated with them.

While they were a bit greedy and underhanded in the transfer process and donations, it is still nothing compared to the overwhelming elitist, presumptuous, unprofessional, and overall pompous attitudes stemming from the BG administrators much less their followers. You are joking yourself if you think the avarice displayed by FFXcylopedia's administrative/operations team is something that the BG administrative/operations team would never show or attempt. It would be the same thing...just probably amplified to the extent of being much worse than this scandal and Allakazham's IGE scandal combined.

You are also correct in stating people take information sites like this one, somepage, and FFXIcylopedia for granite. If they didn't exist you would be stuck buying the lovely 2004 Brady guide and following their instructions for everything.
.

I'm willing to bet this person has the Brady guide in all editions right next to their method of playing FFXI.

If it was photoshopped, I guess Ganiman, Gahoo, and Mierin could come and clear it up, couldn't they?

You're so big on accountability, yet you didn't think about keeping some kind of proof that took more than 60 seconds in Notepad to fake?

while alla's ability to provide neverending lulz is not to be denied... there are quite a few people who get the issue ^^;

And publicity is gewd?

Wow. Gtfo of my internets, please.

[Pikko]

I like how Alla sides with them instead of BG because BG is 'elitist'.

I like how one poster turns into all of Alla.

I'll be the first person to admit that I give people a hard fucking time but god damn if anyone implies that I kowtow to anyone's will.

As for BG wiki, as long as it doesn't look like an excerpt of hello kitty it should do fine.

ROFLMAO

Taj, I really am curious so I have to ask (although not expecting an answer ) - is it a hole in Gmail's security that's giving you access? The recent story on Slashdot over MediaDefender's email leak has me curious if their's some major security flaw that nobody is aware of - the supposed story for this was that the password "blahbob" was either used on a p2p forum or that it was derived from a dictionary attack. But now I'm not so sure

[Tricen]

Maybe Taj is the internet?

[Cairthenn]

Maybe Taj is the internet?

I see some validity to this.

[Zosi]

Seriously. Somebody clearly has something stuck up their ass.

I'm very sorry that I expect actual evidence when it comes to accusing someone of a serious criminal act rather than screenshots of someone's web browser, which I just showed are ridiculously easy to fake. Now that that's over, continue blindly believing anything you read on the internet.

[Tomiko]

Wow....

Can't wait to see Divisor nuh uh his way outta this one.
