Braden Pollock Steps Down from Epik BoD

[EJS]

In a tweet this evening, Braden Pollock announced that he resigned from the Epik board because he and Rob Monster “don’t share the same ideology“. Braden invested in Epik in 2011 and has been on the company's Board of Directors since then:

You dont need to dig far to see Epik support for hate. Here Gab.com post by Epik engineer proud of hosting Gab and building tools to help hate speech.

Dont take some liberal wikipedia description of Gab as your definition. GO READ what people post on there. The news is full of far right conspiracy theorists, racists, bigots.

Here's rob talking about how they working to make sure all the "free speech" can go on at all times. Who he talking to? Haters and racists. Hes not going onto Black forums, onto Muslim forums, onto Jewish forums. Just a forum mostly full of people who hate.

Dont believe me? Here a typical response from the hate-ful people on Gab in response to one of the many posts Rob has made there while socializing and doing businiess

That makes my skin crawl. These people say things that are deplorable,.

Oh wait....it not just those people, its the people who work at Epik too

8chan is a hot bed for white supremacism, neo-Nazism, the alt-right, racism and anti-Semitism, hate crimes, and multiple mass shootings.

gab is a hot bed for white supremacism, neo-Nazism, the alt-right, racism and anti-Semitism.

Choose the company you keep. clearly Braden doesn't wnat to keep company with Rob Monster any longer.

As long as Epik is headed by Rob and they keep the lowest domain pricing for investors and they keep on not charging for privacy the vast majority of my names will remain there.

if that all you care about, good f-ing luck to you in life. i hope you and monster are happy together.

At one time Epik was going to take over Undeveloped, but they went separate ways

most people have too much class to talk details. that's not how business done. reza and pollock are class acts.

Thank you!

Epik’s dot com renewals are not the lowest by any means anyway. I’ve offered Rob Monster my prices at DynaDot and Rob Monster has admitted he cannot match them. DD domain privacy is free. I have about 1500 domains.

We will never know what happened behind closed doors...and I don't really care.

Apparently not behind closed doors, somebody informed me during Cygers show a epik person shouted "fuck em" in relation to something

this was probably the straw that broke the camels back for Braden. That's me reading between the lines

I'm pretty certain Bradens decision was strictly business. I once left a partnership because I felt strongly that the company was heading in the wrong direction.

I've met Braden for coffee as our offices are very close, and he is a cool cat. We talked for hours. I'm sure he wouldn't do anything for any reason other than his own determination that he needed to move on.

That's surprising. I'm catching up on those shows now and I'm currently listening to the May 15th episode. Obviously, this is prior to what's happening now but Rob is on and everyone seems pretty friendly and respectful to him and vice versa.

100% disagree with this part, the tweets back with "standing up for what you believe in." The context could not be clearer IMO

Horrible. And should this be a reflection of Epik's corporate norms, then doubly sad. An eye-opener. Thanks.

This is what people in marketing would call "on-brand"

Well, now that I've thought about it, it would be interesting to hear all sides of this event.

There's nothing to be said from either side. It's pretty clear, Not too dissimilar from the Franklin Templeton incident if the culprit didn't go, the funds, investment + clients would of left.

Black and White for the most part

That is a pretty classless, racist tweet.

If it was supposed to be funny, it certainly is not. It is just racist.

The internet does not forget. It is a problem Rob will always have an issue with.
The things he has said and done in the past are there for all to see.

I am always looking for better pricing...can you share your rate publicly? I wonder if Bradens leaving has anything to do with pricing/operational issues or was it more of a personal thing.

I think it's interesting to point out that this user's sig linked to dailystormer a few hours ago, mods were alerted and didn't want to take any action because the link had already been edited (There's no way for mods to look at edit history on sigs?).

This user follows up with a post saying that a racist tweet is a good reason to support a business. Mods are totally cool with that too, refusing to take any action on pro-racism posts on their forum.

I guess it's open season, Charizard. Your behavior is welcome here, mods are aware and they're perfectly okay with it. I bet you could get away with posting the 14 words and "DESPITE..." memes at this rate, as long as it's in the context of "heated debate!!!1!!!11"

The real canary in the coal mine is if this post gets removed or not.

It is called freedom of speech, something that Rob stands for.

I took a look at a reverse image search for Charizard's profile pic. Here is what you see -

Good Lord....A Franken-Ni**er... - Ni**ermania Forum ...

Ni**ermania MugShot Gallery

Nestless sow of six now has five - Chimpmania

Africoon crowned "ugliest *****r" needs gibs-me - Chimpmania

This is blatantly racist. Are you really going to allow this NamePros mods?
