What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?

[MapleDots]

I'm catching the tail end of this, seems to be some kind of controversy...

Must be something odd to evoke this type of a response from one of our members.

 

[Rob Monster]

I just want to share that my faith in public education is slowly being restored. Yes, in spite of the "common core" tragedy that arrived in the US public schools, a social studies teacher is doing a segment on ....

PROPAGANDA

I kid you not:

So my 10th grade daughter is brainstorming topics about how Propaganda was used in WWI. Well, that took about 1 second.

I was blessed with the opportunity to introduce the inquisitive daughter to our dear friend, Edward Bernays, father of modern propaganda.

His old classic is still a must-read.

Ordo ab Chao. Indeed.

The Internet remains the great leveling of the playing field for truth -- so thanks for co-creating and thanks for decentralizing.

I had an epik experience. I spent 2 hours telling Rob Monster about my plans for a search engine, which no one outside of my company and family knew, because I thought he sincerely cared and wanted to help. NOPE. Blackpill. He was just pumping me for info so he could go and launch a competing search engine, which he did. Stupid me. So gullible. That is just one reason why I don't trust Rob Monster.

Godaddy never did that to me.

I guess GoDaddy never had a chance since you didn't tell them about your plans. Sorry, I can't comment on the matter since I wasn't privy to the conversation either.

You just did comment on the matter. The point is that I would never use epik because rob has desire to do other things than primary biz. imagine the potential problems with having a competitor control your domain name and hosting. It is ridiculous for epik to be so greedy and foolish. What I said is true.

I can say with confidence that Derek is both a liar and a mean-spirited troll with a bizarre tendency to lay claim to the achievements of others when his own are remarkably few and far between. Whatever spirit inspires him to post his nonsense, I bind it in Jesus' name, and invite others so inclined to do the same. The man claims to be a Christian. Dunno.

 

[Derek Peterson]

WOW! Calling me a liar. Here is a link to your search engine Rob. https://toki.com/ Is that not your website Rob? Did I not spend hours telling you of my plans to build a search engine before you launched your search engine? Here is a link to my search engine. https://gorf.com/ How exactly am i lying. Would you like to take that comment back or should I post some harder evidence of your dishonesty?

Also, you seem to have forgotten to add in credit for the open source guys that you stole your search engine from. You are only one taking credit for others' work. Just like you did with your VPN and DDOS scams.

I will be moving my domains for sure. Starting tonight.

@Rob Monster Give us a discount code for the moves!

I think it would be smart to get some of those aged domains into their stream with a discount code.

Well, it would be bad form to announce a promo in this thread. As you know, Epik promos are covered in another thread. However, if 30 folks like Larry's post, we'll announce one in the other thread.

but for me: I use it as exactly that

Most people actively block the JS used by Google Analytics (hard to tell if GA stats are accurate). The Server Side stats requires a regular tune-up ... but the result is still better than GA.

so you say
because
"most people" block the java script that is used by G Analytics

its no tracking tool?

I don't block it
and I see quite a few people not using it in my G Analytics

( I use G Analytics to track my visitors )

 

[Lox]

It is.
For you: it will tell you how your site is performing +/- .
For visitors: it will accurately track the IP (node) activity for everything and + personal behavior ... constantly.
