Gene "Dot Com" Williams is feeling the heat 247

  • Apparently he is going to start listening to his customers. A BUNCH of subscribers must have dumped his ass after NSD roflmao cause I doubt he would just start after more than a decade of not doing so

  • That was a whole lot of text to say that they won't be doing anything other than banning more people.

  • ha ha true, but it was an acknowledgement that the people on his site are customers. Im surprised that his fingers didnt break when he typed that.

  • Man. It sounds like he is making it worse!

  • Clicking that link was the first time I've been over there in awhile. Amazing how terrible Rivals mobile site is. Yuck.

    GO NOLES!

  • I don't want this to get out of hand but there are so many things wrong with that post. Keep in mind I do not work for 247. A few observations-

    1. Why did he have UCLA post it?
    2. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Yeah, I'm sure that applies here. Truth is, the feedback probably came from loyalist butt smoochers who would never leave.
    3. Absolutely nothing in that novela addressed quality/content/truth control. While I think their banning practices are sketchy, they certainly could stand to control the maturity level of the posters and discussions, but the reason I left was substance.

    Whatever, I'm happy right here.

    +1.

    I still have a few friends over there, and some of their offerings are worth a look imo. But, I spend the majority of my time here, for the reasons I like most of the people here and the honesty with which this place is managed.

    I ain't lookin' for perfection, but at least tell me what is your guess and what is real that you bring.

  • The thing that gets me is that with his subscription base, he still gets access to things that he probably wouldn't if it weren't for his reach. Get your friends to come over here. Stat.

    'Shekin da bushis baws, shekin' dem bushis!

    It's an oft told tale. Company offers an excellent good/service/content for a reasonable price. Consuming public recognizes such and flocks in to take advantage of the offering. Company grows very rapidly and outstrips it's ability to maintain control of quality of offering. Inevitable drop off in customer satisfaction occurs, and some of buying base seeks other companies from which to purchase.

    I see this every day in the business community, and even in my client base. No matter how much we coach them, some small companies just see the almighty dollar and grab that cash without ramping up service fast enough to field the extra business! Ultimately to their longer-term detriment.

    If I see that start to happen here......well........I'm gonna get tore in but good boyo! Don't see that on the horizon though - yet.

  • I left WC years ago, not surprised so many so tired of their (namely his) BS. Got banned on the political board for making political posts that weren't toe-the-line-PC type. Never could understand how they maintained such a large sub base w/ the way they treated people as nearly all of their mods, esp. the deceased one, were over the top a-holes.

  • i think the problem with these boards is B/W you have a % of people who want everything moderated, rivals shouldn't be able to say anything that is not completely flattering, etc, etc.

    Then you have the other side (where I fall) in which I want the fiery debate (sans personal insults), I expect a gator to come here and slam our schedule, I welcome it, because there are 100 things we can slam them back on as well, its all in fun, the problems arise when people get emotional...TAKE THE EMOTION OUT.

    This is supposed to be fun, and not "Rah Rah Go Noles" 24/7 ( no pun intended).

    You? Piss off someone on a political board?

    I find that very hard to believe.

    I have no idea what you just said.

  • If only more people could shed the cloak of false loyalty to that site, and come over here where things are beyond grand.......

    They really don't know how utterly bad it is over there.

    <-------Glad to be here.

  • That was a bunch of words that said nothing. I love the fact that at the end he says that he gets rid of people every year even though they didn't break the rules. Smart business decision. You are going to have people who think warchant is the best out there, no matter what. If people would take out the loyalty and just look at which is the better product; this site wins hands down.

  • Yeap, the 500 Mods over there have gone bonkers and everyone is pissed. They run the only Smack board I've ever seen, that rivals aren't allowed to post on. What's even worse, is the Gator Mods run half the boards over there now. After 4+ years of that, I had enough. Word is out about this site and it is going to really take off this next year imo. I've got several cool buddies that will joining this Site when their Sub is up...

    2. Not entirely true Laura. I gave my 2 cents and a moon at Gene without invoking the ban hammer and so did some others I know that are very tired of his crap. He proceeded to delete that thread as it no longer exists because there was even a hint of dissatisfaction.

    He should take that advice or his boards which are his only real feature of worth are going to be boring and useless very soon. Pretty funny that he even censored the suggestions and feedback thread by deleting it.
