I would love to see if they even took the time to develop a business plan before they started all of this. I seriously doubt that they did... To get any kind of financing, they would have to at least have a path and I doubt they even have one at this point.
Ditto for the plot line.

I'd love to write them a business plan. I thought about it all last night! I used to teach Enterpreneurship at a Community College and have seen my fair share of business plans. I'd make them all equal partners, even Jessica and Yousef!
I was figuring that if they have a donate button, perhaps they could offer "extras" for those who donate at least $10. Extras could be DVD filler material, on-location photos, and maybe even a private message board where M and M actually participate as themselves to answer questions. In addition to merchandise sales, I can see them making a lot off of voluntary contributions.

There is something fishy about this whole thing. And when something is suspicious do you think the problem is with the individual (Yousef) or the organization (Creators & Co.)? In my opinion the problem is with the Creators. I wish we could hear more from Yousef, but it really appears they were planning on rolling back Yousef to an almost non-character, but because of the uproar which made it clear it'd be impossible for them to function on without him with all the uproar they changed their tune. I mean something OBVIOUSLY happened, their claim that everything is the same and that this was just a rumor is ridiculous, we all saw what Yousef wrote, SOMETHING had happened. For them to chide us for believing rumors, despite the fact they were started by someone who was one of the only ones truly in the place to know, was a litle insulting. Funny how it went from no, we're keeping Yousef, it's just that we're broke and maxed out all our credit cards, etc. Anyone find the suspicious? Was it really them trying to say "you want Yousef to stay? Well we need money!" The whole "all our credit cards are maxxed out" seemed a little bit too much like a sob story, if they are really going broke why suddenly take on these new staff members? They certainly do need money, no doubt, but this whole incident really seems more like some sort of ploy than just a misunderstood rumor like they portray.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall when this all went down!

Seeing the fan backlash last night and today was truly amazing. Why do we care so much? But we do. - a "Fired People" category got created. (Grant was in it, as was 'cassie is watching', i'm sure Yousef was too.) Is there any way to clear all traces of that old "Fired People" category out completely? It's still possible to get to traces of that nonsense through savvy websearching, and it's a bit unfair that people went haring off and kept throwing Grant in among the list of allegedly "fired" people without thinking about all the implications of the googlecache.

It's impossible to delete historical Wiki content unless the Wiki is hosted on a Web site you own.
But, I don't see why it should be expunged from the Wiki. The fact is, it's still in the Candace Murphy archives, and it did happen, so there's no sense trying to whitewash the Wiki.

Ah, nothing to be done then. I wasn't referring to the Candace Murphy stuff -- one rolls with the punches after doing something like that. I was just specifically referring to the "firing" business from when LGPedia was so gleefully vandalized by parties unknown.
