I think the situation is that there are maybe two or three junior
Yahoo employees taking care of all the Yahoo groups by themselves and
they're just fucking around. The right hands don't know what the left
hands are doing, and instead of taking care of us, they're probably
playing Evercrack.
I've sent at least a dozen emails to Yahoo Customer Care and I've
never gotten a single reply to anything. I also tried telephoning
them and I spent an hour listening to looped automated telephone
menus.
On top of that, some of my guys are pretty sure that a lot of these
complaints that are killing furry groups are coming from inside the
furry community itself. I think it's fairly easy to imagine who our
number one suspect is.
Okay, besides throwing a bitch, I also want to throw out a possible
solution here.
At Furry Fight Farm, we're talking about building and running our
own server. We want to cut loose from Yahoo and run things the way we
want to. The only thing we need is finding some way to pay for all
the bandwidth. If someone can figure out how we can do that, we can
go to work.
Any ideas?
