Everyone is quick to judge on the face value of what they see, this thread being a prime example of that.
And there's a very good reason for that. If ColoCrossing isn't going to be transparent about their business, then people are going to fill in the blanks. The very simple solution is to
stop being shady fucks. You can only control the narrative if it's a honest narrative.
Moderators come along and want to influence many of the things that so many of you say is wrong with LET but have been prevented/discouraged from doing so because change is viewed as an ugly, unworkable notion.
And from what little has come out of the staff team over at LET in the past, that discouragement and prevention largely originated from ColoCrossing and, before that, Chief. Not enough access to services, etc.
I have said it before and I will say it again, CC have never in my view forced the way in which LET is moderated or run, decisions made ultimately lie with the admins and moderators where they are right or wrong.
And the main administrator receives a paycheck from CC. That is a
giant conflict of interest, and will make him try to avoid conflicts with CC to ensure an income, whether he realizes it or not. CC absolutely
does control LET, and have done so since they quietly and secretly acquired it.
As I always say at the end of threads like this over here, the old LET has gone, stop hanging on to the idea of a site where the principles/foundations it was built on are long gone, the time to reminisce has long since past, nobody writes about what you can do with a tiny VPS any more.
Then stop trying to present it as a "community", because it isn't one. It's a billboard.
Both sites were gong to end up being sold by chief for the best money he could get, so this was all going to happen whether people wanted it or not.
Ah yes, the good old "it was inevitable anyway" argument, which has never done anything for the better.
Because clearly, as a community you should just pack up your shit and disband, if somebody throws water in your sandbox. No point letting the sand dry and kicking out the rogue kid.
