I'm pretty disgusted with the attitudes in this thread but I'll explain to the best of my ability. I need to talk with Dave further because there are some things that should not have happened that did. For the record, Dave was on site at Toy Fair. I'm leaving it at that until I can take care of the issue as best as possible. When I have a concise answer, I'll post it.
But I do want to say this: I am sickened by the few people who are bitching, moaning, and complaining here. This site is 100% free to you. EVERYTHING we do here is because of our love and devotion to you and the hobby. I have 3 jobs. This is not one of them. This is something I do on the side. The same goes for everyone else who works here. I don't want you here if you are going to have that kind of attitude. I will go so far as to say you are not welcome here if you can not accept the fact that Toy Fair coverage didn't go through. Until you start paying me and everyone else on my staff here a weekly salary and in addition, pay all of our plane fares, food, and hotel expenses do me a favor and shut the **** up. If you don't like that- leave. Now.
This is a hobby and I am supposed to have fun here. You are supposed to have fun here. If you are not having fun here, I'm sorry. Find somewhere else to go. I will continue having fun here and we all will continue to do our best here.
Another note that needs to be made is for the people criticizing Jason; you are being ignorant because every last word in his post is only the truth. If you only knew exactly what it takes to run a site... Wow. And then to tell him he is wrong. What audacity. I think for the sake of enjoyment that we might have to start asking people to leave based on their personality and attitude. It comes down to that... if we are going to keep the quality; we have to pick and choose.
Was this a big screw-up? It sure as hell was and as I said before, I will come back and give the full story when I know it. But believe me, I have never been more disappointed in our readers and fan base than I am today.
