Today the WoW admin Azuarc posted a request for new guides on the WoW forum. Since most of them have become outdated with the release of patch 2.0 and the release of the Burning Crusade.

I took a second to point out that I would no longer be writing guides for Allakhazam because the whole dynamic of the site changed the minute they sold it. I felt that my guides were no longer going to provide more content to help the MMO community but rather to a business that would use them as a means to attract more customers. I personally feel that writing a guide for alla's is no longer pro bono work meant to help others anymore but is still being dressed up in those clothing in order to gain further guides.

I simply stated that since Allakhazam claims ownership of a guide (the minute you allow them to use it as a guide whether you are aware of this fact or not), and also since knowledge is their bread and butter used to increase traffic flow/ad revenue and premium subscriptions that submitters should be compensated for their work, since writing a guide is in fact work.

Whether that compensation be through straight cash money, free premium subscriptions or even something less tangible such as custom titles that the guide writers should be paid for their work since Allakhazam is in fact profiting off it.


I took a second to make a somewhat articulate post rather than my usual sobbing wet emotional troll angle, they still nuked my post and any post relating to my post.

Twats.

Why do we not yet have a tinfoil hat smiley?

As usual, find me a good one and I'll consider it.

Custom Name (much like E_odus Eater of Cheese) but without the suck would be great!
