Blogshares is a corrupt joke
Blogshares is a corrupt stinking and shrinking joke
Now there are only about 145 or less daily players left and the number keeps shrinking. Of those about half are the core group, the inner circle, the roled players and their friends along with another dozen or more wannabes.
Most of the roled players are either cheaters who support the power elite of the game or players who have been rewarded for their cheating because of their loyalty to the power elite. Some have silently accepted their positions because they were bribed to maintain their loyalty. Some are just stupid.
They are mainly power hungry players who either fear IslandDave and “The Architect” or who really do enjoy kissing the asses of superiors in the game. Some just don’t like to ‘rock the boat’. They don’t care if the game is fair. They don’t care about rules or how other players are treated. They are the kind of people that watch in silence when injustices occur. That’s more than messed up. It shows that Blogshares is not a game for the public, it is a mainly a game played among a small group of insiders composed of corrupt directors, administrators, staff, their loyal supporters and wannabes.
“The Architect” (AKA AdamF, AKA Lee Smallbone(r), a Game Administrator boasts in his forums posting signature: ” “The Architect” - A sycophantic liar with the morals of a gangland assassin. Also a BlogShares Administrator.”
Sick but true. Sicker still is that he is supported and enabled to behave that way.
It is no wonder they keep losing players: the same corrupt group of puffed up old timers, insiders, their sycophants and apologists old and new continue to run it into the ground. Down down down it goes. About one hundred players have left the game in the eight months since they unfairly banned me from play. Why ? Simple, because the game is totally corrupt. Rules are selectively applied and enforced based on loyalty to the power elite.
They unfairly banned me without cause and in an unprecedented move stripped me of my legally earned game assets. Not because I cheated (no BSEC case), just because they did not like me (all done privately in back channel chats).
Because I was successful in the game without having to cheat. Because I pointed out the cheats and their inconsistent and corrupt ways of dealing with the cheaters among them. Because I would not support their corrupt administration of the game. I would not accept the way they coddled, rewarded and protected the cheaters among their ranks.
They had evidence and ignored it. They shouted down, insulted and shut out their critics by means of threats, fear, fiat and bans to instill loyalty. Sick. Blogshares is sick. It probably always has been sick.
They reward cheaters and ban honest players. They rewarded Sage Enterprises despite her many cheats. Sage and others among the admin and roled players protected Miss Melville despite her cheats. Now Miss Melville has been rewarded despite her cheats. They covered for Sarabear and others who whined in private about legal game play. The examples of these behaviors could fill a book.
The game Admin are phonier than a Blogshares dollar, phonier than a Blogshares rule. Self serving liars without customer service skills who lack honesty and integrity. They try and are sometimes successful in covering up their own corrupt practices and the corrupt practices of those who support their corruptions.
For a who’s-who of the cheaters just take a look at the whole list of the inner circle/ roled players under Community/People. A few are merely hangers on but the vast majority are simply corrupt. They somehow take pleasure in cheats and cheating as long as it serves their personal goals.
None of them dare have me around (thus my bans from irc and the forums as well as the game) and all of them are afraid to confront or deal with me or the game honestly. Some even try to stalk me but that is another story.
I hear there are the same tired old cheaters and the same tired old whiners and obsequious fools.
There are the back stabbers and phonies who toe the Blogshares ‘party line’ while covering up for the cheaters among them and their friends outside of their corporation.
There are the new sycophants. They help pick up the slack for the old sycophants like AdamF/The Architect (LOL)/Mr. Lee Smallbone(r), a two bit cop without a life who is such an ass that he lost a long time RL friend and has domestic problems at home as well. What a loser. What a phony.
I was a member long before Smallbone(r) joined Blogshares and I watched as he brown nosed his way to power and except when conditions demanded conspiracy and collusion he has almost single handedly dragged the game down from 400+ players when he joined to the 145 or less playing today.
Watch out for Smallboner. This self anointed ‘know-it-all’ who began answering forums questions as if he were admin while he was still only a newbie player cannot ever be trusted to do anything unless it benefits his twisted vision and personal agenda. He has bribed, threatened and cajoled players into loyalty to his vision of the game. He and the extremely rude IslandDave have chased away hunderds of players with their bias and unfairness. This busybody ass kisser manufactured the bans of PnP and me telling srabear in a leaked PM: “AdamF The short of it is I’d sponsor a ban on both IF I thought the community would publicly back me.”
As William S. Burroughs would say if he ever had encountered Smallboner: “Brown nose fink to the bone”.
Yes, Blogshares is a joke. Blogshares is a corrupt joke. Blogshares is a small corrupt fiefdom continuously collapsing under the weight of its many corruptions that are created and sanctioned by the rest of the corrupt admin and inner circle. It is a slow motion disaster. Blogshares is going down down down …
And, the question remains: to sue or not ? I’m too busy now. Time will tell.

Ah, another old guarder come to vent, or have I?
Without the life we keep injecting into it, this would become a sad sad little game, now that I think about it, you’re a sad sad little man who prefers to spend his time attacking websites that unfairly banished him from their auspices, instead of moving on and finding better amusements to wile away the hours.
Think about that, my old friend.

Hi Rob. I see you could not respond to the points I raised in the post because what I say there is fact and can’t be disputed. I still post here at the UTs blog when I feel like it which usually only occurs after the game loses another 40 - 50 players. Recently that had happened again so I smiled and posted.
Me, “Sad” ? Hah ! I could say the same of you but I won’t. Blogshares is sad. The corrupt inner circle jerks you think of as your friends at Blogshares are sad. Needing to surround yourself with unpaid volunteer “Yes” people (sycophants and liars) is sad. If you want to see the truly “sad sad little” people look just look at the majority of he players who are still left in the game. They are much easier to see now that so many players keep leaving Blogshares.
As I said, you just keep losing players and that’s a fact. If you ever wonder why that is you might look more deeply at the character of the people you have put in charge. With me gone you certainly can’t continue to pretend its my fault.
Rob, despite some rough patches and your own sometimes endearing form of cantankerousness I basically always considered you a friend. You really did disappoint me when you, too, blew me off by joining in with the ‘mob’ rather than dealing honestly and fairly with the situation. You could have stopped this fiasco.
You have a way to contact me by email but you have not done so. Why did you try stalking me on Spokeo or replying here instead ?
Look, I was ‘banned’ without any warning any BSEC case and for no good reasons except that the ham-fisted stooges you empower didn’t like me. Why ? Because I didn’t always agree with the way the game was administered (the cheats and the coverups especially) and because I would say so; and, I would also at times respond to the unnecessary rudeness of your admins with equal and well deserved rudeness in return; and, because I was pretty successful in the game by playing fairly and within the rules. There was lots of resentment and envy among the ranks of the old timers and other inner circle jerks and wannabes to my success. Those are the reasons I was banned. None of them are covered in any TOS or Rules.
Stripping me of all my fairly earned assets of 3+ years of play was unprecedented, uncalled for and simply spiteful.
I only blame you and Jay in as much as you have always and continue to empower the bullying tactics, rude behaviors, bribes, threats, fiats and coverups of IslandDave Nichols and Lee Smallboner, et.al. Sure, they ‘run’ the game for you more or less for free; they are volunteers and they gain certain special advantages and protections because of that. That does not mean they are always right. Might does not make right as I’m sure you know or will discover.
Challenging authority is not against the rules. Sometimes authority is simply wrong and, IMO, in cases like that, authority needs to be challenged for the good of the larger community of players who are not part of the inner circle with the attendent perks and priviledges that come by sucking up to power. I never suck up to power. I never suck up. I did what I could for good cause and I guess I was pretty good at it since that is really what led to my ban. The sad little men couldn’t take it. The crybabies had to ban me - that is pretty funny when you think about it, isn’t it ?
Anyway, I know you and Jay are busy and don’t play the game or get involved in the day to day things, blah, blah, blah. But, you both could have looked more deeply into the facts. If you had you likely would have acted in my defense because I do believe you are good in your hearts. Hell, you still could, you know. You could still change all of this in an instant. Instead, out of convenience, so far, you both have taken the simple way out by caving in to the base demands and outright lies of your inferiors. That doesn’t speak well of you or Blogshares. It is a large part of why the game has consistently been losing and continues to lose active players over the past four years.
Anyway, contrary to your reply, I am doing fine. Since the ‘ban’ I have come to appreciate the precious gift of freedom I was given by means of the game admin’s treacheries and your own complicity and betrayal. Instead of wasting countless hours playing a fatally flawed online ‘game’ I have traveled extensively and become more involved in the truly rewarding and creative aspects of my life.
If I still thought of you as a friend I would tell you more about that instead of replying to your rather lame comment. But, you truly did disappoint me and I can’t trust you or take pleasure in what might have become a decent friendship.
Perhaps some day things will improve between us but for now there has been too much difficulty in all of this.
I do hope you are doing well and that your recovery has been successful.
Keep in touch if you wish.

PS: Long story short:
You and Jay (and even the whole brown nosed crew) must surely realize by now that any game which constantly loses premium members and active players is a failure and not a success, right ?
By this simple measure Blogshares has become a stunning failure.
The steady and continual shrinkage of the Blogshares customer base is an undeniable fact.
Corruption will always take such a toll in the end.
You were warned.

Whatever dude, I wont even dignify you by reading that post in its entirety. Enjoy your solitary life.
