Autosurf Dummy

The much loved XLO has finally been sent to the gutters. Bob, depicted as the white knight when he purchased XLO and promised to reinstate its paying status has found that XLO is not viable and in very bad shape. Below is his update:

Dear Members,

I would like to address the situation with XLO surf which we purchased several weeks ago. We spent some time going through the database and examining how bad the damage really was and have discovered XLO to be in worse shape than what was originally portrayed to us by the admin “Andy”.

This has been very disheartening to us, We were very excited about the purchase of XLO and the opportunity to add this site to our network, but after careful review of the database it does not look very promising at this time.

We are not going to just give up, We will find a way to make this happen so the members of XLO can get there funds back and join us at Tri-Star Media in success and a bright future. Please remain patient as we continue to devise a plan to make this work. I will update you all after I have had some time to work the numbers.

Thank you
Robert Krimm
President
Tri-Star Media Group, Inc.

Andy has rebutted the announcement and apparently, XLO is still very much in his mind and he is fiercely protective of something he has built over the past nine months. He is upset by the comments that the product he has sold was flawed but then Andy should have heeded many members' comments then that selling XLO to Bob was no solution and definitely not in members' interest.

Well, no point crying over spilt milk now. Here is Andy's rebuttal:

If there is something wrong with the database then it should be publicly stated exactly what that is - cos I sure as hell didn't have any problems with it.

Bob ststed that he would take care of all XLO mmbers. Bob agreed that the XLO site woiuld be run as is - a low ROI site.

If members are forced into a 50/50 program - then - that is bob's right(??) to do that. While I may not agree with it - the program is his to do with what he will.

What I do not condone, nor accept, is that XLO was in a broken state and that Bob had to fix it. That is an outright lie. (Let's call a spade a spade) The analogy is a car - Bob was sold a fulling working car - all he was required to do was add fuel. If he chooses not to do that - that is his option. It does not mean that the car was in bad shape.

I think it is ver very sad that Bob has resorted to the methods he has - there was no reason for him to do so. He has other options other than making things up.

Autosurf Dummy has a nagging suspicion that Bob has actually purchased XLO to get his hands on the database rather than an interest to rescue the program. But whatever the motive, Andy is as much in the wrong as Bob for selling out.

In a harsh way, Bob actually did the right thing by discarding XLO to protect his own surfs but he should have admitted it in a straightforward manner and not pin the blame on Andy's database. The way he announced it was disappointing.

Anyway, there is no need to push the blame either way as most members should already be prepared for the worst already. Andy has tried his best for his members even if he made a wrong and unpopular decision towards the end.
