Well, that now colours it differently for me because I didn't realise you felt quite so strongly. Also, I'd take you leaving the site as a personal loss (and a loss for the site itself, of course).
My immediate thought is to look for a compromise. Would you stay if it could be guaranteed that your stuff wouldn't be used (I can't guarantee this myself, of course, I'm just wondering what would be needed for acceptance)? Or is it a point of principle that you'd want to leave if any of our material was used?
I've got an awful feeling you're going to say it's the latter.
It doesn't matter how many times you say "in verbatim", the trailer sucked balls and i feel more insulted for this community than excited. When i registered for an account, I'm pretty sure i was reminded to treat the posts and users on this site with respect.
Oh, I saw that but it's not a trailer. It's a promo for the group, and a lot of it is just vox pops of audience members. It's nothing at all to do with IIN or what they've got planned.
I mean, would you use footage of Mission: Impossible (and audience reaction to it) to decide whether to see Jack Reacher (because it stars the same actor)? You seem to be doing that here and it's not valid.
The material that will be presented will be sourced off IIN. If you're suggesting there isn't a single person on this site who has ever said anything worth hearing, I think that's insulting to quite a few of us. If you do believe there is worthwhile material here, why would you write it off before you've even seen it?
I realized the promo was not what you were looking for only after i posted the link. you make a good example about jack reacher and mission impossible. To be fair, i thought the promo sucked, with the material that they did have to show it got boring fast. The promo was enough for me to see where then IIN topics would probably land and ultimately it just looks like a bad gimmick. Like dub step or, math core i give the blogolouges production no credit for what they are doing for the IIN community. Besides JUST poking fun (which is ok because we are as anonymous as we choose to be through our words and usernames) for their sake it better be hilarious.
The IIN site being exposed for comedy? How do you feel about this?

After 2.5 years at this site, I am now calling it quits over this issue. I will miss Dirtybirdy & Dappled the most. Goodbye.
Ps- Dappled, I think you're selling yourself short. Your thoughts, ideas & contributions here are worth more than you give yourself credit for.

I don't blame him one bit. I considered doing the same.

Yup. I dunno but I was just disgusted by the idea. And now the 'word' blogologues makes me want to upchuck.

There's a trailer of people doing IIN stuff? Hmm, I don't think I spotted that. I should go back and look.
