Yeah sorry not me I do host websites for people, as I own about 20 dedicated servers but thanks for playing

Seriously though, its not me. I promise, although I can't say who it is either.

Hmm. So are you the gay rapper that went to prison for rape - or just stealing his name?

I'm not here for your amusement.

It's not intended to be a humor site - it's a marketing experiment.

Never said you were. Settle down big boy.

How's the experiment going? (serious question) It appears you are testing something along the lines of whether or not negative publicity can drive good targetted traffic (or something like that).

Wow did your mom help you come up with that one? Wait let me check under my desk and ask her.

Yeah - along those lines. It's a little tough to track the impact, but I'm hearing from some of the people I'm targeting.

Basically, I am using it to address real complaints we've received. Like one where people are constantly telling me it's too hot in Miami in the summer.

As if I never considered that when picking the city. We're going there then because we can get a low rate for a nice hotel, since our polling indicates that attendees want to pay next to nothing for 5-star hotels.

On another note, I submitted a press release to PRweb for the site and they rejected it on the grounds that it "appears to be intended to exact personal revenge or harm a person or group."

I explained that I was the person or group I was targeting, but they didn't care.

That's pretty funny!

Couple questions:

1. Why did you choose the "sucks" format vs. a FAQ or even a blog post on a major blogger's site?

2. Do you think that having the site "outed" here will affect it's impact or skew your experiment?

Thanks!

1. Why did you choose the "sucks" format vs. a FAQ or even a blog post on a major blogger's site?

I figured I'd try something different. I've never had an FAQ on a site get any traffic. I do plenty of "conventional" interviews and such already.

2. Do you think that having the site "outed" here will affect it's impact or skew your experiment?

No - I would have concealed the source of the info if I thought that would be damaging. The ability to be outed has extended the conversation about the site in various places.

I'll always find time to turn on the lights and make the cockroaches scatter.
