Troubles At Saveangel.org - Money Used In An Unethical Way Or Malicious Attack ?

From Saveangel.org - 2004-07-1st

Found on Saveangel.org forums :

NEWS: Writing Contest Postponed Indefinitely
Poster: Simon - Coordinator - Admin
Posted: Jun 30 2004, 08:35 AM

Dear ANGEL fans,
It is with deepest regret that I must announce the writing competition which was to have already begun will not be able to be run at this time. Members of the Contest Committee were unable to meet a long-past deadline in completing their responsibilities. The committee has been dissolved, and its members relieved from further service. The prizes intended for the competition are being returned to their donors. I personally apologize to those who were looking forward (as we all were) to entering and seeing how creative and insightful your papers would be. We may re-create the competition, once a new Contest Committee is selected and formed-- and if possible, this might occur soon. The wonderful entries for the graphics competition have been reviewed and we still intend to see those available to be voted on. I appreciate all your patience and continued support. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to drop me a line. Yours,
Simon

NEWS: Fight the Good Fight -- you game?

Hi all, there have been some issues that have been kept from you. 5 strategists, with well over 4000 posts, have quit this week. WE, were not terminated as you have been led to believe. The fact of the matter is the administrators here do not want their motives questioned. It has come to my attention that the contest was infact cancelled due to misturst of the motives behind it. WE were here to campaign, however, this site has been used in an unethical way (ask the admins which one bought a new car).
Joss & the Stars have repeatedly asked the fans not to make donations, becasue 2 campaign sites have misappropriated said funds, if you want to give ANGEL your money - go buy a DVD, a book, a trading card. DO NOT give it to any website or campaign.
The prizes for the contest were withdran becasue the stars, the contest comittee, and other Hollywooder’s were afraid that they would be MISUSED. The contest in itself was a cloak for a money making scheme. Campaign hard, but campaign smart.
Make of it what you will.

Warlock

People have been suspecting this of some guy 'Simon' for a while now. Some even started refering to it as "the_site_that_doesn't_tell_you_where_your_money_go es" and told people to stop giving a while ago. In fact, he got slammed at the Bronze Beta for not answering questions.

I wish I could say I'm surprised at the news, but I'm not.

Well, he is telling the truth about that. The particular site did stop taking money some time ago, so this is basically old news.

However, like most things, it will likely be and was exaggerrated.

Actually he stopped taking "donations" but he has set up Amazon items that when purchased through his link at the increased prices gives him a cut. He also has a cafe press store.

I will not go into the rumors I have been told cause they are that "rumors".

But the two sites refered to are saveangel.org and Simon's other site veta.org

Thanx, Tara. And thank you for pointing out it wasn't both campaigns, they were his sites.

Like everything on the internet, rumors will start and as clever and informative as "..." is, it's always dangerous to add fuel to the fire when there isn't anything to back things up, especially when it comes to peoples' money. Thanx again.

Well next time you don't say anything, make sure you don't do it in a clever or informative fashion. Dumb it down a bit...

Surely any money used to save Angel is being used unethically?

I dunno about ethical but any money used to save Angel at this point seems rather like flushing it down the toilet (The Motley Fool weeps, I tell ya! WEEPS!) but heck, what do I know?

So I'm just gonna have go back to...
