I've addressed all the points brought up in this thread that I can, as truthfully as I can. I'm not sure what else you want?

If you're concerned about business practices, publicly sharing private information regarding my employees and their interactions within my company would not be a good business practice, as it opens me up to a world of legal issues and would certainly make some of them very upset.


Hi Bort, I'm glad you came out and publicly discussed this and, while I'm not sure why there are two Conspiracy Theory #3s, I'm happy you took the time to come over and clear the air. You, being the guy in charge of everything, the godfather of glb, if you will, have a lot more clout than mods and other admins, who, with their dodging and deflecting of the issues, have spurned a lot of resentment from people on here.

That being said, you should release that lengthy explanation post as an announcement.

Also, is there any validity to the accusations that the high rollers received extra additional bonuses to their flex packages?

Ah, ok I did miss one then.

I'm know we have given people some extra points a couple times when they bought more than one HoF package at once, because they messaged support about it before doing so, and it seemed reasonable that the bulk discount could extend beyond the largest package we list, if somebody really wanted to $2000-3000 all at once. That's a pretty rare circumstance, though - I've never just randomly given big spenders extra points for no reason. If the ex employee in question did so, he did so without my knowledge, because I wouldn't have OK'ed that. Any sort of frequent buyer program would have to be coded into the business logic of the site, and no such program currently exists.

We do sometimes give people reward points for contributing stuff to the game, like creating new plays, or making a guide, or running popular games, etc, but that's pretty common knowledge and I don't think anybody would be upset about that.

And if it is true then is/was that option available to anybody will to spend said amount. The conspiracy theory is that DD was the one to approve such bonuses.

I know of a few agents that have bought 2 and 3 HOF packages at one time and while I don't do that.I really don't see a problem with them getting a little extra for making such a huge purchase.If it was yourself you probably would expect something like that for your purchase.I know when I have gone gambling and spending cash in the casino I have been comped free stuff for spending my money there and the casino trying to keep me happy and spending more will do stuff like that.

Got no problem with any of that. Thank you for clarifying.

Have you ever sanctioned your Admin to allow groups of agents to pool their $ in order to purchase larger flex packages then they could individually (thus getting a larger discount) and then break those purchases up for the groups of users?

No. That wouldn't really be possible anyway, since we don't do flex point transfers between users.
