Here's a question: Why did you feel the need to keep it a secret in the first place?
I see a few back and forth conversations with some ladies on there. Maybe he didn't want them to find out they were talking to the infamous Phi of inforoo....known far and wide for his one-man orgies.
Here's a question: Why did you feel the need to keep it a secret in the first place?
Initially I created the twitter account for trolling purposes. The plan was to build up a following tweeting legit leaks that were posted on inforoo, and then pull a LollaLeaks and troll the twitterverse with a list of fake headliners.
That thinking process was short lived and I started taking it seriously and created the website. I kept it anonymous because there were a few legit leaks that I had, that werent posted on inforoo, that I wanted to share. I learned about Macca at the same time some others did, when a certain poster privately shared the information. I didnt want to betray their trust, so I waited until it became public information on the forum to make the article. But I did use it as bait to gain followers, and where a lot of people thought I was full of shit and didnt know anything.
Would you fight Weeping Elvis in a steel cage for the right to steal Inforoo's inside info and release it as your own find?
Glad you brought this up.
1. I dont realistically see how something posted on inforoo, by another individual, all the sudden becomes "inforoo"'s property. 2. I was very open from the beginning on the account that the information I was tweeting was gathered from the internet and not an inside source. 3. No, when I make my "So and so confirmed for so and so festival" posts, I do not include a source with it. However, anytime someone tweeted me asking where I got the information, I ALWAYS pointed them to inforoo. 4. After the massive bitching, I did start always linking inforoo in the articles I created, just not always directly in the tweets. I also have a direct link to inforoo on my website now. 5. I remember you personally going off about a tweet I posted saying something to the likes of "I told you about McCartney before Inforoo did" when everyone was claiming I stole the leak from inforoo. You made a point to point out the timestamp of Juggs post and the article I wrote. However, in that particular tweet, it was a direct tweet to one person. That one person, I had direct messaged and told her McCartney was playing about a week prior to Juggs post. I was not referring to "I told all the followers".

For me, it's not so much about something being "inforoo's property" as much as it is about a website/blog/twitter account lying about where they got the info. Like if someone is finding info out on here and then acting like it was from a secret inside source just bugs me a lot. Granted, there are people/blogs/sites that will have inside sources but in the years that I've been on inforoo there are always a few sites that pop up and gain traction directly because of taking stuff from here. Then new posters come to Inforoo and start spreading around stuff that we already knew and saying that some random site found it out....rinse & repeat each year.
I just like it when people are upfront about things and don't bullsh*t. In general: If you've got info and can share it, share it. If you've got info and can't share it....don't bring up that you've got info. If you found info from other people/message boards, don't pretend that it's your exclusive find.
You can have your little twitter account, I don't care.
But yes, the Macca thing was seen as blatant theft of inside info, whether you want to say it is or not. I have to thank you, though, it was one of the factors that led into the private thread debate.

As far as I can recall, I never once tweeted/fb posted a confirmation and lied about where I got it? Nor claimed it to be from my own source?

Like I said in an earlier post. I had the information long before it was publicly posted on inforoo. Obviously people did not know that so it was perceived as a theft of information.

As far as I can recall I didn't accuse you of doing that and my post was just generally speaking . When I read the first point about people getting upset because someone takes "inforoo's property" I just felt like expressing why I personally get annoyed by certain things people have done in the past.

You had the Macca confirmation long before anyone else? How?
Seeing how the member who confirmed it told a couple people at first before making it public, even if you were among the initial people he told you wouldn't have known before anyone else.
