Directoryspy new owner!

    directoryspy.com was sold here in dp to a new owner. The first thing he did was to remove the sponsor links from the theme he is using :mad:
    I notified him that he should put them back and he told me that he will change themes. 3 weeks later he is still using the theme without the sponsor links. I reminded him but still no response...

    Sorry to know that!

    If he expects to be treated with respect among directory owners, I think he must do the right thing. But it seems that's not case!!!

    Does anyone know what's his dp name?

    Who is the new owner!

    Reveal his name here so that he won't do the mistake again!

    Very unethical of the new owner to do so.

    Very unprofessional!

    If you know the owner, reveal his name and he would forget doing mistakes :eek:

    that's what these forums are for... it is to serve as a watchdog against unethical directory owners! Reveal his name and he will feel the brunt of his folly ;)

    however, we shld also hear both sides of the story to be fair.....

    Here is the remainder of the emails we exchanged:
    Him: What link are you talking about?
    Me: The theme you are using is sponsored by rakcha directory http://www.rakcha.com
    Him: I'm having a custom theme made, and I don't do the graphics, so I don't
    know about these things.
    Me: You knew about it when removing the link, not now?
    The link was there before you purchased the site and replaced the link by
    goingup
    nobody likes those practices
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=452358
    Him: I don't frequent that site, but appreciate at the links back from it.

    Looks like he is pretty serious about his acquisition :rolleyes:.
    He is his DP profile: scott1008

    I just looked at the site in question and it says RIGHT IN THE BOTTOM:

    iKon Wordpress Theme by TextNData

    So who is the bigger story teller here?

    Sure seems like a lot of drama, and it certainly appears that mhamdi is trying to (successfully) get an opinion formed by making false statements.

    I'm new to this forum, and this sure seems like a waste of valuable resources to me.

    At anytime you can visit the site, directoryspy.com, and see that the credit to a company is there. Is TextNData this mhamdi person? Does he own that company? Who owns DirectorySpy?

    Jeesh, who the heck cares anyway. I'm ready for a change in topic, how about you?

    welcome in the forums Peter Scott.
    watch out from the duplicate accounts penalty though.

    Come on now who ever you are!

    mhamdi did what he had to! He paid for a template and then released for free. And from that you remove the sponsored link.

    Who would be silent if you do those kind of things..
    The old owner might have given the site into your hands thinking of a bright future, but you are beginning with just bad things.
