Skaffe - Goguides

I hope this doesnt bring up any bad tension (Bruce & Robert - I'm just curious), but what happened between these two directories?

I searched, and I saw posts ranging from a lawsuit to investigations by the fbi, but nothing with what really happened?

GoGuides was around originally. They had some sort of internal spat. Certain people left and took the script and database with them. They started Skaffe with that script and wiped the original database.

Amazingly enough, the idiot-thiefs at GoGuides claimed to NOT HAVE A BACKUP.

They ran around posting threats and then they put their website back up. THEY NEVER RECOVERED THEIR DATA, and put up an empty directory.

People like myself who paid for 6 listings, got nothing. On my forum I received an email threatening to involve me in criminal proceedings if I linked to Skaffee. LOL.

GoGuides directory is nowhere near to being empty. I know there was some ugliness there, but I don't think that we should be rushing to judge either party. Skaffe people didn't want to stick around GoGuides, and they were partners, so if they want to take the database then I think it's fine.


And GoGuides certainly has a right to run the directory that was theirs to begin with.


I think it all worked out great for both parties in the end.

Robert and I have a good working relationship between Skaffe, GoGuides and WoW as well. Robert has also been a much appreciated and respected advisor in the development of WoW. Any problems we had in the past is very old news and was mostly internet gossip at best.

We were both Go.com editors. I was on the founding crew of Zeal before it was sold out. I'm not sure if Robert edited with Zeal.
