I didn't know whether or not to post this, but I joined several writing boards and barely post now. I've talked to a few members here who were members at this particular board and was informed the emails I recieved were in fact lies. I (as well as a few other members) recieved emails asking for money since the forum was going under if they did not recieve funds. They (the owners of the site) claimed it was due to PublishAmerica and they (PA) were sending out fake emails asking for the cash in the forums name. PA was not behind this email and yet were taking the rap.
No one understood this, so they posted questions. The questions were then belittled and put down, accusing those who asked of lying and that no such emails were sent. One member posted a copy of the email in question and said here is the original version. The owner deleted the email immediately. The owner of the site then informed everyone she only sent one email asking for money, not ten or more. The owner said the site had been paid up since two months before the emails were sent and would not be going under within a month as the original email said. We were informed the site was paid till mid year of 2007.
I didn't want anyone to say I was discriminating against the site, so I didn't post the name or owners, but I just wanted to inform everyone that the site was lying and asking for money, then declared it was not true. Then said it was but changed dates and amounts of money around. I have no longer posted there since the incident and noticed no one else has either. Only the two owners are posting and a member or two.
