Well in order to manage your expectations I should note there may not be much more on the Google Drive situation quite yet. We do have some other news that should prove interesting for all, however.
I do like 'interesting'. |

I know it's out of your control, but it's very tiresome to be told something happening imminently only for it never to appear.
Just tell us so we can start cheering instead of bitching - it's much healthier for all of us. |

We aren't ignoring it or putting off anything in order to see how long it will take before we have fatigued the entire community on discussing it.
Let's hope this doesn't become an infamous quote of yours... |

Interesting that Istock has fired the contributor that pointed out this deal. |

There will be lots of conspiracies.
Please do keep this discussion on topic and not about the developments of today. I will make sure we have something up on that very soon. |

Well, you know, it's almost something that doesn't need to be discussed in our boards as there are a number of external conversations going on already. We aren't really at liberty to discuss things unlike Mr. Locke who is going to do what he is going to do. We've never discussed the terminations of contributor accounts in past, so it's hard to say if we will at this point.
As for the conspiracies, any comments we would make at this point to debunk or debate wouldn't help anyway. People are going to interpret things as they see fit. That is about all I have on that at this point.
Anyone who feels the need to perpetuate the discussion on the termination can feel free to contact me via site mail. I won't share anymore than I have stated above, but if you have an opinion you want to get out you can send it to me. We wont be having an open conversation about it in these forums until someone up the chain decides otherwise.
Thanks |
   Posted Mon Feb 11 2:20PM | ^ I think Slobo was wondering if there was going to be an announcement on what is happening with Google Drive. |

That was a freebie then.
I'm heading into HQ this week. I'll get some updates. |

My guess is that slobo wasn't referring to that. And Lobo knew it. And slobo knew it. And now I'm wondering if I can get out of this post without writing a dirty limerick.

I wasn't sure which he was referring to either. The first or the second one?!? I went for elephant dancing around the room. Limereric that up for me  |
        Posted Mon Feb 11 4:41PM | I got the answer anyway  |
