Actually, it gets better. This is the internet, full of misconception, opinions, e-peen, and jackassery. What is said on the internet cannot be interpreted as truth, but what's said on the news, via public announcement, can (
through direct quotation, not when the media manipulates the meanings of something). When Allakhazam sold to Affinity Media, and Affinity Media was revealed to be the controller of IGE, this became real-world fact. What's said on this board, a blog, and so on cannot be seen as fact, and therefore people can still be paranoid about IGE lingering in the dirty laundry.
What facts are known, are what founds people's suspicions. How can you trust someone working for the company that they aren't in secret co-op with IGE? How can you trust anything but the solid evidence?
All I know is all I know, and that, along with the half-naked ads and the earlier disturbing ads that got removed later, makes me think that this site isn't perfect, and that makes me think that money can lead people to do things they otherwise wouldn't do. So I trust no one. It's my policy in real life too, and it's served me well. Because of my objectivity and cynicism, I've avoided hellish situations. I'm not saying something "hellish" is going to happen by the forum members of Allakhazam by trusting the admins, I'm just saying that perhaps that trust isn't well-founded.
The worst that could happen is keyloggers, and I doubt a big-name company would resort to that and live to tell about it. *thinks of Sony*
So I'm cool being on Allakhazam. I just don't trust the hired staff. It's just how I am, I guess. I'm too skeptical of humanity to think that you guys wouldn't try to cover your asses if IGE was still a part of this whole shibang. So no offense really, it's just I'm not the trusting type until someone proves themself to me.
