I will deposit $500 into my Pinny account taking you up on your statement that the RX never paid JJGold to post.

Let me know!

JJ was never paid to ghost here, although after coming to SHRINK asking for money, SHRINK gave in and got with me. While it was quite a decision, I told Ken that if he wanted to help JJ a little financially, then ask Marty. Marty agreed and we paid JJ for about 2 months of work. He was banned and received his pay in full. It was a generous thing that SHRINK even considered, but JJ acted as if he was in need of money. SHRINK had done this in the past and it is not new. You can choose to believe this or not, but SHRINK had absolutely forgotten about this occurring when he posted that he had not been paid. I believe him because when I reminded him of this, he said "Damn it, I had fukin forgot all about that". It is not unbelievable to forget JJ of all posters, especially since SHRINK no longer handles the financials. So to cease the inquiries, it is true. The Prescription paid JJ. So what? It is their money, so they can spend it how they like. Some will argue that SHRINK had not forgot but lied. Ask yourself why he would set himself up like this if he indeed did not forget. I agreed to paying JJ as well since I felt he needed money and that is the way it came off. In the end, I think we were the ones who got suckered by his being broke stories. No harm IMO, but let it all out. Share your opinions. Let the gossip continue. SHRINK did make a mistake in posting JJ never got paid, but SHRINK did not pay him a dime. The Prescription which is no longer owned by SHRINK paid JJ with my agreement as well.

I refer to it as a generous gesture by us and JJ assisted me with the board as a sort of assistant as we talked alot during that period, with him sharing good feedback to me. He was very helpful in his thoughts about our operation. When i lost employment, SHRINK was there for me. When Uncle B was needing money SHRINK assisted him. When Bucsfan needed financial help, SHRINK helped him. I am certain there are more stories about SHRINK's biggest weakness. His Generousity to those in need. I am hoping to convince him that he has been used and taken advantage of over the last 3 years. I hope that he will listen to me and stop this practice and realize how he is used by some.

Thanks General...

truthteller, in the spirit of the bet, I'd have lost since the RX did pay him, which I had forgotten about...

In the letter of the law, I never made one payment to him...

I apologize if I offended anyone with my bold statement...

Let's make sure you have all the facts. Faith won't get you through this one, Truth.

JJ claimed he was paid $1500 over two months to post under TWENTY-FIVE different user names if he posted a minimum of 200 posts per month per ghost.

That is a false accusation.

While some of this is dodgy and I'm the first to admit it, JJGold is still, and always will be FULL OF CRAP.

The thread title in question reads: Are There Any Real Posters Over at the Rx?

I dunno, Truth, are YOU real? Am I real?

JJ is spinning this story to suit the thrust of this thread. He is no more concerned with ethics than he was with every other tall tale he spun nor more than he was the day he came asking Ken for money.

its none of anyones business who shrink pays and who he does not pay the way I see it. As far as I am concerned ken is all class and this is just stupid to even be discussing it always a bunch of drama, Who really cares if jj got paid to post or do whatever the hell he did.

JJ was claiming he got paid for creating different names and getting paid to post. While I don't believe he got paid to create 25 different names I do believe he was paid to post.

BTW, I don't care if he got paid to post or not. My concern was whether the people runnign things here were lying about paying him.

BTW Shrink, you said you would welcome any bet. I challenged you on that and I am assuming you have declined and will not pay.

It appears that he was paid to post. However, it also appears that this transaction was the result of his being down on his luck, not a diabolical scheme like he's making it sound.

He was not, however, paid to pretend to be 25 other people. And, again, given the thread title over there, he fabricated this portion of the story in order to make what little bit of truth he had going for him seem more sneaky than it was.

I am wondering why he doesnt' just tell us the names of these 25 ghosts? Wouldn't that help back his story up a little? After all, all 26 of them (including JJ) would have to be banned and an abrupt end to that many posters at once would be incriminating. He hasn't done that, nor will he, because it's not true.

He named 2 of his ghosts, Howie Rose and Jethro Tull. Do I believe him, no. However, I do believe he was paid to post and he wasn't given money because he was down on his luck. Alot of posters here are broke or down on their luck, I don't see the RX giving them $500 a month.

Fyi

I get paid every month by The Rx. (as do the other mods) and not a penny of it comes from Shrink. The same can be said for whatever money JJ recieved which I believe was for two months as a paid poster, no big secret. When JJ was let go he went on his usual bad mouth the Rx. and anyone attached to it rant. This latest is just another in a long line of baseless accusations about Shrink. Bottom line is Shrink never gave JJ a penny - his brief employment here was strictly a deal between himself and The Prescription - just like mine.

You mentioned two months of work? What was JJ's job here while he was getting paid?

It doesn't matter to me one way or another if JJ numblenuts was paid to post or do anything else for this site, but you guys should get together in the board room and at least get your stories meshed. General says he was assistant and Wil says he was a paid poster.

Even if what is being claimed is true it sounds to me like the only ones getting jerked were the advertisers, adding 5000 posts and 25 active posters to TheRx roster in order to make the community look a little larger. As far as I am concerned I hope that helped you get a bit of advertising money out of the books that advertise here.

JJ had no ghosts that I know of. I can't find any Jetro Tull or Howie Rose in our database. He simply posted as JJ Gold.

He was an advisor to ownership. He assisted in the creation of business plans and pointed out which posters and employees should and should not be here. He was doing a good job until he had a meltdown. :smoker2: <!-- / message -->
