Generally, nowadays the articles are well written and reasonably well edited. <br /><br />Of course, its a biased site - what would be expect? BBC? Within that context, I do like to read it and I do occasionally learn something new. <br /><br />As a side effect, it brought up the quality of EVEnews24 and Crossing Zebras. Especially evenews24 was unreadable before TMC came along and instilled a much calmer, professional environment where other screaming, foam-on-mouth sites just couldn't compete. <br /><br />Overall, I am not in love with TMC but in the right context, I do enjoy their posts. But then again, I don't take goons or EVE that seriously.

No...There is zero chance of goon Pravda ever dying. No chance the failed lawyer's ego would allow that. He NEEDS a public forum for his sociopathic madness. If it came to it, he would pen his own propaganda, even if no one else would write for that site. <br /><br />But he has too many sycophants and others dependent on goon RMT operations for that to ever happen. That site will remain a cancerous part of the Eve fabric, no matter how much damage it does to the game.Vince Snettertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00645892172885793532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-41252482009688610512016-03-10T11:53:49.325+01:002016-03-10T11:53:49.325+01:00@ Anonymous 10 March, 2016 03:13

the readers wer...'put your customers first'<br />the readers were never the customer.<br /><br />the facebook buisness model the advertisers are the consumer. the users are the product.<br />TMC wasnt even this.<br /><br />TMC pretended to be a media company. They drew funding from angel investors and did deals for capital investment. All this money flowed to Sion, Mittani and thier cronies.<br /><br />Its these people who drew salaries that were the customers of TMC. When the money started running out they tried to get more with the failed kickstarter.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-64028949928880898672016-03-10T09:29:21.764+01:002016-03-10T09:29:21.764+01:00SMA's site is even more dead, pretty hilarious...SMA's site is even more dead, pretty hilarious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-91034575040361217652016-03-10T09:22:07.310+01:002016-03-10T09:22:07.310+01:00@ nightgerbil
"It started out a good proje...@ nightgerbil <br /><br />"It started out a good project."<br /><br />It started out a conflicted project. Angry at very real bias from EN24, they wanted both to create a site with a higher standard of integrity and, at the same time, to create a site telling their side of the story. They've continually waivered between the two not realising you really have to just pick one and stick with it.<br /><br />There have been a lot of contributors who have tried to bring balance to the site but any attempts at reporting credibility have been constantly undermined by Goon leaders using it as a place to rant, biased comment moderation and falling out with the "talent" for not following the Goon party line.<br /><br />They needed to separate Church and State at the beginning and from the name on were utterly unable to do that.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-16901518544474055622016-03-10T07:39:37.440+01:002016-03-10T07:39:37.440+01:00It started out a good project, but then all the ne...It started out a good project, but then all the neutral posters got purged and it became a goon only site. Still good to follow, but then they re did the lay out and all of a sudden it became a chore to read it. Its orig incarnation, with a bunch of articles about all kind of things on a main page that you could click on, with variety of articles was good. Reading about LOL world of warships even about kirbles or nasa's latest project. Its now a shadow of its former self and has been for a year or more. I'm not surprised its posts are down, I bet its readership has sunk massively as well.<br /><br /> For me its failure comes from its owners (mittens and crew) not thinking about how it is to actually be a user of their product. If you put your customers first, tailor your product for them, you can make alot of money as your product will basically sell itself.nightgerbilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555431875907240808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-19756895549028378032016-03-10T03:13:18.087+01:002016-03-10T03:13:18.087+01:00Mittani declared he was going to restart the book ...Mittani declared he was going to restart the book in March, so here we are..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
