Online radio takes a hard knock

Really disappointing article. While mybb cannot seem to move on, Ballz have accepted the situation (and figures) and joke about it every day. It was even part of the rugby panel on Friday.
 
This article is like a summary of what happened and really doesn't say anything new. I think she is just trying to milk a story that has finished.
 
Yeah this really comes across as a vendetta against Ballz now. All of this has already been written by mybb . Rather poor form....
 
It's like kicking a man in the balls when the stitches in his balls from the previous time you kicked him in the balls and ruptured them haven't even healed yet.
 
... some people may not have followed the whole thing.

We RequirerIT ;)
 
Um the article is the Mail and Guardian's article. Verashni Pillay isn't on MyBroadband's payroll and I don't even think she visits the site much or is on these forums (if she is "Hi Versashni, its been a while. Enjoying M&G?"). I imagine there is a cross syndication agreement of some sort but the fact is that the article is in and from a different space. MyBB did an extensive expose et al on the subject and the mainstream media have picked up on this which is a good thing.

Now to criticise the nature of M&G coverage is quite different subject but it should probably in fairness be done by looking at how the mainstream media have covered the matter generally. Obviously the fact that the article lacks technical depth is a great pity, after all the author is a graduate of the best university in the country and should have been able to give a clear, precise and novel angle on all matters technical.
[In case the jest of the last sentence is lost, I am joking: (a) there is no such thing as a best university, although we should wave the banner on occassion ...]

Erm, why did myBB have to post the article then?

I suspect - but RPM would need to confirm - that there is a syndication agreement or practice of some sort. I imagine all M&G articles of a tech nature appear on MyBB.
 
MyADSL has been publishing M&G articles for a while, as part of a syndication agreement I believe. Some other publications feature now and again too.
 
Well that makes a little more sense then. Thanks for the explanation...
