In another thread (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...=1#post1174273), someone said: "My random thought of the day is, pet a dog, you'll feel better"
Along the lines of that logic, I am bumping this thread here, so that I might feel better.

Why not. We are stuck at home.
Beautiful! Thanks RF!
Rumor has it that at the Palavercon event organized by Mikaela (Robert Weiner's wife) Robert walked in on Mikaela and several others in the midst of flagrante delicato. This was the beginning of the end for their marriage. Eventually Mikaela ran off with a man (oddly enough named Grant)...
Wow..... yep looking forward to more

It should be noted that tippy4 and Dolan long ago patched up their differences.
Go back and read the entire thread. Skip the bouncing boobs, but there are plenty of juicy tid bits, including a brief time when a member here (currently in good standing, I believe he righted all of the wrongs) burned several others by not delivering on items purchased from him/her.
A PM sent out (to staff as members couldn't yet log in) in the very early days before TheDarkTower.com went live:
You Should Know This
Hi. This is a mass PM being sent to all managers and facilitators. Most of you know me, and a bunch of you know me pretty well. Take it however you want.
A few days ago, I stepped down from my position as Director of Operations (read: site designer). I had been approached for this position in February, before Matt bought the domain. He asked me to design the site, as I had known him for a long time and he said he respected my work as a designer. He, Aaron and I were to be equal partners.
The other day, I found an upper-level thread in which Matt said he was meeting with a web development company to subcontract the site work out to. This wasn't a big announcement, or even directed to me. After ascertaining that I was, in fact, being replaced without being told or warned, I stepped down. I was told that the meeting was set up because Matt hadn't heard from me for a couple of days, which I had spent working on the back end of the site and posting on various boards Matt has access to (including this one). In the interest of professionalism, I decided to not make a big scene.
Since I stepped down, numerous people have PM'd me, several of whom have described interactions with Matt that fit this same pattern of behavior. I won't bring them up here out of respect for those they happened to - if you don't believe me, feel free to ignore this paragraph.
This morning, I was emailed this link. In mid-March, Matt was already shopping around for my replacement, beginning with outsourcing it to Pakistan. I, of course, never heard word one about this. During this period of time between him posting the job listing and me stepping down, I had tons of very friendly contact with Matt, including flying from Alabama to Colorado to visit him at his house. I considered him one of my closest friends. I'm not saying this to appear as a victim, I'm trying to give the situation context.
I hate to be sending this, and I really hate drama. But after having talked with others who Matt has treated in the same way, I really don't want it to happen to anyone else. I don't expect it to stay open and visible, but I think it's important that you guys know who's in charge. Like I said, I'd been to the guy's house, bounced around tons of ideas, and worked my ass off for about a month before I saw the thread casually mentioning my replacement. It was unprofessional from a business standpoint, and pretty reprehensible from a personal standpoint.
Like I said, I'm not looking for pity or vengeance. If you guys think I'm a shit-stirrer or a bitter asshole, I'm okay with that - especially if it helps at least one person not get the shaft.
For the record....I never said..."what kind of a freak uses an actual picture of his ugly face for his avatar?"......but I do recall something along lines of suggesting he rethink his choice of avatar. I don't even recall why Dolan and I got into it....but to your point the hatchet was buried long ago.

As long as we are sharing stories.......
After Jerome took ownership of the site, Matt sort of disappeared for a while.
A year or two later, a member here let us know Matt had fallen on hard times, and I believe Jerome passed the hat around and raised a couple thousand dollars and gave it to Matt. In addition, Matt had a signed copy of The Gunslinger that had been gifted to him from the staff here, and needed to sell it. I bought it from Matt and told him I would hold it for a year, and if he wanted buy it back I would sell it to him for exactly what I had paid for it. Nine months later I contacted Matt to see how things were going and if he had planned to buy the book back, and he informed me that he would not be in a position to buy back the book....that things had gotten worse financially for him.....and that I should sell the book.
I ended up selling to book for a little more than I paid for it (to an international collector who I heard some interesting stories about later).
Thing is......inside the book was the receipt from King's attorney purchasing the domain name THEDARKTOWER.COM. I kept that receipt.
