Jim Hill is back w. major new US & IOA scoop

[scooby-the-doo]

You did nothing wrong. You simply provided a link to a site that contained a very interesting article. This other poster is simply providing flame-bait.

Maybe you could clairfy that statment DOO we already have enough people who post around here leaving your wondering what they are talking about.

Just wanted to say this:

Earl over everyone who talks about anything regarding "Universal". I totally agree with Barry!(Hi Barry! )
Everthing Earl says is true and he doesn't fool us! As Earl has said, he wants to have some fun with us and here are loads of people who want to, too. (I think so )

Sometimes it is hard to understand why Earl can't tell us everything......

but hey, I'm quite sure Earl'd like to tell everyone of us what the new attraction's gonna be like, as hard as we want to knwo about it

BTW, I think you are right Earl and it is amazing how you protect your company's buissnes! (Hope you guys understand what I mean. Sometimes I have difficulties to write in English.! Sorry everyone!)

 

[PartyofSix]

Very nicely put.

Tigerlaw, you did nothing wrong by providing the link.

I think the bashing came about because Jim Hill is unknown. I've never heard of him. There was also a message in RRC with a link to an article talking about Tower of Terror.
http://www.tower-of-terror.com/
This guy has come out of nowhere, and we're challenging his statements. I don't mind another author, but it seems his comments we're speculation.

www.screamscape.com is more credible. Sure, we poke fun at Lance, but he actually generates "buzz" for the industry. I love reading his "rumors" and most of the time they're fairly accurate.

I think there was some frustration being vented.
Don't be scared to post. It's good to keep discussions going because it generates excitement.

Earl, if you only knew how many people read your posts.
Besides Raven Maven of Holiday World, you're the only one who talks with the fans. And we appreciate it.

You must have missed his articles for the Orlando Sentinel?

You can find his article on MousePlanet, Laughing Place.com and he publishes an article in the Orlando Weekley http://www.orlandoweekly.com/news/eyedrive/

Jim Hill is not exactly unknown. He's a noted Disney-watcher, publishing extensively on the net and in print. As Earl pointed out, his latest website is indeed a commercial offering, so Jim's articles should be viewed in that light (eg, hype-up the rumour = lots of page impressions). Nevertheless, Jim does seem to have good links, especially in the MouseHouse.

Earl, thanks for your clarification to my question. I understand your position, and I'm gratefull for your contribution to this board, even if sometimes you can't say too much.

Regards

Rob

Can someone please tell me what is wrong with having sponsers for your website? Everysite out there has to be paid for some way or another...not sure if you guy understand this or not...but right here on the DIS they have sponsers.

Dosen't seem that Jim is making a ton of money of his little website either. At least with under 4000 hits so far? Just how much money do you think he is making off that? I bet it's not enough to pay for the bandwidth that the site uses.

By linking to the article instead of posting it in its entirety you save yourself from possible Copyright issues and it is consider good netiquette to do so. Quoting portions of news or articles is ok if you using them as discussions. Quoting the entire article can get you in trouble though....so when in doubt post a link.

Now that is just down right strange I could swear I was talking to someone on this thread a couple of times....

 

[Megatoby]

You're right EUROPA! Something strange must be going on here. If I see this right all of Earl's post on this thread have gone! How could this happen? Barry, Earl, what's going on here ?

 

[BarryHom]

I will check with the webmasters on what happened.

 

[EUROPA]

...my bet is it's not a computer glitch.

Perhaps Earl decided that he was wasting his time trying to get his point across and so he deleted his posts.

 

[h20jag]

Don't know all the details of what's happening on this thread, but did read that rather long 1st post..... Wow! Can't take it as gospel tho. Also can't believe I read that much either (it didn't have any sports scores in it).

 

[Megatoby]

@damo

that could be it. It's a pity. I, for example, got "the point" of Earl's message, as I wrote in a post here in this thread.

But if Earl deleted his posts here, then he knows why he did so and I suppose he has his reasons...
