Nirvanix Propaganda Efforts - watch out!
Autor tombassett
Recently Nirvanix published an article on their blog claiming they bear no responsibility for the deletion or blocking of millions of user files. Though Charlie Jackson (Former MM board member), Steve Iverson (former MM president) and John Hood (former MM Customer Service head) all state that Nirvanix is one way or another DIRECTLY at fault, Nirvanix says, I guess, all those guys are lying.
Whatever, that’s not what this is about. What this is about is someone is going around the net shilling for Nirvanix, using different names and IP addresses. I realized they had shills but didn’t realize that I have proof of it on this very blog.
It started over on the Unofficial Nirvanix Users forum reported:
someone with the ip address of 68.15.28.125 and using the email address of jas@yahoo.com, who just happens to be in the San Diego area, is trying to get to get Nirvanix’s point of view across by getting blogger’s to publish his comment containing a link to the Nirvanix Blog about how we have written un-truths about the company.
This comment made me realize that I too had gotten SEVERAL comments on this very blog lately doing the same thing - containing a link to another website where the alleged “truth” was revealed - the truth being that Nirvanix bore no responsibility. I didn’t put things together, but I checked the comment details today.
I received comments from 3 people: Eric, Darren, and Nick. They all had different user names and different IP addresses, but the SAME email address.
So if you have a blog, and someone has posted pro-Nirvanix comments, please go into your blog administration screen and find all of those suspicious patterns - different names under same IP address, different emails but same name, different name but same emails, etc. If you find anything, please send it to me on my comment form at the top of the page, I will post it here.
WATCH OUT FOR THESE PEOPLE:
IP ADDRESSES:
68.15.28.125
24.199.49.114
67.49.39.31
USERNAMES:
