Hi,
Some of you may remember me.
My name is Ken and I was a global moderator for Pyrofan until Tony (Pyrofans owner) decided to basically screw every pyro in this country when he shut his site down!
Fast foward a few months later,3 years ago, PyroCommunity and Pyrouniverse.info was launched with the hopes of reminding the pyro community that we still wanted a place to go for all things Pyro. We opened up these sites because of our love for Pyro.
I knew Josh Scott from FaceBook and we became friends and the day after the Mid-Atlantic Fireworks Festival (MAFF) ended, I called Josh on the way home and said lets pull the trigger on the new site.
We spoke to an attorney and I put up roughly $379 out of pocket to get things moving. There where originally 3 of us running PyroU.
Josh runs raffles on his Facebook site, Secret Pyro Society, which I didn't have much of an issue with because it was helping out the vendor community.
Recently. members have been texting me asking why there's so much desparity on what is paid out for the raffles vs. what was collected. I understand the fees involved on certain pay sites. He's been having a very difficult filling up the spots lately.
So, after another text, I reached out to Josh about this to discuss the next day, it was very late at night as I just got home. I didn't expect him to wake up to this messanger message but he did and was, well, pissed at those members for reaching out to me. He snapped at me and demanded to know who they where but I said they all asked to remain anonymous which seemed to set him off worse. I told him, Don't shoot the messanger". He continued to be nasty so I said I was done for the night and stopped responding.
Here's the issue.
Josh Scott took it upon himself to DELETE me from my own forum and listed me as "Guest" and I'm now hearing through the grapevines that every discussion he's had with vendors, I'm being told he said he was the only owner of PyroUniverse.info!
I know this is awkward for some but those that know me, I'll give you the shirt off my back to help in any way I can.
I'm asking anyone here who gets in on his raffles to stop. I am contacting all vendors to also stop advertising on my forum because !) traffic has been dismal at best the year or so (most of you are using FaceBook) and 2) the vendor community isnt seeing any ROI.
I'll be contacting the web master to permanetly shut down PyroUninverse.info......
Sorry for the long rant but I believe that Mr. Scott is doing this all for the weong reasons.
Amt questions or concerns, you can send me a pm....
Thank you for your time!
