Casey, KoKo and Candy CREATED The Canvas
Message from KoKo:
Sorry for posting this here guys, but I ain't got no home. My IP is banned at the site I created. Oh life, you
would!
Anyway, I just did something last night that makes me really upset with myself. Something I haven't done in ages and never want to do again. I stayed up
worrying and being pissed off about the actions of people that I have never met. People that mean nothing to my happiness. I haven't watched GH in over a
year (Casey still does every day). It may even be closer to two. I don't like posting at messageboards. I like to lurk at them occasionally and laugh,
get the info from them that I seek and leave without a second thought. Sometimes I check out old haunts just to see who is still there and how they are
doing, but that's about it. I don't have many online friends anymore. I like it that way. Life is so good this way. For me.
I'm not going to waste a day of my life on this type of stuff again. If Brooke and the rest of the girls really feel they deserve ownership of the
Canvas, they can have it (pending Yuku decision). Casey, Candy and I started the website and messageboard so long ago when it was a fun way for us to hang
out and for Casey and Candy to practice their webdesigny skills. I was too lazy to even learn that. Just own up to the fact though that you were shady and
stole it. You've had designs on it for quite some time. You could have created your own place, but you didn't. And when you took it, you took all our
powers away from us. Hardly the actions of benevolent people just trying to care for the poor little Canvas that was abandoned by its owners . Even if we
were the worst owners in the world and let the Viagra spammers run the board over that should have been our perogative because it was ours.
If the Canvas died because of our neglect, that's what should have been able to happen. Cause it was ours to neglect or to nourish. If Casey and I ever
left, our intention was not to give it to you.
I'm just not up for a elongated battle over this. I am only speaking for myself. We still do want to have our words with Yuku and Casey is free to say
and do whatever she wants. She's much more feisty than me. I hope Yuku listens to us, but who knows what will come of this. So I'm out until I get
word from Yuku. I want to go back to my life. They can have theirs.
But you do suck at life, Brooke & Co. (Yeah, I'm small town and I guess that makes me bitter! Obama '08!)
Koko
The Real Deal (from Casey herself)
I just wanted to clear up some misconceptions, put a timeline out there from Koko and I. I'd do it at the Canvas
but you know...I lost err "gifted" my keys.
- The Canvas moved to Yuku with no issues.
- Koko's last post was in February of 2008.
- Koko was in contact with Jeweltones, via her personal email not too long ago this year. Koko explained she'd be MIA awhile for family reasons.
- We were honest we didn't have time for the day to day activities, it was why we finally got moderators after years and years of going at it alone.
- I visited the board on a fairly daily bases, mostly the spoiler thread....OKAY I only had the spoiler thread bookmarked. The Spoiler Only one too....(Woops
greatest contribution EVER to The Canvas! Tongue ) But I did browse when time permitted.
- We didn't just discover the turnover, I've know since March 16. A few days after the announcement. (March 13 or 14 I believe)
- Here comes the part Koko hates....Never in a million years did I think there would be an abandonment clause, I thought Koko had "gifted" it to
them, cause truthfully my new job is my life and I barely even have time to talk to the coolest person I know, so while I was hurt and shocked at that time,
how else could they had gotten control right?
- I'll admit it, I couldn't deal with it. We were both pretty clear the half a dozen times that Brooke asked for the board, that we rather destroy it
than give it away. I was pissed. I fucked up by not saying anything to Koko. I was afraid I'd say something I'd regret. And as saddened as I was that
the Canvas was gone. Yeah I was sad, I was surprised just how sad I felt given that it rarely gave me any pleasure as of late. And by late I mean YEARS, it
was still ours, and I was quite sad. Yet if I'd have to choose, the Canvas over my Koko, I'd let that bitch burn to the ground. I'd throw kindle.
Smiley So I let it be……
- Koko having come home from a business trip yesterday, Sunday, text message me, wondering WTF was I thinking giving the board to Brooke et,al. Shockage ALL
around. Reaction Instant.
How we believe it happened?
Candy was the one who originally created the board in 2001. It was the first time we'd ever used Ezboard, and Candy created the user canvasliason and
then the community. We all then created at the local accounts with our names, candy, casey and koko. It's when we met a lot of you then, we posted ALL
the time. Eventually the whole Ezboard global user became an issue and we created CANVAS only accounts, like Canvas Admin, Canvas Publisher etc, and other
personal accounts because seriously who wants to post as the Canvas Admin on an OC board?
We never used canvasliason , never even gave it another thought. Over the seven years we've changed emails, purchased our own domains.....we reset, made
changes, keep on top of our personal and Canvas accounts...except one. The main one apparently. When you read the community profile, canvasliason was the
Owner and we were the Administrators. If Yuka even tried to make contact, by Brooke's prodding I'm sure, we believe canvasliason is the profile they
would have contacted and truth be told, we have no clue on where those emails would go. But they didn't come to us personally.
Even if they went through "legal" loopholes with Yuku, at the end of the day, Brooke and Amy NEVER contacted us at our personal emails that we
provided. They never called using the cell phone numbers we left with them to ask us our feelings on this matter.
Brooke & Amy continued to use their email addresses @thecanvas.tv. Which I still pay for monthly, clearly not abandoned. We still have the domain
thecanvas.tv up and running, also not abandoned.
Even after all of this....we have yet to receive an email from Brooke or Amy. But we have no problems getting emails of support from a lot of you here so
again. Big....huge...thank yous!
xoxo
Casey
PS: FTR Broke and Amy are only "financially responsible" for the Canvas because they took it from the people who were once "financially
responsible" for it!
