Looking into the open-mic chat fiasco, i saw some of the many hilarious threads on the old Cove about things we laughed about when lg15/katemodern were live. What was your favorite creator fiasco? I'll start with a minor one, because I noted that my final sig at the old cove is "Can you pass me the Tampax?" -- a reference to the awful product placement they did in a KateModern video. with cove 2.0 gone and the lg15 forums gone, and bebo gone, the only discussion thread worth linking to is on lg15today: www.webseriestoday.com/2007/09/false-alarm-katemodern.html

I just reread a 22 page transcript from a private chat from 10/2007 between UGC creators and Miles. It was just as the new site was launching but before UGC accts and widgets were introduced. Mostly we were complaining about the TOS. As I'm reading it, it looks like what EQAL intended to do with UGC is sort of create the very first MCN. The problem though is they were completely resistant to collaboration and/or integration. It's no wonder they went with a social network model. Still, I feel as if all the pieces were there. What a missed opportunity... edit: moved this from artwork thread, seemed more appropriate...

TSIY was another MCN attempt, I guess. And after TSIY2 ended, Miles claimed the site would be back and the new TSIY would allow for stories of any type, not just lg15. --- Another BLUNDER: posting an open directory of lg15 videos on hymnofone.org -- including one video not yet uploaded from taylor, who was not even confirmed as canon yet, and many videos with alternate names. alissabrooke.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=plot&thread=835&page=1

In the chat Miles is so reluctant to "canonize" anything UGC and not open to use official accounts for anything other than what they produced. It's interesting how adamant they were about the site and having a presence off YT which is where MCNs are heading today. I wonder if EQAL had stuck with the premise if it would have become the equivalent of Maker for scripted shows?
