Post your Bad Experience With Joel

It seems that Joel has pissed off more than his share of people on this board and in our industry. I think it's time people know what a scumbag this guy is.


I've got a BOOK i can write on this guy.

I wouldn't know where to start. Here are a few:

-He use to double cross Jeff and Gavin by giving people higher % on the busty amateurs revshare in exchange for traffic to his webmaster resource site. I'm sure Jeff and Gavin had no idea about that.

- he loved using his BA power and threatening to close accounts. When you called him on his bluff and said "Go ahead close it" he'd say no but watch yourself. I'm sure a few old webmasters will know what I'm talking about.

- When BA closed he had the webmaster list that he was shopping around. It was funny how he was shopping it around for 4 or 5 different prices. Lying to every single prospective buyer.

- He thought that if he got daizie to call me I'd melt and hand over the domain. That's an insult of my intelligence.

- He's continually tried to get us to stop promoting his main competition -- BigNaturals and Scoreland. Both of those sites are very solid and are money in the bank. Joel has done nothing but try to run down their name to us. Bringing up ludicrous claims and made up a number of lies regarding them.

- From posts and emails I've read he treats every webmaster like shit and is two faced with everyone. The minute you turn your back he is talking shit about you and trying to make a buck by exposing you.


I've got a bunch more. I thought these would get the ball rolling. So let's hear your Joel story.
