All hail the Niraliban

The Bottom Line ...

I was going to come on here today to write a review of Castlevania Chronicles for the PlayStation. I was going to announce that even though I wouldn't be able to keep up on comments, I was still going to come back into a regular reading and writing habit of Epinions. I was excited at the prospect of having found a way to balance Epinions with everything else in my life, especially school. But then I checked my dedicated Epinions email account, and read this piece by Imokliel:

If you haven't heard about the new changes here at Epinions that are going to take place starting Nov. 1, take a second to visit the URL above. If you don't feel like doing that, then I'll just straight-up tell you. We won't be getting any more e-royalties, we won't have our content partners any longer, and we won't be able to update our own reviews.

This overwhelming knowledge makes one phrase fill my mind: "All hail the Niraliban." Take away the beyond-laughable income we receive from this site, and make it so that if we want to change our reviews, we have to view them, copy the text, delete the review, start a new review on the same topic, make the alterations we desire, redo any HTML tags we made use of, and then post the updated review once more, thus losing any ratings it previously had. I, for one, won't stand for this. I won't give in to the desires of the self-revealed e-terrorist Nirav, the great, mighty, and omniscient head of Epinions, by living under his tighter-than-ever virtual yoke.

I was going to make a return to this site, and was looking forward to what I thought would be years of enjoyment, like the 2½ months I spent here regularly this summer, from the time I was hooked on it by Annexation to the time college started back up. But the years turned out to be days, and my triumphant return has changed into a resounding F*CK YOU NIRAV. I won't be your b^tch any longer. And I hope that when the once-mighty Epinions, undermined by your own greed and lack of respect for us, the writers, comes crashing down, that you are forced to wallow in helpless bankruptcy, eventually turning to life on the street. And I hope that some cold winter night, as you lay under a pile of newspapers in a dark and dirty alley, the very same dog that you allowed your brainchild (Epinions) to blow comes and relieves you of your raisin-sack testicles, if you even have any.

Thanks for nothing, Nirav.

To all of my friends here at Epinions, it was short-lived, but it's been fun. I wish you all the best in life. And if for some reason you know what Nirav looks like, and you happen to see him in real life one day, kick him in the balls for all of us. But don't be too hard on his rocks... save them apples for the dog to finish off.

Fallen Jesus-Boy out.
