    Default wonderful... inside edition on my forum

    I barely have time to check on my other forum, I checked it today and see "Inside Edition" wanting to interview my members.

    Is there any way to verify this information and also any way to prohibit them from discussing my forum and url on air? I really don't want my forum on Inside Edition.

    They said...

    Any way to find out who this is, if it's legit, should I delete it?

    It's not awesome in this case.... I had a feeling one day this would happen, but not this soon. From what I can tell so far, my members told them off, lol.

    They want to bump up their ratings by exploiting the subject of my forum, their show is doing that bad... hmmm...

    No. If anyone knows how to verify, let me know. I found 4 other posts by her by searching Google for her email. Seem's this is how they get stories online, leaving comments/posts.

    Funny, a member just told me that that Inside Edition lady is now PM'ing members. After seeing the reaction of my members being against her story, she's now decided to totally change the story they want to air so it benefits my members, total desperation.

    at least she'll SAY it's to the benefit of the members.

    I didn't know you had other forums. I want to go to other forums you own. I like you.

    Well King World is the product/distrubtion company for Inside Edition. www.kingworld.com

    I think it's awesome, of course if you wanted the publicity. Now you really got me thinking, what the heck is your other forum about?? Alien lifeforms chatting online? Are you one of them?

    Really you cannot stop them from talking about you on air BUT if they don't get any responses from your members they'll have nothing to feature thus won't air a story or go to one of your competitors and not mention you.

    There is also the possibility that if you ignore them, they may just decide to make up their own story.
    That would almost certainly be a bad thing.

    Many webmasters dream of an opportunity like this, but I can understand why you wouldn't want to take part in this opportunity.

    One thing you could consider...
    You might want to prepare some sort of statement and have it ready in case they decide to go ahead with some kind of story.

    TV journalism is ruthless, especially shows like that, which will exploit anything and anyone that will get them ratings. Be as prepared as you can for that eventuality.

    Now I'm watching their stupid show like a hawk and I don't know what my ladies have said to her about this reversed story but I'm pretty comfortable in the thinking that they'll tell her where to put it. haha... she will regret stepping in there, sometimes I do.

    I deleted her crap. My members put her in her place, she's not getting a story, she tried to spin it one way, then tried to spin it another, she basically wanted to twist the topic into Jerry Springer and put it on IE. My members were also expected to pay to go to NY to do the interview. :huh: Yet they'd (IE) benefit from the story. They're lucky I didn't take them up, cause I'd go on there and tell them off, which of course wouldn't get on air. They can take their Jerry Springer mentality and shove it.
