This is pretty hilarious. Take a look at the posting by the administrator at inside pool:
http://www.insidepool.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=17747&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=2&fpart=1

May I remind everyone that this forum is for Pool related discussions.

Please keep on topic and enjoy the discussions.

I wonder why they are having trouble with people not talking about "pool related discussion". Isn't the fact that honest people are being ripped off, people are not getting magazines they paid for, and no one on inside pool has commented about it on their Website a pool related discussion?
I can't beleive they had the balls to post that message. Even if Inside pool does make good in the future, I don't know if its worth going back to a company that treats its customers like this.

I don't care what kind of financial troubles or any other troubles you have, be honest with people and treat them with respect.

ITS BETTER THAN THAT. I WROTE SEVERAL ARTICLES FOR THEM. THEY WERE PUBLISHED AND I WAS PAID FOR SOME AND FOR SOME I WAS NEVER PAID.

SCREW EM.

INSIDE POOL IS ALOT LIKE SOME POOL PLAYERS I HAVE PLAYED. MAKE THEM POST UP, OR WE DONT PLAY.

I had a few of my comments deleted that were pertaining to getting the March issue on March 26. I said it sure was nice to read about pool on TV that I missed and reading old news. Made some other comments about starting a betting pool on when the next issue would be received.

I am now at 100% on magazine subscriptions. Years ago I subscribed to On the Snap, they took my money and I never got a magazine. The same is now happening to my subsciption of Inside Pool. I got the March issue and don't know if I will get April's. Was also promised a DVD that I am still waiting for.

I don't bother posting or reading that forum any more. The caption contest is not worth entering either.
 
If they aren't sending out stuff to people who pay for it, what are the chances of them sending stuff to people who win it?

I wouldn't suggest that I know what Inside Pool's situation is, but I think it's time to consider an indisputable truth about businesses on the brink of insolvency.

they will default on many outstanding obligations regarding goods, services, and money

There are many victims in the wake of such defaults, but the suggestion they have been ripped off or defrauded is unreasonable. They have simply suffered the consequences of dealing with a financially crippled business enterprise.

It is equally unreasonable to expect a business on its last financial legs to announce it to its employess, customers and business associates, although a huge enterprise having publicly traded stock can hardly hide it as there are Wall Street professionals paid to continually evaluate the financial condition of companies they follow. It's the Catch-22 of a failing business. Publicly announcing that you are financially strapped would make financing less available, in all likelihood expediting, rather than staving off, insolvency.

I do hope that Inside Pool will turn the corner to the point it will be able to meet all outstanding obligations, and I am very sympathetic to all in the middle of a bad expereince with them.

Still, to equate insolvency with dishonesty is a mistake.

IF they knew they could not fulfill their obligations WHEN THEY MADE THEM, they are engaging in dishonesty, period.

If they really thought they could fulfill their obligations when they made them, then you're right, it is bad, but not dishonest.

Based on the ex-employees' posts, I'd say they knew they could not do what they promised when they promised it, but I'm out here in the cheap seats and can't "see" much.

I, too, hope they can make restitution and grow to become a dominating force in this industry.

Due to their prominence and their obvious expenditures on private parties and giveaways during the Expo etc. in the past month or so while at the same time defaulting on orders I would have to say this isn't exactly the scenario that you are describing!

This must be something only highly educated old folks "get". :)
No insult intended.

The only Nero I know is the Nero Rom CD burning program :).

And, Rome burned? Was this on the news lately.:)

Regarding the Photo Caption Contest. I know for a fact that the winner of the Photo Caption contest does win a Viking Cue and they get it. Viking sends the cue directly to the winner each month. So please take advantage of this opportunity to win a free Viking Cue.
