MOSR dead!?
Hi all. This is my first topic, so be gentle. I posted it in here because:
a) This is the only thread I go to.
b) I like you guys.
c) This might be fun.
Ok, I went to MOSR, and they are completely offline?? What do you think happened?? Were they pulled by the Mighty Apple Legal Team?? Or did they die due to unnatural server crashes.
Discuss.

They're not very good at it.
There are mailing list, database, server, domain problems, etc. etc. every week.
don't DIY if you can't do it.
dumbasses
<strong>I have said this all along, MOSR is actually run by the Taliban -- how else can explain the pure bullsh*t on that site -- and now that Kandahar has fallen the servers have been destroyed.
</strong><hr></blockquote>
That is my second choice. I agree with Jonathan....incompetence is my vote. They freakin charge for that mailing list or whatever....does anyone get it? (Reader Sponsors is what I meant).
NeoMac, what do mean serverS? Like they can afford more than one? As if that kick-ass Performa with CD-ROM drive didn't bankrupt them.
<strong>So much hate for MOSR here. You'd think we were posting to a rival site or something. </strong><hr></blockquote>
It's just that we're the better rumor site (when AI's actually got new rumors).
Let's all pray for bad things to happen to them.
In the end, however, MOSR just gives the same thing that coming here does. Ryan, Dorsal, Kormac, Kelix et al? in your heart you know they are our favorites. A lot of it is BS, but its fun and sometimes it can make you hope & dream for the future. Once in a while they get lucky. If nothing else, they give us someting to think, talk and bitch about. Hell, maybe sometimes they even give Apple ideas.

<strong>I'm all for good rumor sites, but MOSR is just bad, bad, bad. They couldn't get their shit together in a bathroom for christ's sake...
</strong><hr></blockquote>
LOL. Good one.
<strong>You should have paid your sponsorship fees to keep it going. Who are you going to bitch about now? MOSR gets unfairly slammed sometimes. They never get credit when they are right. Remember last spring Ryan predicted that Apple would introduce a new digital device at an Apple event. Sounds like they nailed the iPod. Sure they didn't get too specific about what it would be, but then we are still arguing over what it really is. If I remember correctly, they actually predicted more devices to follow. Didn't Schilller do the same at the iPod intro?

LOL, you're not any better at facts than Ryan Meader. Unless you are him of course.
P.S.- To correct the only other fact in my post? Schiller predicted the upcoming device would be the first of many at the financial report the week before the iPod was introduced. He did not say this at the iPod press conference.

MOSR = incompnetent
MOSR is incompetent because they run their own server on Mac OS X Server (allegedly) which is hardly prime-time as a real UNIX server (ask anyone who is trying to get it all to work as a real UNIX server)?
Wasn't it AppleInsider who posted incredibly WRONG rumors almost as the holy gospel many times and never recinded them or ever corrected themselves. Yeah MOSR is out there, but at least we don't treat it as the near-truth as do many with AI.
Wasn't it AppleInsider which was hosted on a G4 Cube by some drug-addled souphead who "forgot" to pay *his* ISP bill and whacked AI into oblivion?
Yeah, AI is the kettle calling the pot black eh?
The most unpopular people are usally the ones speaking the truth.
