The Canvas Message Board was deviously stolen from Casey & Koko who created it in the first place.
Some might say, it's just a soap opera messageboard, but for me this is no longer about a soap couple or a TV show. The board may have been dedicated
to "Liason" (Jason & Elizabeth on General Hospital), but theft is theft. It is not right.
Casey & Koko deserve to have the site they build with their own hands, given back to them. Period, It should not matter how much time they were able to
spend at the site, or who they entrusted to care for it. The point is the website belongs to them. They have poured thousands of dollars of their
hard-earned money into it from 2001-2008. It is Casey & Koko property, their creation.
Maybe it is only those who have owned their own site who understand the work that is involved.
I am disappointed in two women who were already basically running things for Casey & Koko, who STILL felt that they had to STEAL the site so they could
call themselves the owners and exert power and control over the community.
Read the TRUTH for yourself.
I just wanted to clear up some misconceptions, put a timeline out there from Koko and I. I'd do it at the Canvas but you know...I lost err
"gifted" my keys.
- The Canvas moved to Yuku with no issues.
- Koko's last post was in February of 2008.
- Koko was in contact with Jeweltones, via her personal email not too long ago this year. Koko explained she'd be MIA awhile for family reasons.
- We were honest we didn't have time for the day to day activities, it was why we finally got moderators after years and years of going at it alone.
- I visited the board on a fairly daily bases, mostly the spoiler thread....OKAY I only had the spoiler thread bookmarked. The Spoiler Only one
too....(Woops greatest contribution EVER to The Canvas! Tongue ) But I did browse when time permitted.
- We didn't just discover the turnover, I've know since March 16. A few days after the announcement. (March 13 or 14 I believe)
- Here comes the part Koko hates....Never in a million years did I think there would be an abandonment clause, I thought Koko had "gifted" it to
them, cause truthfully my new job is my life and I barely even have time to talk to the coolest person I know, so while I was hurt and shocked at that
time, how else could they had gotten control right?
- I'll admit it, I couldn't deal with it. We were both pretty clear the half a dozen times that Brooke asked for the board, that we rather destroy
it than give it away. I was pissed. I fucked up by not saying anything to Koko. I was afraid I'd say something I'd regret. And as saddened as I was
that the Canvas was gone. Yeah I was sad, I was surprised just how sad I felt given that it rarely gave me any pleasure as of late. And by late I mean
YEARS, it was still ours, and I was quite sad. Yet if I'd have to choose, the Canvas over my Koko, I'd let that bitch burn to the ground. I'd
throw kindle. Smiley So I let it be……
- Koko having come home from a business trip yesterday, Sunday, text message me, wondering WTF was I thinking giving the board to Brooke et,al. Shockage
ALL around. Reaction Instant.
How we believe it happened?
Candy was the one who originally created the board in 2001. It was the first time we'd ever used Ezboard, and Candy created the user canvasliason and
then the community. We all then created at the local accounts with our names, candy, casey and koko. It's when we met a lot of you then, we posted ALL
the time. Eventually the whole Ezboard global user became an issue and we created CANVAS only accounts, like Canvas Admin, Canvas Publisher etc, and other
personal accounts because seriously who wants to post as the Canvas Admin on an OC board?
We never used canvasliason , never even gave it another thought. Over the seven years we've changed emails, purchased our own domains.....we reset,
made changes, keep on top of our personal and Canvas accounts...except one. The main one apparently. When you read the community profile, canvasliason was
the Owner and we were the Administrators. If Yuka even tried to make contact, by Brooke's prodding I'm sure, we believe canvasliason is the profile
they would have contacted and truth be told, we have no clue on where those emails would go. But they didn't come to us personally.
Even if they went through "legal" loopholes with Yuku, at the end of the day, Brooke and Amy NEVER contacted us at our personal emails that we
provided. They never called using the cell phone numbers we left with them to ask us our feelings on this matter.
Brooke & Amy continued to use their email addresses @thecanvas.tv. Which I still pay for monthly, clearly not abandoned. We still have the domain
thecanvas.tv up and running, also not abandoned.
Even after all of this....we have yet to receive an email from Brooke or Amy. But we have no problems getting emails of support from a lot of you here so
again. Big....huge...thank yous!
xoxo
Casey
PS: FTR Broke and Amy are only "financially responsible" for the Canvas because they took it from the people who were once "financially
responsible" for it!
