Cafepress and EZBoard

[andysocial]

This is hilarious. Cafepress runs a forum on EZBoard (questionable decision at best but whatever). This forum is "moderated" so the posts have to be individually approved by a CP employee. There was a 2-week period in October when no messages were approved, and the moderator eventually came up and apologized for not moderating the "previous week" (inaccurate) and they were just soooo busy they couldn't handle the forum moderation as well as their new promos. I realize that CP can't be a very large company, but they might be able to afford a couple IT folks, right? Now, there hasn't been a single new post or comment approved on that board since the 19th of November. My opinion: unmoderated forums. You can always go in and nuke individual posts or users if they cross the line, but now nobody is reading, even though plenty of folks are talking. Bizarre, I tell you.
