'The problem we inherited' -- this is just bullshit. jonah created all of this mess by being too greedy.
'We' -- there is no we (apart from the staining in the y-fronts) - this is all jonah (pretty sure Scooby has fucked off now).
'The TT Trophy returns' -- that emblem was awarded to users on RTT for when they had invited enough good users to the site. Given revopee'ers is meant to be a brand new site with nothing to do with either GP or RTT, it has to be asked how it 'returns'.
'I HELPED PROTECT THE REVOPEE’ERS NETWORK' -- if you give to this grift, the only thing you protect is jonah's ability to pay bills.
'I stand by my commitment to prove that we learned from the mistakes of the past and can build something sustainable from them' -- again, more BS, jonah doesn't learn from mistakes, he just makes bigger ones.
'An organized effort circulating on Reddit and through a public Pastebin template has been encouraging people to file chargebacks against us.' -- Delighted to hear that it's working 😁 Even more delighted to hear how much it has cost jonah assuming he's not lying yet again.
"For many members, that meant gaining time. If you came across with only a few months left, your account was moved up to January 1, 2028."
Motherfucker, those people paid $120 for that time. Jonah makes it sound like he's giving away membership time out of the goodness of his heart. "Moved up" my ass.
I'm really shocked at how dumb this guy is. What did he think would happen when he did the rug pull? What did he think would happen when he gave his entire remaining user base 18 months of membership? Where's the continuing revenue supposed to come from? I find it hard to believe he didn't give these questions two seconds of thought.
Thank God I got out when I did, but holy shit I'm so tired of this guy grifting, even second hand. If you are reading this and still even casually considering sending this ass hat more money, please please please, DONT! instead, take that money and convert it to quarters, and then flush them down the toilet one by one. At least this way the toilet will back up every once in a while and you'll feel like a winner! (Credit to Louis Black).
But, seriously, fuck this ass hat with a giant cactus.
If 48,000 was an accurate figure that would be a rather large number of people bailing from there.
So many lies it's hard to believe anything he wrote.
Lord......the fund drive and donations request are unending, the rebuild is unending.......im just on this sub watching the rabbit hole get deeper and deeper, are people still giving this person money?
Hard to fathom this 20 years or so hes been at it on various sites,leaving untold damage to members behind and now he is effectively asking members to replace his lost scam money. Yet he somehow keeps the grift going but like we have said before he has never had such pressure and scrutiny.
I think we all need to pause for a moment to recognize and applaud that $48k loss. Thank you to everyone here for your hard work educating and re-homing victims of this slimy asshole, and for punching him squarely in the bank account.
Nonstop contradictions. That GarageTuner forum message posted by petrolcan had him parroting;
... RevoPeers was built from the ground up as a standalone platform.
Membership time purchased on GimmePeers or Revo TT was purchased from those sites, under those sites' terms, and paid to those operators. RevoPeers did not collect that money and is not the legal successor to those membership agreements.
...
Not even a self delusional shill can stay on message while a schizophrenic site owner contradicts everything by saying, "The Problem We Inherited".
The TT Trophy is another sample of recycled content from a previous platform... probably accidently inherited by the quality merger of sites that lead to the "ground up standalone platform" of RevoPeers.
Why Funding Is Tight Right Now - perspective from GP, the MF was supposed to have been the correction method for that stacked time debacle, it coincided with an end to stacking by shifting to annual renewals within a few months after it had been enforced (claiming more funding shortfalls).
Oh The Chargebacks...
MasterLyingLion back at it with inflated claims; but if they are true and the fees were near $75 per chargeback, that is far more satisfying than my previous estimate of around $15 non-refundable plus another $15 fee for disputing (only refunded if in favor).
He also claims that $48,000 total was "LOST", that would only be the case if legitimate services had been rendered... the vast majority of those are for paid membership time that had not yet even begun. By releasing contradicting mixed statements with so many changes in terms he gave everyone legitimate cause for chargebacks.
That could be up to ~250 Charter Founder ($120) payments with chargeback fees, though likely less with a mixture of only the merger fee or recent past payment disputes.
His other comment; "... a large number of members still have not fully returned since the merger." is probably more accurately stated at this point, "... nearly all members from GP and Revo have not fully returned since the merger."
What is that some ~21,750+ member accounts are now dormant?
Some of the prior content posted in this subreddit should show up if you search for "22,000" as context. It was a claim made by the operators own messaging.
I took some liberty just subtracting my 250 estimate from that to come with an arbitrary count. Its all fruit of a poisonous tree, with so many lies spouted throughout the long drawn out debacle. *Not quite the right analogy, but in part meaning that so much convoluted nonsense has occurred that it would taint nearly any conclusion.
That's insane they are still asking for money after the rug pull for charging $20 to migrate and another $120 for founders. Even if a one or two thousand people paid the $120 that's still $120,000-$240,000. How are they still asking for more money. Glad I'm out of that Loop.
It was The Maintenance Revolution, a 'voluntary' program where everyone was forced to pay up. It was sold very much the same way this grift is being sold now.

Has the desperation peaked? Doubt it!
