Rhetorical Questions
Feb 6 2010, 4:18 PM EST | Post edited: Feb 6 2010, 4:18 PM EST
This post has no intention of inflaming anyone, but to ask some questions that have arisen since June and November 2009 time frame. They require no answers whatsoever, but to point out the lack of communications.
1. Whatever happened to the Super Painter's program? No words from them in a long time except "The rest is secret".
2. Whatever happened to the Wikis in Education wiki? There is no Ambassador.
3. The Wetpaint Pressroom only updates have been to the removal of some employees pics. No news, I guess is better than no news.
4. Is the project in Stealth another Interactive TV Guide, where fans not friends will drive the future of Wetpaint. Will it be a venture Wetpaint will take to bring aboard more TV fan sites of their own, similar to their Branded partners now?
5. Promises of having a newer interface or features to the "little guy" wikis, are not being seen. Are they dead?
6. What happened to the create wiki content for Wetpaint and get paid for it, that took place in November
? Was that project completed? It seemed to fall off the WPC home page and never to be seen again.
7. Is there only one person representing Wetpaint on Wetpaint Central. All the other moderators and admins from WP seem to be just there on the member's list.
8. The Wetpaint contests almost has all of the dirt put onto its grave now.
9. Will there be anymore surprises for us in the upcoming weeks?

I'll answer as many of these as I can.

1. The Superpainters program ceased to exist after Michael was laid off in July.

2. The Wiki is still there, but no staff members actively contribute. Obviously, education is not Wetpaint's focus right now.

4. I can give some information about this via PM.

5. All of Wetpaint's developers are working on the stealth mode project right now.

6. Either they have as much content as they need, or Jeremy doesn't think it needs to be featured on the WPC home page anymore.

7. Some of them occasionally drop by, but Jeremy is the only one who is required to help out here.

9. The stealth mode project, I assume.

The were Rhetorical Baby_Apple, that means the answer is obvious and therefore does not need to be answered. But i've been gone, so what is the Stealth Mode Project? 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I'm aware of that. In this case I believe the word rhetorical was being used sarcastically.

I can't tell you about it, sorry. Do you find this valuable?

I think "Stealth Mode" could mean some sort of "Private Site" I don't know. Just my guess. Do you find this valuable?

It just means that Wetpaint isn't talking about it to the public. Do you find this valuable?
