I got a copy of it last night, did anyone else get it since?

As the thread starter, I haven't even got an explanation of the deletion

Thats it! I'm writing to theregister.

Does this mean Neil has lost control to? Or did he delete it?

OK this could be a bit of a controversial post, but here goes.....

I don't know how old Frank is, but from the fact he mentions on his blog site he was finishing a Uni course I estimate under 25 years. I also assume from that he has never worked for a large corporation before (if worked in commerce at all).

It appears he was a bit naive in expecting to start work for ntl and be able to dictate not only what job he did but to also dictate how it was done. In a situation like this (i.e. another number on a large company salary sheet) you do what you are told, when you are told and you do not make decisions. You can put forward ideas but do not expect answers. Oh and you do not start grievance procedures against your boss !! One last thing..if you don't get on with your line manager, you are doomed. No question.

I'm afraid IMO Frank's position in ntl is now untenable, he has nowhere to go. He took on a particular role and that is now bolloxed and with it I very much fear will go .com also without him at the helm.

That is unless there are some very determined people in the right places who are of a mind to save it !!

I can assure you 100% that I did not delete/remove it.

I will post the thread later today (it's on my home computer).

here is the draft I my letter. Should I send it now or wait for more developements?

Quote:

I would like to write to inform you of new developments that have arisen since the article 'ntlworld.com disappears".
Although the site has been restored, it appears that NTL have suspended the editor Frank during the site outage. Frank, it seems was not told of this (I refer you to his blog: http://www.frankw.net/blog/)

As protest a few of the other moderators have refused to continue running the site. A thread about the subject was made by myself on nthellworld.com, however it has been deleted in the last few minutes (I do have a copy of the thread)
At this point, it is yet to be seen whether the suspension was a mistake as we have not had a statement from NTL.

Any tips, I'm no good at letters.

etccarmageddon · 15-10-2003, 10:01

as far as I'm concerned nthellworld.com no longer exists.

certainly not as a place for any sensible free from censorship discussion.

Do you still have your modding priviledges? Do you have a record of who deleted the thread???

There we go then.
nthellworld.com as we know it has been taken over.

It's all a bit chaotic over there at the moment and it's not a pretty sight, with members creating threads about AshG etc...

trebor · 15-10-2003, 10:28

From the moment NTL got hold of .com it was a doomed site.
does anybody really expect anything other than a disaster and a lot of angry annoyed people where ntl are concerned.
If anybody thought it would turn out any different you are daft enough to work for the company, so go and apply for a job.

I think it was all the comments about how much of an a****** AshG was that caused it to be deleted. To be fair there were a number of personal attacks againt the gen... person in question.

However, he appear's to be stating that the original topic will not be allowed to be discussed because it is contentious. i.e. Fracks internal dispute with NTL.

So I'm going to try and get a clear answer here

i don't know about that, it was handy to have people with connections to directly sort out problems.

So are you going to support Frank then and resign?

**Maggy** · 15-10-2003, 11:48
