Introducing the Demotivational Magician Showcase

We've been at this for over 14 years and cannot stay quiet anymore.  The gloves are off.  We're naming names.  The evidence is compiled.  It is time to expose the people whose actions bring the community down.


Introducing the inaugural Demotivational Magician Showcase.


We'll be shining a spotlight on the unethical practices we've witnessed that are antithetical to building a community.  Examples include, but are not limited to:  knowingly misleading product representations, intellectual property theft, fake reviews, and grossly exaggerated accolades.

Worried that your name is going to be featured in the showcase?  It's not too late.  Smarten up and do better.

Regular readers will know that focusing on the negative is not what we do around here.  They should also know to check the date when they see a post that is out of character.  

Seriously though, check the date.  

If you were even remotely concerned your name would appear on such a list, however, do better.  That's no joke. 



[With thanks to Ryan Pilling for planting the seed by coming up with the showcase title!]
