Why? I think in the beginning stages it's damage control because "they" think they can contain it. At some point though, like in the case of Jason Jesse, it just goes viral and the industry can no longer ignore it. Jason's apology was a direct response to that SLAP thread once it went viral, scout signed up, it was all like clockwork.
I guarantee that is what is happening as we speak. 170 guests don't simply browse this place on a daily basis unless industry shit is going down.
In the case of the Og TNT thread, Priya came in there and made some very x2 heavy claims against TNT and his wife, claims that could severely damage them.
Notice she's online but not making any comments? Fishy no, especially considering how vocal she was in her initial accusations...something is keeping her quiet. If the beef was squashed by both parties, why would TNT need to sign up and why would Priya be watching this thread like a hawk?
