You never told me where you went. I guess the site closed down too quickly. You know how to reach me. Keep in touch. Hey Steph…

You never told me where you went. I guess the site closed down too quickly. You know how to reach me. Keep in touch.

If so, great! If not, then, I suggest you to start to search for them! And I would give you this advice: stop posting the kind of comments you just did, you will get famous yes, but not the way you think... Anyways, good luck! With the criticism and skepticism already built up toward your product, you'll probably need more than just money and talent to get it up and running! And oh, don't forget to pay us ex employees because we're gonna be watching you very closely! @Another Ex, I don’t think you were working for the dev team then, because it was pure pleasure to work with these guys!

I will be the most famous persons in montreal, you will see me. The board and employee of capazoo do not know how good the new site will be. All the investors and employees who push me out will suffer now, I now have a copy of the technology and you will get nothing, i will be the one to get rich, not the investors.

The second iteration was made from scratch starting in may 2007 and the first production release has been put up in september 2007. I don't know where you take your 56 weeks of work. Also, 20ish devs is innacurate since a lot of team members left or have been asked to leave since they were not fit for the position they had and few other joined in afterwards. Not that they were incompetent but mainly because the pressure was intense and not everyone could handle it and stay efficient. All in all, this project had great potential but has been brought to a ridiculous drama. For my part, I had a blast working there for 9 months and made new friends I look forward to work with in the future.
