User:RichardHMorris

Just a brief profile of RichardHMorris in relation to Wikipedia - the username relates to my old ezboard account to avoid any confusion as to who I am.

I primarily keep a watch on the Wikipedia entries for Yuku and Ezboard as a user of ezboard for a number of years before being let down very badly by them by May 31, 2005 / June 1, 2006 ezboard data loss, when it became clear that over a year's data along with all the claimed backups on a board I was an Admin for had been lost by ezboard. After asking awkward questions of them following a series of failed promises, I was banned from ezboard and subsequently branded by ezboard, Inc. as "actively seeking to destroy ezboard/yuku". This is not true: I am merely attempting to ensure that accurate information about ezboard and Yuku is in the public domain, which means that I sometimes cross swords with their staff who appear to be attempting to use Wikipedia for free advertising, in contravention of the editing guidelines and Spam policies, such as "Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Promotional articles about yourself, your friends, your company or products; or articles created as part of a marketing or promotional campaign, may be deleted in accordance with our deletion policies."

As one of my jobs is Internet-related, I tend to spend a lot of time online and have an active interest in development, operating a number of vBulletin and phpBB message boards and WordPress, Movable Type and LiveJournal blogs.
