Is that you Will? How are your Burnlounge sales going? Can I download movies and videogames from your site now? How about those great ringtones you promised by March of 2007?

Follow TJ’s links that used to gab about Burnlounge and see what she’s pitching now. Yep, she’s moved on to YTB. One pyramid scheme goes bust and they’re on to the next one… just like exterminating your house — the roaches just run next door.

Scott Elliott settled with the FTC and was hit with a fine over $117,000 but because of his inability to pay that amount he’ll pay $20,000.

For some reason I keep thinking back to the days of the old Burnlounge board when Rob DeBoer logged on and made fun of those of us who called Burnlounge a scam and said we were too poor to afford to call him personally.

Since my brothers-in-law and a lot of their extended family were involved in this scam I stayed on top of all that was going on and kept checking for updates. It’s funny how this thing died an even uglier death than any of us had ever imagined. I now regularly watch a show called “American Greed” that speaks on many scams, many of them high-dollar Ponzi schemes that make Burnlounge look like the small time scam that it always was. I knew a few zealots who had no clue what had happened but still said “Oh, well the business model is changing…” when you could tell they were actually thinking, “Wow, did I get scammed”.

I have to admit that it’s great to have been right all along. This website is probably among the most hilarious of them all in regards to the Kool-Aid Komments made. I guess TJ is in hiding. I really doubt any of the people who were rude or critical of EJ will be back anytime soon.

I still don’t know whatever happened to Will/Truth/Tester/Chris/1000-other-names. I guess he’s still trying to make that first billion. Gee… and they said my declaration of victory back in July of last year was premature. I also remember the whole bees and honey comparison made by lsk, who is to date STILL the only person I ever saw come back online to admit he was totally wrong (though he never did come back to post any of those numbers he promised in bold print).

Well Maz and EJ, I guess we win! You gotta love being right!

I guess it’s about time to do a follow-up on this since, after all, BurnLounge appears to have disappeared into the ether. When I go to their website, there’s big black letters that simply say:

“This Account Has Been Suspended”

One good thing about MLM’s — it’s easy to close up shop and move on as if nothing happened. If we didn’t know it had happened, maybe it really didn’t.

It was such a cult, wasn’t it? A complete cult. These people were either intentional scammers or completely brainwashed … and when it went poof and vanished, EXACTLY like we all said it would … they didn’t even come back to apologize to this EJ guy.

After all those posts up there, not even one of them came back and said: “My bad. You were right. Oops.”

God, I miss Burnlounge. It was so entertaining.

All you ever need to know about MLMs is in this thread. And all you need to know about people who participate can be seen in the fact that they didn’t have the integrity to come back and admit when we were all proven exactly right.

Good for you, EJ. I hope you save this post and thread and comments. It’s a monument to cult-thinking and group-stupidity.

And Jesus its funny to read now.

Too bad about the old Proboards board. I wish it was still up - I’d love to see what happened with some of the old die-hard Burnscam supporters.

I just checked and the Burnlounge site is gone, all of the fan sites are gone. It’s like the whole thing just vanished.

Too funny. All those people we argued with for two years ended up looking just as stupid as we knew they would.

I just checked and I’ve still got that old burnloungesucks@hotmail.com address. Drop me a line if you see this.

I wonder what happened to Will? Bet he’s already on to the next scam.

I still laugh about Burnlounge every once in a while. What a bunch of idiots.

Anyone want to come back and defend Burnlounge anymore? Now that it’s April 2008 will we be seeing that huge Burnlounge boom that was predicted at those boring meetings held in hotel conference rooms and basements?

Anyone still want to talk about how huge Burnlounge will be in 5 years? Anyone want to talk about RevImage or Vortexity or any other “business” the Burnscam leaders have moved on to?
