CFL staff are so incompetent.

A CFL campaign staffer failed to pay $10 per year to renew the valuable domain ronpaul2008.com and let it expire. That domain was used for Ron Paul's 2008 presidential campaign and has thousands of sites and blogs linking to it...fortunately the folks at RonPaul.com acquired it....if the domain had fallen into the wrong hands, people making a search for

Ron Paul

on Google could have been directed to a Ron Paul hater site, a porn site, etc.

Yes, we recently acquired RonPaul2008.com. The domain was previously controlled by a former Ron Paul campaign staffer who apparently abandoned it and allowed it to expire. The traffic to RonPaul.com has increased notably. In the wrong hands RonPaul2008.com could have done a lot of harm; the domain is a true search engine powerhouse that would have immediately outranked all other Ron Paul sites (including RonPaul.com). I believe we were very fortunate to find ourselves in the right place at the right time.

Thanks for your interest - you're the first (and so far the only) person to take notice. :)

Regards,

Tim

Yeah, and they also just up and left the RonPaul2008dotcom YouTube channel. That channel has 40,000+ subscribers and they never sent out a message to the subscribers notifying them of the CampaignForLiberty channel. At the least, they could have uploaded a video or made the main video that loads a CFL video so that folks would know where the CFL channel is. A large chunk of that 40,000 would have subscribed to the CFL channel. And while we're on the topic of YouTube, I've brought up before that CFL easily qualifies for YouTube partnership. Why they do not do this is beyond me. This would allow them to post full length videos of speeches by Ron, Woods, and others. Instead, they do the crapy part 1, 2, etc.

They also forgot about the Facebook Ron Paul page...Now it has some activity but it was dormant for 15 months
 
Certainly not the last time the top staff at the C4gop are going to fuck up. if Medina and KBH got the exact same answers on their survey what does that tell you about its effectiveness. the Buck fiasco, letting domains go, not updating networking sites.....


watch this thread will fill up with people defending the C4gop before long.

in before petar calls it our sister org
 
C4L is our sister org in the sense that we share a legitimate purpose.

If they fuck up we need to call them on it, and if we fuck up, we need to be called on it.

I think "C4GOP" sounds like ignorant slander, but if KBH and Medina are getting the same "liberty quotient" on that test, then I can admit that is pretty discouraging.

These other little web blunders are discouraging as well, but I'm not going to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

C4L is still a great org.

the problem with Kay Bailout's answer is everyone of us knows what she has voted for in the past. ACTIONS speak louder than Words

They screwed up big time by letting ronpaul2008.com expire
 
Somehow I doubt the Ron Paul family members employed by the CFL are concerned about losing their jobs over this (or anything).
 
Somebody should do more facebook updates and upload some videos to RonPaul2008 channel on youtube.... so many untapped resources...
 
RonPaul.com also owns the official YouTube. Is that why?

This website (could be one guy) has a lot of power now.
