That's actually not true. MNS was originally a site to promote Dr Knight, then Dr Krakovsky and only later Dr Elist. Basically they shilled for whoever Dan and Chad (before they fell out and Chad went alone) had a business relationship with and did so, despite knowing the catastrophic results those Dr's were getting. So it wasn't simply an Elist shill site. It was a business run in order to exploit men and earn money for Dan and Chad.
I don't think you understand what a shill is in this context. A shill makes up fake accounts to promote a Dr's work and deletes posts of those who try to expose them and warn others, The shills literally earn money for recruiting patients for the Dr they are promoting.
No one affiliated with this forum has ever made a single shill post. And we've been going since 2011. There are plenty of threads where posters express their dissatisfaction with the results they got at the hands of our sponsors. Those posts aren't deleted. The only reason this forum exists, is because of our determination for there to be transparency within the cosmetic PE industry.
We don't hide the fact that Dr C is a sponsor. But then again we don't hide the fact there are 5 other sponsors on the forum, who are competing with Dr C for business. It would be a hell of a strange business model for a Dr to set up a shill account and then allow other Dr's to promote their work don't you think?
Skeptical One is free to allow anyone he likes become a forum sponsor and none of the current sponsors can do anything about it. But he chooses not to allow the likes of SLE to be sponsors here due to their appalling track record and all the devastation they've caused over the years. It would be completely immoral to allow someone like Dan Salas to profit from this forum and I assure you, Dan would dearly love to be a sponsor here. The same is true for Dr Loria and Elist. I promise you, SO like money as much as the next man and would benefit greatly from allowing them on board, but he doesn't. Maybe you should think about it instead of telling him "to quit acting like a 5th grader."
I don't think it's hard to imagine the kind of money Elist would pay for SO to shut this forum down. We aren't talking a few thousand dollars here. Do you or anyone else reading this seriously think Elist alone wouldn't pay in the hundreds of thousands to get rid of this site? In 2017 I was personally approached by someone claiming to be trying to broker a deal and there are other members on here who can confirm that. The numbers being mentioned were mind blowing. Yet SO didn't even consider it for a second, even though, at the time, the forum was costing him money and had done for the previous 6 years. I know every now and again he can be a bit abrasive, but at the end of the day, could you imagine just how few men would have done the same in his position? I'm not trying to guilt trip you, but by picking on SO's integrity, you couldn't have chosen a worse target.
To call this a shill site is simply incorrect. That's not an opinion, that's a fact.
