Thanks :) 

I'm sorry for what happened to you over on GAF.

The problem with GAF is that folks from certain places within the industry frequent the site and they don't want you to give out the information.  

I'm sure you already realize this but the mods/evilore were obviously under a lot of pressure to keep certain unflattering information secret. 

This is one of the only media industries where that practice is even acceptable.

Therefore those mods were in a unique situation.  The real problem though is that they lied on you.

Again, I am sorry you had to go through that and then reading what you posted about lengths you went to... its a real shame what happened. 

But I literally have permission from NPD to give out this information this month...thanks to my NPD contact.......who they banned -_-

Is there a limit to what or how much you can share? It seems like all the insiders (coincidentally you seeming to be the only exception) speak in riddles and rhetoric when they share numbers. Using obscure shorthand, responding to user questions instead of outright posting numbers, posting unlabeled charts, etc. I imagine NPD would find out regardless since it's the same usual suspects sharing in the same way at the same place month after month. 

 

Does NPD allow only limited amounts of info or do they simply not know who cream, john harker, zhuge, etc. are and these leakers just try to stay out of the spotlight by regulating their leaks?
