BEING A JOURNALIST IS *HARD* [Author: lum]

Exhibit A: EQ Vault, considered by most to be the pre-eminent “straight news” EQ site, restored their website from a backup circa April 2000, which meant that until they noticed, the first story, dated 4/2000, was John Smedley’s infamous “We’re going to change the EULA to ban eBay and scan your hard drive for haxx0r stuph” announcement.

Exhibit B: Everlore, which for some strange and unknown reason thinks that John Smedley sent this letter out again yesterday. Things that make you go hm.

More news sites stealing their news from EQVault as we tally them.
