		<title>Signs of Desperation at Yuku?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Looks like KickApps want to see some return after they&#8217;ve been sold a pup.
The Yuku Support Forum [sic] is now displaying ads. like there&#8217;s no tomorrow. And they&#8217;re not just coming from one source either. Adding into the mix all the tracking services they&#8217;re using to Yuku code and the up-and-down-more-than-a-whore&#8217;s-drawers Yuku servers, is it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Foot Shooting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Almost two years ago, I posted about the big push by Yuku staff to get users to switch browsers to Firefox so they could enjoy the best Yuku &#8220;experience&#8221;, i.e. fewer crashes and failures, because they didn&#8217;t appear to be testing on the most popular browser out there. They also wrote a Firefox extension to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yuku Pricing and Ad. Revenue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If ever there was a company whose senior management&#8217;s witterings were to be treated with a pinch of salt, it was Yuku under the leadership of Robert Labatt.
When he made the famous &#8220;better than free&#8221; launch video at DEMOfall 2005, he claimed that Yuku was better than free because they shared advertising revenue with the community [...]]]></description>

		<title>February 2008, so a short month&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;in terms of page views and Yuku pricing.
Our self-hosted vBulletin board&#8217;s stats. for February 2008 saw successful requests for pages at 675,353.
According to Yuku’s pricing formula, ads. are shown on topic pages and not the summary pages, so it&#8217;s difficult to estimate completely accurately what a like-for-like cost would be &#8211; I wonder if that&#8217;s a conscious [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Lies from Yuku</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s funny how the staff at Yuku just can&#8217;t help but tell bare-faced lies. Presumably this is now part of KickApps&#8217; focus on Customer Service&#8230;
The Usual Suspect this time is &#8220;Let It Rip&#8221; Alison &#8211; no surprise &#8211; who seems to get her facts completely wrong for some reason.
Someone decides to have a well-written moan [...]]]></description>

		<title>Migrated Yuku Board &#8211; Now Up But&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; no apparent way for an Admin to change the status of a member to a Moderator or Admin. or indeed to demote someone.
The Yuku Help wiki is of no use whatsoever, needless to say.
And yes, the board was indeed down all day again.

		<title>Our Yuku Board &#8211; Still Down</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well it looks as though Yuku &#8211; powered by KickApps &#8211; is living up to expectations.
Our old ezboard, migrated to Yuku on Saturday (but not working properly then) was down most of the day on Monday and came back up for a short while in fully-functioning form. Well, I assume it was working because we [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the Subject of our Forced Migration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; to Yuku, the fabulously-complicated pricing model is further explained here. One thing caught my eye:
&#8220;This is not fair. I paid on ezboard for 365 days, I had 200 days left, my board migrated and now you&#8217;re replacing my days with page views? This was not the deal I signed up for.
The deal has not [...]]]></description>
