SubscribeWhat Happened to FuckedCompany.com?
Posted on Nov 26, 2007 under Blog |It’s kind of ironic that the site that used to be known as the dot com deadpool has become one itself. FuckedCompany.com used to be one of the most popular web sites on the web back in 2000 and 2001 when dot coms were dropping like pheasant in South Dakota. The site pointed visitors in the direction several news storys about layoffs daily.
Now it seems that the site owner doesn’t care about the site at all. Around 2003, the owner of the site Philip Kaplan started shifting his focus to his new venture, AdBrite. At one point, an ad was posted on the site for help posting articles. The downfall began. People soon stopped visiting the site for multiple reasons.
Not updated regularly
The site wasn’t being updated on a regular basis, sometimes being neglected for weeks at a time. Right now updates are being made it seems whenever the poster feels like it. Several old reports are be posted all at once, then a few days may go by and a few more are be posted.
Grammar has been terrible
Kaplan was one of the worst spellers I’ve ever seen, and that hasn’t changed with whoever is posting now. In an age with spell checker, there is no reason for such blatant disregard of proper spelling. It just makes the site look like it’s run by a 1st grader.
User interaction is gone
You used to be able to post comments about each posting. The site no longer has that feature. In fact, any of the message board links you try to access on the site are now broken.
So now FuckedCompany is for sale. The site could definitely be as popular again as it once was if somebody just simply ran it correctly.

What a pity it has died! In the current economic climate the tales of cuts and woes and corporate stupidity would be quite interesting.
