Ghettopoly Update 3: Okay, I’m really getting sick of this, but here goes. The Ghettopoly site is up again, this time with a “Message to the Haters.” Very interesting!
Here’s the letter copied and pasted for the folks who are too lazy to click the link.
Hi,
As of Mon, 13 Oct 2003 16:43:30 -0700. Ghettopoly.com has been shut down by Yahoo.com with no warning. I have attached the Email I received from yahoo-inc.com ( see below ). To say that I am pissed off is an understatement. I have been using Yahoo store selling the same product for over 6 months now. I will use all legal resources to see that is will never happen again to anyone else. For the people who already placed their orders, please rest assure your orders are still coming to you as schedule. All of your orders have been already forwarded to my fulfillment house. We have temporary suspended taking any new orders. Once your order is shipped, we will send your a UPS tracking #. We are now just waiting on the games. Below is a delivery schedule I have compiled so you can reference your order # to.
Order # 4,500 to 11,000 will be shipped on or around 11/3/2003.
Order # 11,000 to 15,000 will be shipped on or around 11/15/2003.
Order # 15,000 and up will be shipped on or around Dec 12/10/2003.
Again I am sorry that I did not foresee this coming. I am not entirely sure why Yahoo has decided to shut down the website. I will be looking at other possibilities to see if I can get the site back up. Please let everyone you know what happened.
Regretfully,
David Chang
