Who is Lobo? What he is doing THERE?

lagereek · « **Reply #1 on:** November 16, 2010, 07:06 »

He is in fact one of the nicest guys at IS. Apart from that he is the sole owner and governor of the APPLE. Corp.

Lobo isn't actually a contributor (unless he has another alias), so has nothing to lose with the current/proposed changes.
Most (not all) of the other admins are also contributors, so I guess are as p*ssed off about the latest shenanigans/disasters as the rest of us. Some are also buyers, and similarly are no doubt as hacked-off wearing in that capacity as other buyers. There are a couple of admins posting in the Vetta/Agency forums, but other posts are very few and far between.
PinkCottonCandy has been made a moderator to replace the much-missed Rob (Sylvanworks) who resigned as Moderator, being too gentlemanly to voice his reasons abroad, but I'm sure the timing wasn't unrelated. However, so far PCC seems to have been posting in a personal capacity, so maybe she's 'in training', or maybe has a certain 'start date' or something. That's pure speculation on my part.

How bizarre, next you'll be telling us the head of accounts can't count or that 'Scout' is blind

Thank god the person in charge of the website knows what they're doing!

Brilliant!!!! I hadn't actually realised that. So when he comes on this forum with the same pompous belittling attitude he has on his forums patronising and generally being obnoxious to members he actually doesn't have any handle on what it's like being a microstock photographer or illustrator at all. I can't get over it. You have to admire his testicular fortitude if nothing else.

NB: Like I said, he may be a contributor under a different member name. I have no idea.

Just another corporate twit probably whose anger stems from still being a forum moderator at this point in his life.

I know I've said it before, but it's worth repeating.
Lobo is a nobody.
A forum moderator, an employee, (one of the first to go), who knows not much about anything, except to endlessly repeat 'take it to support'.

While the monster thread was taking place, the guy never slept for 3 days. I used to imagine him, dressed in his smelly pyjamas, in the dark, unshaven, thriving of the drama.
He was the only moderator of the thread and he loved it. Every single moment of it.
It's power.
Given to weak men, not strong enough, not smart enough to handle it.

He thinks he's cool. Totally.
But he's too old and he's trying too hard.
He also dreams of wolves.
But there's not enough courage in that man to satisfy a Chihuahua.
A fake.

There's one thing Lobo does very well though.
It's a long story and I'm not going to go into that because I know he reads my posts and I don't want to influence him.
I want him to keep at it.
Way to go Lobo!
The face of IStock.

I find Lobo's attitude off-putting sometimes, but I think these are some pretty ridiculous comments to be making.

Jo Ann Snover · « **Reply #14 on:** November 16, 2010, 12:34 »

Lobo may not be anyone's favorite admin, but he's not a suit (and as far as I know, not a photographer either).

He and Bruce were in a band together, the Bittermen. Some more discussion here.

Well I guess that explains why he's got the job of moderating a forum on a subject he knows nothing about. At least it makes sense now.

I think many of the ludicrous things wich some are saying here tell far fore of themselves than of Lobo.

lisafx · « **Reply #18 on:** November 16, 2010, 12:45 »

I can see how Lobo has angered a lot of people, and I'm not about to defend all the forum bannings and general surliness. Probably if I was still posting in the Istock forums I would have been banned by now too.

But I just have to say that Chris has been extremely helpful and friendly when I have contacted him with some problems over the years.

I have said it before - I don't think Lobo is acting on his own accord. I think he's following orders from above. He's a good guy in a bad situation, and I suspect his irritability is a result of being torn in two directions.

Would not be AT ALL surprised if he follows Rob out the door some time in the next year or so.

Actually, I agree, on both counts.

Ouch! Cold! I almost feel sorry for the guy. Almost. To me, he's just a loser.

You're right. I'm sure it's just coincidence that the best candidate for the job happened to be in a band with the CEO.
