Claymates Disappointed At New MOAF.com

Yesterday's premiere of the new Measure of A Fan drew a very lukewarm reception. Many Claymates are upset and disappointed that the site has chosen to become an American Idol website, yet still call themselves a place for Clay Aiken fans to gather.

Nonetheless, MOAF insists that it is still a very Clay Aiken centered website.

MOAF responded to some of these criticisms today saying:

Is this a Clay Aiken Site?
Of course it is! In order to keep it current, we're using technology that wasn't available to us three years ago -- and that includes automatic content updates. At the moment, we can't trust that all the automated content we receive on Clay will be 100% positive, so it all has to be screened. We've never been shy about posting all the news we could find on OMC, but lately -- some of it has been very malicious, and we can't risk that kind of thing automatically appearing on our site.

In the short term, we pulled data on other performers as a proof of concept.

What about the Media Gallery?

We draw the line there. We have 11,000+ media files that are ONLY of Clay -- we can't possible host videos of other performers, nor do we want to. The only "exception" we've made in the past are with MP3s of American Idol Contestant performances, and with Clay-related montages and fan events.

CDD recommends that you do not donate to MOAF until the site is completely up and running and Claymates can evaluate the worthiness of the site. MNClayFans.com, a previous co-owner of the site has split from the new site establishing its own site.
