I see that Apotheosis/Sysop is still trying to confuse old forum members with his layers of lies, which he obviously can't keep up on anymore.
This is a summarized version of the events that has happened, for reference.
Regarding the double identity as Sysop and Apotheosis, why didn't he disclose this right away upon purchasing old forum and created a second persona? It is because he wants to promote certain Doctors in certain ways and profit off it.
1) Promoting Dr Paley
Initially Sysop-Apotheosis was going to promote Dr Paley heavily, that's why Apotheosis went on National media and did the interview where the particular Doctor was name drop heavily.
You can also find this gem on Dr Paley listing on old forum Recommended Doctor Page
" These prices are ONLY available to members of the old forum website, and you must mention Make Me Taller when booking your surgery to get the old forum disctount."
Basically that is their method for Apotheosis getting paid by Dr Paley everytime somebody mention he/she was from Make Me Taller.
2) Salesman for Betz Nail
Through being a patient of Dr Betz, Apotheosis decided to also became a salesman (see a pattern emerging here?) for the Betz nail.
That is why Dr Betz has been heavily featured on old forum since 2011, just compare the amount of Dr Betz diaries there to prior to that year. Not to mention the censorship when the patients start complaining about the broken nails and complications.
3) Making LL Affordable
Now the problem for Apotheosis/Sysop is that both of the above Doctors are EXPENSIVE. That means most people couldn't afford the surgery which means not enough $$$ for our dear salesman.
So he was hooked up with Crazy+6 and Dr Sarin, to promote a cheaper India surgery which was affordable. More patients = more $$$. They convinced dozens of desperate and naive patients, thus Sarin became the popular Doctor on old forum .
The problem came when
- Patients started complaining openly about the questionable quality of medical care and attitude of Dr Sarin. Sysop-Apotheosis tried his best to downplay it, spinning all kind of BS excuse. He promises several times that Sarin would improve the aftercare, or simply stated that you get what you paid for.
- Sarin got greedy and wanted to manufacture his own HLN nail from India, thus cutting Sysop/Apotheosis out of the profits. Now that's a real problem.
4) Last chance for Sarin
Sysop/Apotheosis decided to visit India for two reasons
- Find other Indian doctors to replace Dr Sarin, Harry/Sunny had already done the groundwork and were jumping ship, because they were not happy with how much Sarin's was paying them.
- Discuss his financial dispute with Dr Sarin face to face, because he had money riding on this.
All the other stuff about checking out the guesthouse was just BS. It was Sysop/Apotheosis wanting to convince Dr Sarin that it would be in their interest to keep their shady partnership going a certain way.
5) Sarin and the Recommended List
This went south, so Sysop/Apotheosis decided that he was no longer willing to cover up for Sarin's complains, removing him from recommended list and openly criticize the Doctor (finally). The post ended with the footnote that Dr Sarin could still return to the "Recommended List" if he made a few changes.
This was Sysop sending a message to Sarin that the door was open to resuming the partnership if it could be changed to benefit his pockets. If not, Sarin was no longer going to be the popular Doctor on old forum .
6) Sysop-Apotheosis Exposed
Something unexpected happened in this period, Sarin patients discovered that Sysop is Apotheosis, after seeing him in person for his trip to India.
Then news of the fake diary by "the Phantom" and Sysop financial investment in Betz nail start surfacing. Members started asking questioning and were silently banned.
On the site, Sysop played it off as banning the IP address of the guesthouse, in reality everyone had their accounts secretly banned.
Even now, Sysop attempts to confuse old forum members by claiming anold forum was started because of Sarin removal, which is another lie.
The first diary and sticky post available here highlighted the problems with Dr Sarin's service and the previously unknown complications of his patients.
7) The Replacement Doctor
Dr Sringari was chosen to "replace" Dr Sarin. Unfortunately nobody had heard of Doctor Sringari, who would take such a risk?
Therefore the fake diary of "The Phantom" was created with the full blessing of Apotheosis/Sysop and help of Harry/Sunny/Crazy+6.
That included classic gems such as having LL Surgery in July and then leaving in September because his "visa expired", claiming the Doctor was highly experienced with dozens of LL patients already.
Truth is, the Doctor Sringari is specialized in knee surgeries and sports injuries, had no specialized training in LL.
Would anyone feel comfortable recommending a family member or friend to do LL, knowing this?
But Sysop/Apotheosis is concerned about money, so he is willing to risk people's ability to walk by sending them to inexperienced Doctors, like guinea pigs in a experiment for his own benefits.
He also personally PM Harken and LL ForumorLife to recommend that they go to Doctor Sringari, abusing his position of trust as the self proclaimed "expert" on LL. This was to get people interested and believing in Dr Sringari as LL Doctor.
LL ForumorLife was asking for money a few weeks before he did surgery, yet he managed to raise several thousands USD, which is a huge sum for India. That post may have been deleted, there's screenshots captured of it.
8 ) Why I Leave old forum and Will Never Return
Around this period, me and several old forum members became disgusted with all of the above happening. We commented about the situation openly or privately. This was when it became obvious that Sysop would resort to spying on PM and impersonating your accounts to reply.
He started banning people who were aware of the situation and discussing it, trying his best to hide the truth from being exposed. Then people started to use PM to spread the information, thus the banning of PM on old forum unless you were a "certified member".
We could see that legitimate LL information was no longer the purpose of Make Me Taller forum, the level of hypocrisy and BS had reached a limit.
Putting patient's at risk with unqualified doctor, fake diary, fake persona, shady promotion tactics.....all for the sake of personal profits. Preying on the naivety and desperation of others.
That's a pathetic way to live, no matter what amount of money you have.
Sysop-Apotheosis, you truly belong with the scums of the earth.
