Hall Of Shame.US - group at My World Of Work: " there are rules, and there are exceptions to the rules. Here is one such company formally nominated to the Hall of Shame.US:

http://directlinecruises.com/

This company simply put profits before people, and when I went out of my way, to request assistance (and it was not even my money, or a cruise that I was going on) all with reasonable requests, the customer service person said that they are not "making any money" on this cruise based on the number of conversations they have notated.

When I was merely being assertive and requesting that the company "compromise on it's policy" the representative simply said, that they can't do this for everyone. Later to someone else they spoken, they even had the nerve to "call me rude" when I was politely yet assertively, requesting to speak to a supervisor. ""

BuddyPress or Ning : Community/Social Networking Website toward a fully functional prepackaged product / SAS based on Drupal / let's works on that at DrupalCon SF | Drupal Groups: "
I gave up on Wordpress several years back, because over time the demands from site owners for flexibility with large amounts of data.
The taxonomy tools were significant two years ago as no one had anything comparable.
Now with OpenCalais and othere semantic tools we appear to have more efficient ways to manage large amounts of data, which is highly accessible on the web.
We aren't waiting on the robots with just the right words carefully placed within our sites.

After looking at the Buddypress and Ning thing I would evaluate them as very focused applications, whereas Drupal and OpenPublish address much broader area of use for site builders."

The Sign-Up Problem (SUP) | drupal.org: "This module allows anonymous users to begin creating content immediately, without registering (if they have permission to do so). Once they get engaged on the site, they are more likely to register, at which point all of the posts they created while anonymous will be transferred to their new authenticated user account.

Details
Right now, this module keeps track of what nodes and comments are posted by anonymous users, and makes sure those nodes and comments maintain the same ownership even when the creator registers."
