That's nothing. On February 8, 2006 I reported that both Allen Wyatt and Daniel C. Peterson were registering hundreds of websites in order to confuse people into landing on their sites - rather than so-called "anti-mormon" sites.

http://www.mormoncurtain.com/topic_fair ... _503024067

It is the same tactic used by pornographers to drive people to their porn sites. There was a time when there were over 250 miss-spellings of "Britney Spears", all of which went to porn sites.

It was noted recently on this board that when one googles "Mormon", a paid advertisement for the "More Good Foundation" (MGF) appears. This foundation is located in Orem, and its purpose is to flood the Internet with inter-linked pro-mormon websites so that anything critical to the Church is buried below the pro-mormon sites. The president of the foundation is apologist Allen L Wyatt and the MGF website has a video of Daniel C. Peterson commenting on the MGF charter.

I suspect that the MGF is a front that is funded indirectly by tithing money, but it might be privately funded. More than 200 domain names were recently purchased by the MGF, and the foundation offers to buy and help with the development of any pro-lds site that a TBM wants to build. A recent meeting at the foundation featured a lecture by the LDS Church's coordinator of websites.

The members-only section of the site contains links to information on how to "cheat" search-engines so that your site comes up higher when someone does a search. The foundation is also working with an Orem-based search-engine optimization marketing firm . There is also an effort to publish pro-mormon sites in different languages.

What follows is a listing of the websites that were recently purchased by the MGF. Notice how they nearly all have the same links on them. All of them link to the main pro-LDS sites. When Google indexes these sites, it increases the ratings of the pro-LDS websites.

Note also that domains such as "antimormonism.com" and "debunkingmormonism.com" have been purchased. This reminds one of the ploy used by the Church of Scientology when it infiltrated, bankrupted, and purchased the Cult Awareness Network, one of its biggest critics. Scientology now owns the Cult Awareness Network!


All of the sites listed below are to the MGF:

Registrant Organization:More Good Foundation
Registrant Street1:560 South State Street
Registrant City:Orem
Registrant State/Province:UT
Registrant Postal Code:84058
Registrant Country:US
Registrant Phone:+1.8017059385
Registrant Email:domains@moregoodfoundation.org

Pretty much all of the domains re-direct to Mormon.org.

The following domains have recently been registered by Allen Wyatt and Daniel C. Peterson, and this is but a very very small list of them:

pppfft! No worse designed than the actual book of abraham!

At least those websites CAN be changed and polished, unlike the turd Book of Abraham.

CFR that DCP "was registering hundreds of websites in order to confuse people into landing on their sites" and CFR that it was meant as a "confusion" tactic.

The More Good Foundation is allowed to purchase as many domains as they want, and do whatever they want with them.

And it was you, a little while ago, who claimed that your bigot site was generating hits on "Boyd K. Packer," so you are doing the exact same thing.

Shame on you, Infymus. You have fallen well below what it means to be Human -- you have shown us what depths hate can take us to. I hope you feel good about yourself.

Simon, you blow hard.

I didn't register over 200 sites about Boyd KKK Packer so they would be redirected at the MC. I have ONE topic on Boyd and everyone seems to find it.

So shut your pie hole.

Hey Infymus, I can see that you replied although I have no desire to see what new hate you've spewed from your keyboard. Keep doing what you're doing, and I hope that you can feel good about yourself, especially when you have children and grandchildren. They'll say "Grandpa, what were you like when you were my age?" And you'll have to reply "well... uh... I created a massive bigoted website towards a religion that I freely joined out of my own free will." Yes, that'll show 'em!

And I'll add to that in that I was chased around by an immature Mormon who continuously called me a bigot, a hatemonger, and that I wasn't human.

Simon, grow a set of balls and stop your immature posts. I swear, you have got to be 10 years old.

That's interesting, since as far as I can tell, that specific position does not exist at Stamford Hospital.

????

According to what I looked at when I checked out Stamford's website, they have an Information Services department, which is basically the new jargon for IT.

Since I mentioned IT in my post, it is perfectly logical that Simon would refer to his Director position in that manner.
