nah, it doesn't hurt my reputation at all. i was contracted to be the front guy and brand the program. i helped make it successful and then towards the end of my contract with them someone else who saw and appreciated my abilities offered me something very lucrative and i accepted it. i don't think its a big secret as to who owns it and the very reason that it wasn't blasted all over the boards when we launched rage was that we wanted it to stand on its own and not cannibalize the other program.
it is also not a secret that this business is about stepping stones and $. i won't disclose what i make because i am not one of those types but in the 6 years+ that i've ben in this biz, i've managed to always step up in the financial sense. i work hard. some have taken advantage of it and some have rewarded me for it.
sometimes the front man ends up getting the knife stuck in him, when in reality he is just the scaped goat because no one knows who to stone.
as said in this thread, they are still paying out and the program is still doing what it is doing. no one is going to push it the way i did, but its still there.
$ talks in this business. people can say all they want about people moving around companies. go for it i say. my bank acount can care less about what people say.
i will always take care of number one when it comes to accepting projects that i believe in to promote. if the owners don't stay behind said projects, then its time for me to find something that appreciates my passion and drive.
