Conflicts[]
Since Cafe Murray's creation there has been conflict among Cafe Murray and some prominent AJM STUDIOS members. In an article by Ron in Ron's Reasons called Is Cafe Murray Popular? claimed that Cafe Murray was not popular and followed up with some credible, and some non credible facts proving a point. In this article, posted on October 2, 2009, Ron made his first mention of Ron's Bistro which would enter the AJM STUDIOS Building as a rival to Cafe Murray on December 14, 2009. In conclusion to Ron's claim against Cafe Murray, he said,
"Cafe Murray is a sick place, that breaks AJM STUDIOS Rules, and gets away with it. They are dirty and unclean in how they talk. Have double meanings, and is the number one location of crime and possible revolutions that would be started against the AJM Counsel. The place is covered in filth, and needs to be shut down. It brings in unwanted people, and turns good people, Trollis and Omar, into Cafe Murray Trash."
Ron also pointed out that the majority of the threads are from a niche few, and not the majority of AJM STUDIOS. Cafe Murray's owner, Murray, had this to say as a response, "Wow, that certainly was interesting. "
