I wouldn't be worrying about killing this thread or anything. It's just that folks have lots of other busy stuff to do right now, and can't be participating on the boards every day, all day long. Haven't you noticed that weekends are slower than weekdays on boards? And the closer you get to Christmas, the deader it will be. Everywhere, not just here.Â
And, most important, don't forget that us WP-1'ers on TT have already been through what you are now going through, so we are not real actively again participating in your newly found anger right now. BTDT. The first half of this thread pretty much says it all for how :blinkie: we all were that RR and WP appeared on the scene again! And now you have taken it over with your thoughts, and WE are sitting back reading and enjoying and piping in occasionally.Â
Two years ago. EXACTLY two years ago, we were excited and busy little beavers helping the most wonderful RR with suggestions on what to do to make WP a successful alternative to greedbay. Some of us were even modifying the ebay categories for him to use. (By the way, those same categories that he supposedly completely deleted two years ago are the same identical ones he's using today.) I was, I think, No. 7 or 8 to sign up, late at nite, when the site was first clandestinely opened while being tested. I distinctly remember pm-ing Mr. RR, congratulating him on the opening of WP and wishing us all a successful venture.Â
It's rather a jolt seeing those old FAS and OTWA threads and internet newsclips again after two years. The biggest burr of all that still sticks in the craws of most of us WP-1'ers is the boldface lie about this dreamsite being *3 years in the making*. The only thing we could figger out was that *they* prolly
talked about it for three years at the local beer joint, jotting notes down on the soggy table napkins or something. To learn that this new site (which the national news stations had even picked up on) was an out-of-the-box auction script which would jam with 200 or less users -- or sumthin like that -- and there were literally THOUSANDS waiting in the wings to join -- was what labeled him the pathological liar and slimeball that he is. And, in case you haven't noticed, he is apparently psychoticly addicted to forum boards.
He's only out to line his pockets for as long as he can, and will continue to cut off all *truths* on WP with his guillotine mouse finger to keep his little personal mecca thriving and his bank account full. You cannot save people from themselves if they choose to follow RR as one of their own personal cult gods and participate in his little patty-cake kumbaya society. He will continue to rake in the dough until he is forcefully shut down, or slams the door closed himself.Â
But, then, why should he? He's in business for himself. He thunk this up all by his little lonesome, and I'd say he's doing fair-to-middlin'. But, being who he is, and considering his true psychotically explosive personality and mental imbalance, he will never go very far. He
will self-destruct. He's been rather stupid with all his moves and non-moves that have angered his sellers and cost him almost half his income. His true sheep are still there to be shorn -- And, granted, there will be some who will actually make some sales because of the search engines finding their items, or they bring in buyers themselves from their own exhaustive efforts.
But you just watch. The RR we know from WP-1 will make even more dumb mistakes the more thorny
you get and the more angry
he gets. He did the first time. The implosion was louder than the *big bang* -- with almost dead silence following -- leaving thousands of wannabe FU-ebay sellers in the lurch.
NOTHING. I repeat. NOTHING this man says is to be believed to be truthful or reliable in any shape, manner or form where it pertains to wagglepop. There may be a pittance thrown out to the sellers, or insane putting off-putting off promises that will never be kept. But people don't change, and I'm fairly sure his only real marketing plans are the ones to be put in place by his sheep everytime ebay sticks it to its
own sellers.
Yep. He
will self-destruct again. It may take longer this time, but it
will be an entertaining event worth watching. Couldn't happen to a nicer slimeball, if I do say so myself...
Yep.Â
