Quote:Expect a complete transfer from soft-launch over to official launch over the course of the day, with everything in absolute "full swing" before the 2nd arrives.
WTF? I thought it was all in place and ready to go today?!?!?
Very not dynamic KaRay (!)

Hello Members,
It is 8:30 in the morning here in the East and we are really very close to the release and start of the Grand Opening celebration.
Once we get the "go ahead" from engineering that they have completed their tasks related to today, we will start the clock on the various scheduled marketing elements.
Everything is in place. We are just waiting for the "thumbs up" to get started

Hello Members,
We'll be offline for about 30-45 minutes this morning to complete the final maintenance and upgrade tasks, but once we return, we'll be in full release of the Grand Opening celebration
Thanks for your patience while we make these final changes and upgrades

WTF? Engineering? Give me a break!
And taking the site offline on the DAY of your Grand Opening? That's like opening a brick 'n mortar and waiting til the day you open to close down for the morning so you can set up the cash register.
River you're right ~ great planning there. I think KaRay has been hitting his own KoolAid a little too hard.
And... they're down, lol.
Great way to lose a LOT of buyers/browsers. Good thing they have pitiful traffic to begin with.

Kinda like telling your kid on Christmas day that there are no presents under the tree because Santa's elves were too involved in doing other things (like disciplining unruly reindeer) and simply hadn't time to make the toys and pack the sleigh. Oh, well. Wombat poo poo happens. Don't worry, Santa will arrive sometime in the foreseeable future, although it is rumored global warming is quickly melting the ice caps, creating further havoc with the planned event.Â
Ray, you are a total
mileyazwipe: I can't wait to see how many threads will get deleted due to your comedy of errors once the boards open back up.
This whole thing is sad...very sad for the sellers. Â I looked and couldn't believe that was IT. Â
