I still haven't seen a reply from Superdeals on any forum regarding why the old Bidz users were transferred onto PH-EU. The question has been brought there from here on another forum, and never responded to. Considering PH is comprised of many, many ex-poppers and ex-Ewaey members, I am sure they would have a vested interest in knowing that the new PH owners used the same practice of transferring unsuspecting members private information from one site to another.
Mo, as much as I respect your statement about not being in the EU loop, was this ever even mentioned in all the months of negotiations, that a name you owned and are forever associated with would be linked to such a blatant privacy infringement? If the members didn't sign up on Plunderhere.eu, then they have no business being on there without their explicit written consent. There goes the reputation of the entire PlunderHere name that you have worked so hard to build in one extremely poor business decision by the new owners, less than a week after the announcement.

I reposted your question over on TCH because Mo was logged in over there...she logged out without answering it so it would appear the question is being ignored. :

On a different note, we all know that Alexa's ratings are crap because they can be easily manipulated. Here's a Quantcast manipulation tip from PH's admin:
PH has Quantcast tags on its RScript pages (auction script) but not on its VBulletin (forum) pages hence the reason for the admin to "go thru the front page" to get counted by Quantcast rather than taking the normal non-manipulative route of going directly to the forum :
FYI, the best example of Quantcast visitor count manipulation can be seen by looking at the short lived sharp upward spike in Wagglepop's Quantcast traffic charts just prior to WP's introduction of an advertising system (Flagship Banner) which bases its ad rates on Quantcast visitor counts.

Totally off topic (or is it?): lookee here what I stumbled upon when doing a lookup of PH's old ns1.hostedinflorida.com nameservers, a new RScript auction site called www.alsoshop.com hosted on the same nameservers [link to whois] that plunderhere is being forced to move from.Â
Hey, look at that, PH and AlsoSold aren't the only auction sites using those name servers!
Hey, lookee at this--one of PH's current mods has discovered the site too! Hey, several other current PH sellers have found it too! What a coinky dinky! How'd they find it? Who helped them find it? Will PH's new owner wind up with less than he bargained for when he bought PH? Questions, questions, questions!
Mo should be alerted to this covert migration (since I'm sure this is the first news she's heard of it) so she can nip the migration in the bud!!!!! arcasm1:
Stay tuned boys and girls, fun time in the sleazy world of eBayalternativeland is just getting started...
