AuctionQuests - Cheap Sex Toys and phantom book listings
AuctionQuests home page count:
Quote: Books (111,657)http://www.auctionquests.com/index.php Books category: add 'em up 1,537 total book listings http://www.auctionquests.com/categories.php?parent=355&show=subcats So where are the other 110,120 books?  Is the owner hoping the inflated listing count will help him find a buyer for the site (AGAIN)? If he is, he had better hope any prospective SUCKERS don't wander over to Compete (http://siteanalytics.compete.com/auctionquests.com/?metric=uv) or Quantcast http://www.quantcast.com/auctionquests.com

[quote author=sneakymagenta link=topic=18949.msg74131#msg74131 date=1236721906]
Is the owner hoping the inflated listing count will help him find a buyer for the site (AGAIN)? If he is, he had better hope any prospective SUCKERS don't wander over to Compete (http://siteanalytics.compete.com/auctionquests.com/?metric=uv) or Quantcast http://www.quantcast.com/auctionquests.com [/quote] OR I hope that the owner doesn't let anyone know that he hasn't updated the bug filled and hacker heaven version 5.25 of the script since 2007. http://www.auctionquests.com/admin/ shows the version of the script. It was updated 5 times in the past few years and I believe is now on 6.05? Or maybe that the admin probably hasn't even logged on this year to manage the site, since the copyright notice in the footer is still dated for 2008. Just as long as they don't stop freely giving away the IP addresses of every visitor in their stat script: http://auctionquests.com/bbclone/show_de...php?lng=en Scratch that, those haven't been updated since 1/16/09... Looks abandoned to me. It may be worth $10 even with the hacker's script to inflate counts.

Auctionquests changes hands again.
http://www.powersellersunite.com/viewtopic.php?p=252231 Perhaps he will make the site secure, protect the bbclone stats with a password, and finally upgrade the 3 year old script to the latest, somewhat more secure 6.05. But, then again, he bought AQ, when most would have required a fee to take it off the owners hands.

They aren't failed and closed if you keep on recycling them every couple years:
Quote: We are also working on another site registered just today auctionquests.co.uk our UK site. ThriftyBidderAuctions.com running Probid version 5.11?!?!? That one is like 4 years old?  He should do a fantastic job with AQ!

My favorite kind of site owner...a boinktard who doesn't even bother to change the default email address and dummy mailing address that came with his $99 script.

Quote:ThriftyBidderAuctions.com upgrading tomorrow Quote:ThriftyBidderAuctions.com running Probid version 5.11?!?!? That one is like 4 years old? Quote:Copyright ©2004-2006 He upgraded today --it's now running 5.25 (the same version as AuctionQuests) and the copyright has been updated to 2007. Quote:protect the bbclone stats with a password The version 0.49 script is still unprotected... http://www.auctionquests.com/bbclone/ ...which makes the site extremely vulnerable to attack because bbclone 0.49 has a highly critical unpatched security hole which allows enterprising hackers to gain system access (i.e., any info stored in the server's databases is free for the taking). http://secunia.com/advisories/23874/ PHPProBid v5.25 also has several vulnerabilities. Joining either of this clown's 2 probid sites is akin to emailing your personal info to a Russian hackers forum. |
