chaquita, me too!! I'm re-reading parts of the OTWA thread and it makes me bug-eyed everytime. I sure wish more poppers would read this and have their eyes opened.

PCG,
That popper you mentioned (signature Jan) is one of the founders and officers of the WP Circle of Stores. I take this as a nugget of hope that the message is reaching the "core" poppers.

PCG,
[quote author=PC_Gamer link=topic=3775.msg32729#msg32729 date=1164060715] Looks like another popper was thinking the same thing as we were. I have pasted her post below from the help WP advertising thread "Well, I agree with you, Bob. Working together is the key in making this a successful selling site. The advertising issue will not go away. It is one of the most important areas, in a business. I still don't understand the logic in waiting until the "shelves are stocked". There are around 700 stores here. In September, there were over 900. The shelves were not fully stocked then as they are not, now. Mid 2007, was given as the time when more things would be implemented. If advertising is one of them, will there be the desired number of listings that seem to be needed before WP begins advertising "outside"? I really like Wagglepop and sincerely want it to become a bona fide competitor in online selling. The Sellers are doing everything imaginable to help draw Buyers here. But we can only go so far. The Buyers, who are finding their way here, are seeing the number of items listed, now, just as Buyers would see the same, if the site had advertising. What is the difference? If there is a worry that Buyers will not return if advertising is done prematurely, then what about the few who have found us, now? Wouldn't advertising draw more Sellers, also? More Sellers - more stock? If the cost is an issue, then can't there be some exceptions made by WP as far as Sellers using the WP Logo? I know this is a subject that has been addressed before but we need to work together to find a solution, now. I am willing to do whatever is agreed upon. Thank you to everyone who has been working so hard to make WP the best! Jan " Can't wait to see what they have to say about this....... [/quote] That popper you quoted is one of the founders and officers of the Circle of Stores. I take this as a sign of hope that the message is reaching the "core" poppers. Drats. I'm in newbie mode figuring out how all these options work. This should have been the post - sorry. ??? :-\

The ironic (and sad) thing about the OTWA thread is that it's obvious people were responsive and positive in the beginning. The first 4 pages are almost entirely supportive. Those that aren't completely supportive are just curious, not negative.
The people at OTWA would welcome and embrace an alternative to eBay. Many wished him well. When he went apesh!t over not following the board registration etitquette, he lost all credibility over there. He still doesn't see why everyone got pissed at him... I wish all of you could read the original ground zero at FAS (the board where WP1 started). There was amazing stuff on that board, including his original postings about his career at the university, where he was supposedly head of an IT department that didn't know who he was; and all of the contradictions people caught him in. Luckily, the OTWA thread preserves some of the material from FAS through people's quotations. Otherwise it would all be lost to revisionist history.

Thentavius,
I would imagine given the fact you were there from the beginning of WP1 and watched it all unfold, that WP2 must really feel like deja vu. The similarities are eerie, and what absolutely amazes me is that this guy has been able to do it all over again. He must be one heck of a con. :blinkie: |

It looks like feathers are getting ruffled over in Pop Land. Mommy Karen has stepped in and posted her ususal blah blah blah. And of course I had to add my comments >
But so far, the cheerleaders are curiously absent.

thentavius,
I've been trekking through the OTWA thread but at the point I've reached, I'm not really learning anything new. Just having my suspicions confirmed. Didn't anybody copy/paste the threads from the FAS board? I know...hindsight can be so...enlightening or regrettable. Happy dance, Happy dance!! OOPS wrong thread...

Here's the history of the thread he is talking about.

I wasn't being modest, just didn't have time at that moment to post it all. I was trying to get some food cooked.....seems like my daughter has this nasty habit of wanting to eat
I was just trying to keep everyone current. I know some people here don't have access to Pop Land.
