Ok, so what I am reading in the information Karen posted, WP had no intentions to advertise or promote the site until July 2007. So for a full year WP would sit and not generate any traffic flow or name recognition from the efforts of the WP company.

Sales are down this week. Yes, many companies do compare sales on a week to week basis and plan promotions and staff hours around these sales trends. Many large chains use hourly sales rates as guides for finding slow times and working on increasing sales during these times.

A business that plans for success has an upward growth plan with expectations of increased customers on a continual basis their first few years and then a general leveling off.

I don't understand the line, "firmly entrenched in the ebay dynamic of extremely high traffic"
Isn't high traffic a goal of an online auction site? High traffic means sales for stores and revenue for the venue. Is that not a goal of WP?

"If not, we respect that, but it would support in any case our desire to attract the very best of sellers, and not just any sellers. "

Whack! This line just blew me away!!! A seller who expects more than just casual traffic and sales is not wanted here? Oh my goodness, Karen you have offended me and others who desire to sell their products on a site with customer traffic.

Thank you for opening my eyes.

It would have been impossible. Wagglepop had its own forum at FAS. There were 4000 Poppers who did nothing but post in that forum, and thousands of threads.

chiquita, she got the credit because she is a seller and I'm not. I'm a thorn in wagglepop's side right now because I am one of a few that are asking the questions HE doesn't want to answer. I'm also stating facts that are posted by him, then the response to me gets the big spin to suit his needs.

It's interesting that the regular and loud cheerleaders haven't chimed in yet. Icon_scratch

She got the credit because she is a cheerleader, it is good to be a thorn not in his side but in his Bootyshake

The other

Don't know if any of you remember the Simpson's episode where they join a cult. I found a great little clip from Homer.

Quote: Homer: I've never been so happy!

Jane: Would you rather have beer, or complete and utter contentment?

Homer: What kind of beer?

Homer: Just think, I turned to a cult for mindless happiness when I had beer all along.

Homer: Homer no function beer well without.

and the song to the batman theme
nah-nah-nah-nanah nahna leader, leader...

Hey race just caught up with the thread, love this karay quote

Quote:As the boards are my specific responsibility, I have been asked by upper management many times to refrain from conversational "give and take" and to simply stick to giving basic information when needed, answering basic questions, and posting to a thread once or twice at most.

I think I understand why now, and for the first time, I think I agree.

Since when has Ray ever posted once or twice on a thread? Upper management Happy001

Oh please spare me. :turkey1:
