There is no doubt in my mind someone from there is reading all of this. I was told that they read them in an email. He/she didn't come right out and say it, buy they used key words that had just previously been said here. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

The OP said she told people to check it out on the "Share your Wares" thread... evidently Ka/Ray checked it out too... then terminated their account!

Geez... you pay them for the store, you should be able to put what you want in the header!

RE: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
Hi all,

I we were kicked off waggleflop a few days ago, YES WE MEANING MORE THAN ONE ACCOUNT. IT wasn't any kind of money issue just the truth can't be told there. Below is the post that her highness removed us for. Oh and by the way I asked for them to close my store and they did in a matter of seconds. Much faster than they could ever answer any questions we had. The post below was a reply to a post and this reply is what did us in. It made it overnight but only because I posted it at 2AM so I hope a few more saw it. Below in quotes is the posted reply.

"I am confused about a few things and would like them addressed once and for all.

1) Below you will find the site goals for the next three years as stated in wagglepop today however it seems these goals are false or someone did not get to the corporate accountant at wagglepop after the fee increase on the big site and tell him his math is fuzzy. It seems to me that wagglepop has turned a small profit the past few months or they need to restate there goals so we don't think that. I remember back when I registered there were over 900 registered stores in September and over 100,000 listings as well. The store count has decreased but the listings have gone up. It has been stated that if your account was not in good standing you would be terminated. As of today 11/21/06 there is 701 stores ( 35 featured or showcase and 666 basic ) which translates to about $9000.00 in revenue for wagglepop each month. I would say the total site revenue with store fees and all other fees is less than $15000.00 a month although that is my estimate. Please restate the goals to reflect the correct "Break Even" mark or stop lying about a so called loss that wagglepop is having each month. The benchmark should match what you are saying or are we all taken for fools!

Date                Benchmark          Listings (All Formats)          Stores**
As of              11/5/06 Current          158,841                        724
June 2007      "Break Even"                35,000                        700***
June 2008    Intermediate Goal 1%    550,000                      1,250
June 2009      Site Goal 1.5%            825,000                      1,875


2) Adsmart:
      a) are you going to eliminate the featured listing option? It seems senseless to pay $4.95 to be at the top of a catagory when you can spend a dime for a keyword ad and be in a better spot.
      b) isn't this just a simple keyword linked text ad?
      c) also how will wagglepop copyright adsmart when this name is already owned by another website.
      d) wouldn't it be better for wagglepop to purchase "adwords" off another site if you know what I mean to drive traffic to wagglepop?
      e) isn't this just another way to bilk sellers of money for onsite advertising and shouldn't it be included in the smart sell pro package?
      f) don't we have enough onsite advertising? wouldn't some good offsite advertising bring more buyers and sellers here if we are going to pay for it through adsmart?


3) Sales:
    Does the sales report include sales that were bogus such as from scammers? If so can we get a more acurate number? For instance I have had 6 sales so far 4 of which were bogus from scammers. Is this accounted for in the sales report?


I have more but that is enough for now. Please clear up these issues in this post. If you disagree with these questions feel free to disagree. Proof is in the print and some would like to know."

end post


Ok what do you think of that? Well anyway goodbye WP I didn't need it anyway I have my own website u1it4less.com we only wanted to see what it was like and once we knew what that place was all about we started to stir it up. We will be posting here from time to time about wagglepop and soon will have an open forum on our website u1it4less.com

Oh and by the way WPSSU what a crock that guy is. Told me time and time again he was doing everything for free. If that is the case why does he ask for donations on his site. Last time I checked there wasn't a charity called WPSSU.


LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD!!!

That's why they'll need to hire more help, KR can't keep up with the work there and read the posts here.  That old screen must just be flippin try to keep up with what's going on here.

Latests from PSU:

wagglepop view charts  116,585 -628  -0.54% November 24, 2006 5:20 pm

And as I posted earlier today store counts are down, listings are down, BUT that figure on the home page never goes down.

RE: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
Time for a little Wagglepoop recap of some memorable posts made by Ray posing as Karen
Quote:1) The stuff we're using is pretty "cutting edge", be it the actual hardware or the dynamic processes behind them

2)  Someone did indeed overreact, but it certainly wasn't Wagglepop.

3)  If this is about a Board Participation Policy violation, and you're here to offer an opinion, that's fine. If it's part of a copy and paste performance for destinations unknown, or fodder for whatever agenda grabs you, respectfully, I'd rather it end at this time.

4)  I'd suggest leaving the "drama" for soap-operas

5)  We encourage and advocate all constructive thoughts, ideas, and opinions on the boards, including those which may differ with our own beliefs and/or policies.

6)  There's absolutely no need to censor yourself.

7) Yes, I am currently the only contact person with board monitoring and posting as my responsibility. Christine (CC2) is still in training (for the board as well as overall), but she's eagerly awaiting the day we let her say hello

8)Advertising is a misnomer. The real issue is market share.

9)  An online alternative is not an instant solution, like a magic box that, when opened, has a beautiful house pop out of it with a swimming pool and a barbeque.

10) Wagglepop is so different than what most people are used to.

11) The announcement over "there" only confirmed what we had suspected all along, and it's right in-line with our next feature integration, which will tie directly into the fallout from the latest increase.  Almost as if we had planned it

12)  That's the difference between a mob and a revolution.
The mob destroys and hates out of weakness, fear, and frustration.
The revolution promotes hard work, change, and unity, and recognizes the greater good at stake.
Smart people know the difference from a mile away

13) It's pretty obvious that the usual alarmist proclamations were all full of "hot air", so now some rather hilarious things are being tossed about as imaginary flash points.

14)  Additionally, we expected that there would be many sellers who were simply too firmly entrenched in the eBay dynamic of extremely high traffic, while others would have trouble operating in a trust-based environment.

15)  "Advertising" now would much like advertising a Porsche while it's under construction, and missing 3 wheels, an interior, and brakes.

16)  When it's done, we'll be able to setup the big screen TV and take a swim in the pool, but right now, we're still working on the foundation.
