You're right BBH - as he turns on built-in features he somehow gains credibility in the poppers' eyes. After all, he told them he would build it, and he did (or Rob, but what's a little plagarism between friends), so it just adds to their faith in him. Never thought of it that way, but I think that you are dead-on.

Ray:
Quote:There simply is no quick or simple way to expand, which is one of the many reasons we've decided to take the route we have by making this concern part of the larger sitewide evolution in mid-2007. In other words like you said Bbh the sitewide evolution translates into activating the rscript built in features. If WP is still standing mid-2007 |

Anybody have any theories on Scott Bulgar's going AWOL? -- assuming he's still awol from the wp forums... Think there's a hint of a sliver of a possibility he feels he's been taken for a ride after reading what he did here and at OTWA, and wants nothing more to do with WP? -- and perhaps he's looking for a new home for his photos?

Someone asking if search is broken and Karen's response:
Quote:Hello Members, A popper asking about a scammer Quote:I know this is a scammer, but I don't know where the trick is? Unless they did try to pay through PayPal and PayPal caught them? No sign of SB posting, but didn't check too many threads. I doubt he has given up WP, he is too big of a supporter. |

"Since he could open it up to international sellers, given that rscript has the features, it doesn't cost him anything, so what do you suppose is the reason he wouldn't do it. All he harps on are the NPB, which he obsessed over during WP1 and justified asking for CC verification for new members to prevent them. "
This was my explanation: "My guess is KarenRay's afraid international buyers will be expecting a real, authentic, e-commerce site (not just some cultist, goosestepping self-glorifying, kindergarden site) something WP cannot deliver, and the whole scam would be exposed world-wide." Ray doesn't give a rat's ass about buyers, regardless of where they come from. It makes more sense to me that he's afraid of being exposed for what he is. He may be able to pull the wool over a few misguided, expatriot eBay sellers, and his cultist friends and family, but remember, this is a guy who has an unsavory history and exists in his present form only through Karen. What would the world of serious, savvy, e-commerce people think about the way he does "business?" No, I'd say he's more afraid of being discovered and becomming the laughing stock of the world of e-commerce. |

Quote: What would the world of serious, savvy, e-commerce people think about the way he does "business?" That question was answered on the Auctionbytes blog in May when they said they refused to provide coverage to, or even mention the name of, any site that hides its ownership information on its WHOIS records. He's never going to be a contender if he continues to hide basic things like ownership, and the fact that he is uncomfortable disclosing the information (that almost every other auction site does disclose) tells me that he doesn't have what it takes to guide the site through any rough times because he's a :peepants: |

If he read even the first 5 pages, he'd get the gist of it. If he really isn't a Ray plant, and if he really was not around for WP1, the OTWA saga was likely eye-opening. Hopefully he got out before Ray took another $9.95 from him (and for the month AFTER).

Forgot to mention that I am the one that put the mistakes in bold. I guess they ALL have to spell that way & use incorrect grammar to understand their cult leader.
