Did the wagglesong count pass the wagglestore count yet? [/quote] If not yet, it won't be long. Unless we start deleting 3 songs for every 2 written!!

Quote:I was surprised that the posts were not moved to the new forum. Quote:Yes, it would have been a nice gesture, yet I can fully understand why the slate was started clean. There was an awful lot of petty nonsense in practically every one of those threads that had no business being on this forum, much less be moved to a brand new forum. Quote:wagglepopCC1 10 Dec 2006 19:06 Quote:You have to remember this is not the same situation as a b&m business. While we deal with customers and other business in a similar fashion, forums have traditionally been a more open place of discussion. Quote:wagglepopCC1 10 Dec 2006 19:15 Providing a forum is generous..... :wtf: Of course, you're under no obligation to do anything but cancel accounts, delete posts and rob people blind.
I hate stupid people!

Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
This is just a little something I came up with. I can almost picture it >
KaRayDrew is pacing the floor Wearing the pink bathrobe and slippers, Tapping his/her/it's temple mumbling We have to try to keep the pippers. "THINK, OTHER SELVES, THINK, WE have to think of a way To get more sellers in here To replace the ones that stormed away We need to come up with a new scheme To get the sellers to pay more money Since so many sellers have left us We'll spike the Kool-Aid with honey Seems many are realizing the truth That all we are after is their cash We need to cast a new spell on them So they won't do the wagglepop dash We'll be sitting here day and night Ready to hit the delete key We have to keep them from asking questions And make sure they all pay their fee

Not egomaniacal boinktards that are using pets for staff. [/quote] DEAD ON POINT, ECLECTICA! A couple points of observation about the now-infamous "Farewell" Board. 1) Notice positioning -- all the way at the bottom of the screen, separated from all the other forums, where NO ONE would expect to find it, and probably very few will. Had I not known it was supposed to be there, SOMEWHERE on the page, I would never have found it myself. 2) Consider the reasoning for having a board "separate and removed" from the boards that receive activity. a. To show Poppers there is a distinction between the "trust-based" and those without the "sensibilities" needed to become part of the "chosen" group. This is clearly a cult strategy, and as one member here suggested, a "thinly veiled insult". b. So that only others who expect to leave will see it. If it truly is a place for Poppers to say farewell, what "long haul "Popper is going to go there purely to see if any of their friends have posted and will be leaving? This makes no sense, whatsoever! The only other Poppers viewing this board are going to be " ex" or soon-to-be "ex"-Poppers viewing each other's farewell posts. Since KaRay doesn't give a rat's ass about them anyway, why not quaranteen them to a board of their own, so as not to infect the faithful. This is so UNBUSINESSLIKE and childish, it makes me It's KaRay's last harrah at a cheap shot -- forcing those who are in the process of leaving and wish to say goodby to the fools left behind off into a corner in shame with dunce hats on their heads. Can you imagine any REAL business acting like this? Can you see Bill Gates ostracizing any of his employees for wanting to leave the company? And Poppers aren't even employees!!!!!!! THIS IS INSANE!!!!!!!!!! Poppers, if any of you are lurking, GRAB YOUR INVENTORY AND RUN! Do yourselves a favor and stop feeding this dead horse. Swallow your pride, chalk it up to experience, and go someplace where you will be appreciated and there's money to be made. |
