Ray will be in the bathroom.

Translated into Karenspeak: Ray will be using the supporting infrastructure to enhance the poop dynamic.
[/quote]

The infrastructure is the admin controls in rscript. In other words Ray can open, close, and delete member accounts anytime he wants. His statement is such BS because it gives the impression that some massive reprogramming of the site would have to be in place in order to "reinstate" an account. Most of the other sites that use rscript software have never hidden this fact from their members, and there are sellers who actually like the rscript program.

"Morning Session" consists of a shower, shave, krispy kreme doughnuts and a starbucks double shot. That way Ray can run on a caffeine and sugar high all day long while he composes his BS, and keeps his eye on the infiltrators on other forums. He can't be caught falling asleep or else the truth might get out when he isn't looking.

Regarding the expansion to include buyers from other countries:

Hello Members,

The initial portion of this beta expansion has gone quite smoothly, and we have been receiving registrations from the new locations on a daily basis.

Once we establish a larger pool of data, we will focus some effort on promotion in the areas that show the most promise or interest towards the end of the beta period

Can't wait to hear about the promotion.  :popcorneaters:

Quiz:  2 sites on PSU's listings count chart have private WHOIS registration info (All other sites on the chart have public WHOIS info):

Hint: DRM has recommended both sites.
Hint 2: Both sites were given their own forum at FAS.

Name the 2 sites.  :turkey2:

  I know!  I know!

1) Blujay
2) Wagglepoop

The Rat guessed correctly!  :turkey1:  They were the ONLY small sites with their own forum at FAS. (larger sites eBay, Yahoo, iOffer, Bidville, Overstock, and Amazon also had forums)

wagglepop & blujay but there is a big difference at least for me. I know who owns blujay and have his phone # and have spoken to him. He seems to be a very nice guy and has actually acted on my recomendations when I have talked to him. Oh yeah one more big difference is blujay is 100% free and you don't have to register to buy.

In this case it is like comparing night with day.

P.S. in case anyone is wondering I speak to a few different site owners not just blujay and no I don't speak with Meg.

Yes--Adam is actually pretty cool. If you make suggestions, his staff often implements them.

Why? Because Adam and his staff are actually coders and can ACTUALLY change the code.

Time for some damage-control

Hello Members,

It has been a very exciting day today of meetings and discussion, and I thought I would update everyone as to the nature of the talks and how it relates to the immediate Q1 schedule and slightly beyond.

Beginning immediately is a rapid acceleration of our overall marketing plan. The plan can best be categorized as "all encompassing", with elements of both short and long term strategies.

All energies for the immediate future will focus on this marketing effort, as we implement some of the more bold or visible elements.

And yes, there is a limited TV commercial campaign included

You won't see them running during the Super Bowl *LOL*, but they will be visible in all of the right places as we use precise demographic targeting and make every effort to optimize our specific elemental budget for this very effective advertising medium.

You will notice many of the other elements (some of which have high relative visibility), and/or notice a marked increase in overall traffic and activity.

As a part of this initiative you may notice some appearance changes to help better define our company and community.

Once the entire implementation schedule has been processed, we will turn our energies back to the remaining Q1 integrations, in roughly this order though subject to change:

- We The People
- Wanted feature
- Buying & Collector Guides
- WP Checkout
- WP Stuff

Between approximately mid Q2 2007 and mid Q3 2007, we are working to be able to integrate a site feature that is completely "revolutionary" in the world of online auctions, and is something we feel we can use as a defining characteristic of who we are and what we hope to represent for membership and potential membership.

If added research and developmental time is needed that would shift that target, I will be sure to post an update.

As noted above, all focus at this time we be solidly on the marketing of Wagglepop, and our confidence as a company is high that the path we have chosen is the right one.

We would not be able to do it without the incredible ongoing support of our membership as we begin this next leg of our journey together

Poppers:

I can't wait to catch a glimse of a commercial! I hope they are in our area so I can see one. I'll be watching!
Yeah....I wanna see one of the commercials too.

Good luck, Poppers.

WOW! This is really exciting news! We can sure use those commercials and every marketing stragegy that you are working on!

Hope we can get more Buyers in here!! and sellers!

Don't hold your breath, Popper.

had a customer ask me about that...what do you call it....wigglepuppy? LOL

HUH?

WHAT, NO   for We the People, WaggleStuff, Wanted & Guides? Just for the "mystery" commercial )who? what? when? where?) which will NOT be aired on the Superbowl.

Lucky me I am in the local area of WP. I will keep a sharp eye out on my local cable system so as to record the comercials. I won't hold my breath though but I think I am the only one that will be able to see the comercials.   

Platzki,

Maybe we could combine your pee pee no no's with my recordings and take it national. Sounds like they would go good together.
