Poll: Who is to blame for sellers leaving Wagglepop en masse?

This one is for Ray. Smile

A site that receives tons of free press coverage because it actually is "revolutionary" (i.e. it isn't a friggin' eBay clone).

I've favored this site for as long as I've known of its existence. It rocks, and I wish I had the kind of business that would work there.

I love that site. There are some truly talented people there. I wish I had half the talent to be on that site.

Hi guys... just checking in... I'm still sick and coughing up a lung but wanted to chime in on the etsy posts...

I love that site and am so glad that I heard about it and then took the time to research it. I opened my store there on 2/3 and have gotten involved in the community which is so eclectic and welcoming. Very artsy people who's purpose is "make it now... sell it later" as opposed to "sell,sell,sell!!" LOL Good business people too... these are sellers that make their items, usually just ooak so when you buy it, it's something special.

I've bought two items and am happy with the CS that the sellers provided! It's a fun site! The flash pages are fun too, like the time machine page and the chat rooms.

I took some time this morning to read up on what I missed since I got sick... geez... lots to read about!! I'll post some comments when I feel better. For now, I'm just gonna go back to bed!

Alskling,

Quote:When the site crashes, and it will, like any paranoid psycho, Ray will blame everybody and everything for it: trolls, infiltrators, fake buyers, nasty sellers and their "lack of faith", crappy inventory, inept marketing skills, inability to take full advantage of all WP has to offer" or whatever wombat poo poo he can come up with; Brian, global warming, war in Bosnia, sunamis, earthquakes, meteor strikes, etc. But the only one to blame is himself.

EXACTLY!!

I want 1 2,

Thanks for the karma pumping. Sunny

Platzki,

Quote:WP did NOT just arbitrarily deem you a bad boy. WP made the right move by removing the wpssu thread from the Web Promotion board because:

1) You carried on a very lengthy dispute with a few of the banned wpssu members ON WP'S FORUM which was clearly an abuse of that board.

2) WP was receiving complaints from your banned members about being harrassed by you. They do not have the time to police out-of-line behavior by someone from another site. WP did EXACTLY what was appropriate AND NECCESSARY to protect it's sellers. Most of the posters from this thread would have a whole new respect for WP if they saw exactly what happened and exactly how WP stepped up to the plate to keep a bad situation from becoming worse.

The bottom line Brian is that you are still refusing to accept personal responsibity for your own bad actions. Even worse is that you're trying to throw Ray under the bus for YOUR OWN BAD ACTIONS. The of this just stinks to high heaven.

I have been going through yesterday's post. The bolding is mine. It was by user391. Could someone please explain what throwing Ray under the bus means? Is it a literal statement or some kind of local slang that I have never heard before?

If that be the definition, then I'd say most of the X-Poppers here have tread marks on their knickers.
