Somebody finally broke the cone of silence. The WP Adv Selling board went 8 HOURS and 9 minutes without a single post !
Oh Yeah, the sellers there are REALLY pumped up !! Happy001

You've never been to Woot? :blinkie:

woot.com
They offer one item for sale starting at midnight for 24 hours or until they run out, whichever comes first.

About once every few weeks, they have what they call a Woot Off. Then they keep changing items every time one sells out (usually for around 48 hrs or so).

I forgot to add....on Tuesdays they do "Two for Tuesday" and usually have something really low priced that comes in a two pack. I picked up some flash drives that way.

All their shipping is only $5.00 no matter what the item is.

Another culling of the herd soon.

Quote:Hello Members,

Just a reminder that seller invoices issued on May 10th of $2.00 or more and left unpaid by the 19th are now overdue.

As always, we thank our seller body that has paid on time as per the User Agreement, and we encourage anyone who has not yet paid to do so at this time prior to account processing and/or suspensions for May billing in just a few days.

HEY! FH! Get over there and pay that WP invoice. Karen is talking to you! Happy001

I love woot!

Rat, I meant Ray's post. Your posts are never stupid. Sorry :oops:

I don't REALLY understand all there is to understand about Alexa ratings. I am still learning, but they are definitely important. I guess as long as Ray tells the poppers they aren't important, they will believe him and never try to learn.

Sad.

Another complaint of slow servers on WP:

Quote:It just took over an hour to go from preview to post on one auction I was working on, when I was doing nothing else but, even had to start completely over at one point, readd pics, etc, it's ridiculous that this happens frequently, usually always on a weekend!! This is why I don't do the listing contests, WP has beyond slow moments that freeze and take forever to do one auction and it's not the browser I'm using, cause it's done it on all 3 I use.

The slowness probably occurs when the site is being indexed by search engines. Ray should move the database to a separate server.

It probably won't be long until Ray could put the entire database on a floppy disk, and just carry it with him as a momento.... Happy001
