Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens

[moonMAJiC]

Just talked to a mold customer of mine who still sells on is on WP - she's disgusted with the happenings recently and is on her way out too.... I'm so glad! She's been thinking about it, but didn't want to take the time to delist everything... I sent her to WP in the first place, so am so thankful she's decided it's passed time to leave!

DB, thanks for your posts earlier today. They were some of your gems and worth repeating. Glad to see you back and hope your time with family was memorable. Here's the summary you were looking for:

Stores have been dropping faster than hailstones in a hurricane.

Another outage at Popland; duration 12 hours until KaRay woke up the next morning. But it wasn't KaRay's fault - it was everyone elses computer.

Karma gremlins have been making regular strifing runs. Misery does like company.

Tiny "T" has done a superb job of providing us with comic relief by posting on WP.

Copious deletions on the WP Boards when some brave (or foolish) poppers starting asking questions. KaRay now has a blister on the tip of their middle finger. Clarification of the clarification of the first clarification of Board Policy has been issued.

WP's feedback system was exposed as a sham. Along the lines of it's not who you know, it's who you b**w.

Many long standing poppers abandoned ship once 2 highly respected sellers, Pixie Soap and Little Bears, were axed for their unconstructive constructive attitudes.

Farewells and well wishes will no longer be tolerated.

Forum topics were stripped down by over 50%. As one TT put is "We The People" are now know as "Where Are The People".
Sales Report and Wagglepop Today were killed off. Victims of the revolution. The Revolutionary Newsletter survived but is gravely wounded.

Andrew crawled out from the cabbage patch. Karen had the breath knocked out of her. She was discovered yesterday reduced to a deflated pile of plastic in her chair in front of the computer. KaRay is retiring the pink robe and fuzzy slippers and replacing them with paisley boxer shorts and flip-flops.

Daily Chat turned into the Daily Fiasco. It is also gravely wounded.

Overall the WP boards are deathly quiet. That's because they are all over here lurking. And because our ace reporters, Unique, Moon, JoJo, Been There, Eclectica and others have been giving them the opportunity to catch on TT with all that is going on, and all that has been deleted.

KaRay bought a new car with his ill-gotten gains. He has yet to thank the poppers for their donations to his auto fund.

Sweet and Banana have shared further with us their skill with words.

New members have joined us. Either exiled or U-Hauling out of Poopland.

I've been doing my usual - reporting the stats on stores.

Everyone else who I haven't mentioned by name have contributed just as importantly by sharing their thoughts, their advice and their experiences.


Off Topic:

Patti is selling too much on Ecrater and is worried about reaching a goal of 500 listings because of it.

Rat did a terrific job installing TPG's Zen cart - site looks sharp. She has 2 more to go for them. They had sales already.

The daughter of TPG and FH did a practice run to the hospital with server problems er... false labour.

Platz is about to publish a book (no it is not a biography of her life on TT).

Platz dog Dusty appeared to be at death's door but she and the loyal gang here kept him from stepping through it.

Meow's husband has been hospitalized from flirting with pneumonia. We're all rooting for his recovery.

Brat's daughter was dumped by her date at a school dance but showed him the disdain only a confident woman can and had a good time despite him.

Scoops going to be a proud grandma again - Congratulations!

TPG and that wine guzzling Platz have exchanged some racy banter and FH, as ever, is patiently tolerant of their quips which have been quite hysterical. Worth going back to read. Platz is such an adorable tart.

Truth and I Want have been sharing this unique warped humour.

Race is still MIA today.

That should cover it...

Wowsers Sherrand ... Go put those fingers in ice. They GOT to be tired!!

Oh Sherrand that was nice! Even for those of us that got to be here watching - so much happened, it's nice to see it all summed up like that!

Moon I saw her store drop some listings a couple of days ago then stop. I doubt she's alone in planning an imminent exit.

Notice that there was no posting on WP yesterday warning that invoices are now due. That probably means no posting at the end of the month of how many delinquents were guillotined.

Didn't Ray turtle like this with WP1?  :turkey2:

[eclectica]

Great post, Sherry! Aaaahh..... such beautiful memories we're all able to share!

Listen, you can hear in the distance, the chant of the Poppers growing louder:

   Ray, Ray, go away.
    Don't come again some other day.

Sher... you rule!!!!! 

[UniqueSeller]

[b] New store count 217 ... slowly on the rise. CC must have gotten a lot of emails requesting the closure of their stores....

Yes - but only because he was "fighting for his life" during that nasty (bogus) DDOS attack!  Which I am very surprised has not yet made a reappearance.
