My 2nd ID is set to expire at the end of this month, so I checked into SD to remove my photos, etc. Just on a lark, I went into the forums. Lo and behold, it's worse than ever.

One thing that's great here at Auctiva (among other things)......the nastiness and ego feeding would be stopped right from the start, so I guess we'll never see the egomaniacs at this site when SD folds. Perhaps that's why one person in particular on SD puts this site down.

Tomas is a sweeheart -- but I'll never understand why he allows the egomaniacs to continue their nonsense on SD. It's truly sad.

You'll have till the eve of the 14th to keep visiting the boards. (if that's your choice)

Never know...you might receive free bonus time offer from Tomas. Even though I think if it's a free bonus time offer, somebody oughta drop an email to the "winner" of this bonus time and let them know.

I was the "lucky" recipient of ALOT longer free time than anybody knew (I have no idea why either, didn't ask 4 it, didn't want it, had everything cleared out & could definitely afford to pay for SD if it had been my choice)

Why Tomas' choice was to offer me free time when there were those who LOVE, LIVE and BREATH SD and to them it was a hardship to come up with nine bucks a month and yet..he gave me free bonus time? It's still puzzling. (I never missed a payment to SD for over 2 years)

Over the years, I'd offered to pay for members who would post on the boards they couldn't pay for their SD subscriptions..he could've/should've give them what I didn't want. I never received answers to my request to pay for fellow members over the years. It just doesn't make sense..I receive free bonus time? When there are others that are needy out there? Doesn't make sense, does it?

Heck, all accusations about returning members using new IDs is silly. Just fodder for fighting or the current "choice" of whose the target. Those discussions could easily be stopped/locked. I know the majority of those slinging around accusations know about IP numbers. Geesh! If it mattered the owner would nip all of those that have IP numbers he doesn't want posting on the board banned.

It's silly and can be nipped in the bud unless stirring of the pot is what is wanted to keep members interested in coming back to view the car wreck postings in a thread.

My choice is to be where the postings are positive in regards to life, my online business and selling. I'm not just talking about this board but other online seller boards I belong to also, OTWA, TULIP Tools, PowerSellersUnite, etc. etc. and of course, Auction Sellers Motivators!!!!

Just my thoughts, it's better to go forth and be around those with a positive outlook than negative.

Now everyone, Get out there and make Moolah.

Best of luck for the New Year and many, many eBay sales!

My wish is that everyone have much green to count.

Peace,
Donna

Donna. You are so right about having and keeping a positive attitude as much as possible. It does work, and makes one a much happier person to be around,. i used to be such a rebel, but I found out it did me more harm then good. I try to see the good in all things now, and if something doesn't work for me any longer, I just quietly go away, AND I DON'T PUT DOWN WHAT OTHERS CHOOSE TO DO OR NOT DO. I will never understand blind loyalty to any site or auction. It is crazy. This is business to me, and I do what will make the most $$ for me, and try to help out others if I can. Other then that, I try to keep quiet.

Peace!!! Smile

Jewel - I use to send in extra SD payments and include a note saying who I wanted the money to go to but never received a reply. Bascially, you didn't get any free time per se because you paid for it. None of the subscription gifts I gave were ever received by the people they were intended for, instead they were credited to my account.

As far as the energy at SD/AHL I still feel it's toxic. Even some of the people there that were suppose to be sooooo sweet, weren't really that sweet. It sure pulled me down. Until I was in the slime with some of the best of the worst.

No thanks. That's not who I want to be or the type of people I want in my online life.

A lesson learned.

This was a purely business based decision to me. I wanted a site that could implement the changes eBay threw in such as eBay motors, categories, and more.

I wanted upgrades to a service more than once every 2 years and not empty promises.

I wanted a customer service that answered questions. I didn't want them to be my buddie or my pal...I wanted the service addressing my problems.

I took the affiliate links outta my emails and ME page last spring because I was tired of explaining why the site didn't work. How embarrassing it was to send them to the boards for answers. They would look for customer service and then only find members. That didn't speak well.

I wanted a service that members didn't have to call rackspace to get answers about problems.

When and if this site doesn't suit my needs, I'll find another and if it has a fee, so be it. It was NEVER about the money!

As long as this service keeps up with what my needs are as a consumer, that is the bottom line. It has nothing to do with money...oh no it doesn't. I also don't think they understand how this site works either..and won't take the time to investigate either.

But to stay with a service that isn't up to date or can't handle the curves eBay throws doesn't show good business sense it just shows loyalty to a buddy or pal.

I guess that explains my "free bonus" extra time with SD. There were months I would send in extra with a note to donate this much overage to cover so and so's payment. <shrug> It's no big deal.

I never begrudged a single person about their choice to stay with the service, yet, when I stated I was outta there..suddenly this woman who used to be considered pretty knowledgable by those on the help boards, became viewed as a dunce. (even though I have background in accounting and business managment) <shrug>

And yet, they still sling barbs at those that have not only come here but other services that suit their needs. Why? What possible reason are they so obsessed with what our business choices are?

I wish nothing but good health, much joy and and even more green to everyone!

A positive outlook is wished to all!

WELCOME CREOLE! WELCOME BRIGHTGEMS! (yes I do remember you)

Enjoy life!

Peace out,
Donna

Thanks for joining my Yahoo 360..any other takers? You're all welcome to join..it's for cross-selling/advertising online sellers.

Where are you located now? Did you go back? And you're well? Loved ones well?

Blessings, Donna
Hi Donna,

I am still on Indian Bay in Lake Charles. I am well and thankfully have a FEMA Blue Roof over my head. As I type this I am just now getting the yard in "better" order. My father is 85 and I have been trying to take care of him, his property and a neighbor who is 95 that we have thankfully just got into a FEMA Trailer across the street. Every day is an adventure and you don't know what the priority will be or how long it will take to solve the priority of the moment.

All my family and loved ones including the Geese and Ducks made it thru the hurricane. Check my blog for a spectacular sunset the other day. Things are slowly getting better. I will be adding other photos as time progresses.

For "Sad" Hurricane photos of the area... you can check out the following link.

I would be happy for anyone interested to link to my 360. I think it is a great marketing and advertising tool. Currently I am selling items in my Store but, hopefully Monday or Tuesday I can settle down and learn how to list with Auctiva. Thanks for you concern an Interest.

Hey Deb,

I thought you were already on there..hmmmmm.
Isn't it Debsherenow? Nope..I see it's the debkwek.

I just sent you an invite.

When viewing my 360 you can issue an invite also.

So glad to have you ask me to join yours.
This is turning into a nice cross-selling tool.

I don't mean to sound stupid but I guess if the shoe fits ....

what is a Yahoo 360???

I'm all for cross-selling tools and other marketing outlets!!

Click the link in my sig...the one that states Yahoo 360.

If you've heard of Myspace.com this is similar but via Yahoo. I had a space with Myspace set up for cross-selling..but <rolling eyes> with the exception of five kids that are friends of my children, the only other persons that wanted to add me as a contact were males looking for "other" interests besides online selling. (if you catch my drift)

Click my link and you'll see what my site looks like and all the others that have been invited or ask me to invite them and view theirs..it is an ever bigger circle that will continue to grow.

Beautiful FL day, right?
Happy Golfing!
Donna

Have you tried Irfanview? It's a freebie photo manipulation software tool. Google Irfanview and you'll find it.

Or you can email me the logo and I'll see if I can get it switched over..ok?
