Mootroplis or Carnaby, what's the difference? She tried very clearly to get your thread moved to another venue. If you have no problem with her than you are much more thick-skinned that I could ever imagine anyone being. I'm sticking to my one week prediction.

Yes, Suzi_Teacups from BV here....reading this thread and taking notes! Interesting observations, JB and Kodi--where's Cuff?

I think that's also why the illegal auctions are left. If they were removed the numbers would drop noticeably.

Hi Wallypog - Right on with your analysis!
I honestly don't think anyone needs to worry though about Bidville going public (which ALWAYS seems to hurt a site); The owner would have to be doing significant advertising, etc. before then and I don't really see that in the nearer future (although, of course, I could be wrong.)
Just curious - does anyone know how many staff are at Bidville? It almost seems to be a one-man show (although that can't be, can it?).
The illegal auctions, along with the negative tone of the boards there, are only going to make the site go downhill; It is too bad those are being allowed to continue.
I was looking forward to going back to Bidville at some point (after the boards were ended, preferably), but if this is the new direction of Bidville, then that makes a return a little less likely for me. I'll have to really keep an eye on that, as well.
I'm sticking to my one week prediction.
