Yelp!! Some new changes getting ready to happen on the internet. MOOoooo!!!!!
I like that little Alaskan site myself. Easy to list and navigate, and it seems to have quite a bit of speed. The community board seems to be taking off also. Welp!! Back to listing auctions. Hillbilly

I'd love to see a small new site like AlaskaAuctions.com become a major player. I think the popularity of this site's owner is a large part of this site's success though.

RB, I don't think so - according to the announcement she didn't appear to have any plan in place for re-opening auctioncow.
Hillbilly I made you my offical sign cleaner did you see? LOL
tooltimes..if only that were so! I don't know over 75% of my users so far, and we're only at 101

tooltimes!! Don't really know about the ticker problem yet. I go Tuesday to take the stress test. My EKG was showing a couple of electrical problems. I have however lost 8 pounds since the 14th, and I am watching everything I eat now. No fat or those artery clogging food's. I seriously love to eat, but I have gotten rid of things that I loved before. LOL!!! Although I still do miss a couple of them. Hmmm!!! Erma, Midge, Phyllis, Clovie, Sugar Pie, Marge, Rita, Betty, and a few others.
Kodi!! Yes!! I seen a Pigskin Sports sign that needs cleaning. What's that sucker going to set me back? LOL!! See ya'll, Hillbillious

HB, get a Juiceman II juice ( ebay $100 new ) and make a bunch of veggie and friut drinks. It works for that old coot with the huge eyebrows that shills the thing on TV.
I like the block bidders function on every auction page at http://alaskanauctions.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.pl. It is such a pain to track those functions down at ebay and Yahoo Auctions.
Innovations are a good thing.

two things i like is the neat pick a color & size for description title..fun..
also this is really kewl..
if you are a seller bidding on an item right? your auctions link shows on the listing too..this really doubles your exposure as when people browse they could click on your items too..now that is a new one!! really kewl..
they are almost up to 700 auctions in what a week wow CONGRATS ALASKAN AUCTIONS your are going to blow the old little sites out of the water..

HB is right, there is a lot up with Moo, and apparently a lot more happening in the coming months.
Kodi, I love your new site. The logo is very well done and has a nice cooooool feel. Gonna add snowflakes or icicles for X-Mas?

What is the big deal over there now? A few bells and whistles like an ignore feature?

RobertSmithson:
It's a lot more than that, but unless you join and participate in Moo, you probably wouldn't understand. I guess that's okay.
It is apparent now that there is a LOT more going on under the "hood" and even more stuff is being added. Having beta-tested the new Moo, yea, there is a lot more that can and is being done.
Have a great day!

The moo really needs an ignore feature. Once it is in place things will be alot more civil there.

It's a closed little clique like a corner bar in any city in the country. A few regulars, a place to post, a Cheers TV bar. Nothing more, nothing less.

robertsmithson:
First you ask what is so special about Moo, and then you make a final conclusion that is a closed little clique? That is a huge leap in just a few short hours. Interesting.
Moo is a great place to a lot of us, including MANY that are here at AW and barely post anything here, but do a lot of posting over there.
Keep in mind what is so special about AW? It is just a message board that is tacked onto paid auction services that primarily serve eBay. Really, other than the message boards here, what does AW offer for free? Moo has several great fun things, and now even more.
To each his own I guess.
Blairwitch:
Ignore list is now available at Mootropolis.

Actually, it already up to 81 members that have signed up to the new site in just 24 hours, give or take a moderator.
RB:
Yes, it is a fantastic job. Nice and speedy with some great features. I hear the name Buzzoon is not taken yet.

Make that 80. I had enough of the bidville clique at bidville I'll be damned if I'll put up with them at the MOO.
BUZZ
Yep the email was sent to Patty so I guess I'm back where I started, AW

Out of 80 users most likely 70 are bidville cheerleaders. I am waiting for more users of other auction sites to join, but I have not been seeing it. The boards from the old site were dead.

I really don’t believe that the new MOO will have nearly the amount of member as the old one had. Many of the old member quit coming because of the BV clique & the BB,AD,BW,???? Clan.
YD
Go have a closer look. You tell me how many ebay seller are there? Heck the other larger 3rd tier site member won’t post there because of the clique.

I agree with BW 100% with the number of BV cheerleaders. Shouldn't the ebay forum be the mosr popular by far? Look at http://community.otwa.com/3/OpenTopic?a=cfrm&s=386293084 OTWA's ebay form, almost 30,000 posts while the other forums are much, much lower.
Do the other online auction sites sellers go bananas over their special sales and broadcast them either here or the Moo? BV has somehow made a very different online auction sellers than their competiting sites. Tis a mystery to me.
