Hi AW and All,
I have been participating and watching AW for quite awhile.
The past month or so has been very frustrating for myself, most message posters, and I'm sure the moderator's on AW.
I don't want to pick a fight with anyone. I'm not trying to trash AW here or be disruptive.
I simply want to discuss why this thread is called Ebay Outlook anymore??
Most issues are not really related to Ebay. It simply happens to be fact that most online auction sellers use ebay. At least from what I've seen.
I think it'd be a shame to see the message board system on AW deteriorate and not be the great resource and online water cooler that it's been.
My plea to AW is to think about this before you alienate more of us. The amount of people who have looked for and found Auction management software since your fees were announced is one thing, but to have us look for a new central message board will be another.
We need everyone to be central, not broken up into groups!!
So please AW. Stop it before the rhetoric becomes truth!!
Perhaps you're right. I just think that there are other opinions, constructive opinions about this. Also, other than yourself and Michelle, AW has not responded to many of my queries either via email or by posting in other categories.
I think there can be solid solutions to some of what's going on.
From what I've been reading here the prevalent feeling is that AW is acting in a heavy handed manner.
I don't think AW wants to alienate any of us.
I understand that you folks are trying to run your business but I also feel that there is/was a certain feeling of this message board that's eroding and that's pretty sad, don't you think??

Just wanted to add...
Not that I have anything against the concept of a co-op site, but I have yet to see any evidence to convince me that progress is actually being made in that direction.
