BV is self destructing.
But I do find it interesting how all these new AW users proceed to bash one particular site. Most bashers on this board registered within the past 2 days. I wonder which competing site they each work for. My guess is that each site has representatives/employees/cronies that are paid to spread this #$@! around.
Hey wait. I forgot that I just joined AW also. Oops.

Alot of us were told to stay away from auctionwatch by people at Bidville.

A lot of the former BV supporters are now warning people of the shortcomings of the site.

Now all they do is sit around and moan about trolls and all the other folks they think are trying to bring them down. I wonder if being paranoid can spread from Prez down to members.

Slimview states:
"But I do find it interesting how all these new AW users proceed to bash one particular site."
I'm relieved that someone else finally noticed this fact. It is interesting that the same bashing has been going on for months on the Bidville chat boards, along with bidding on auctions for the purpose of leaving bad feedback on innocent sellers.
I wonder if that could be the reason behind the new rules. I can't help but wonder if there isn't a connection between the Bidville bashers here and the Bidville bashers there. Is anyone else seeing a resemblence too, or am I "way out there"?
I quit selling on Bidville a few months ago, so no labeling me as a cheerleader! I may now return to selling there.
I see problems on all sites. In fact, I see major problems on the Bay at this time. I've been selling there for years and in the past few months the bad bidders are multiplying weekly.
I'd like to hear from the bashers which sites they sell on and why.

A few of the Bidville folk are over there having a Kool-aid party tonight. Lol or are we assuming to much thinking it is Kool-aid they are on? 
I sell on Bidbay, Carnaby, Wizardworld and Auctionsaloon.

"Most bashers on this board registered within the past 2 days. I wonder which competing site they each work for. My guess is that each site has representatives/employees/cronies that are paid to spread this #$@! around."
My guess is it's the former BV cheerleaders wanting to express their present views and too ashamed to use their original AW rah rah id's.

Speaking for myself I was guilty of smoking the same stuff as most at Bidville. However once Prez began to lose it, I decided to register here. It is very easy to get blackballed over there and one of the ways is to come post here. There are only a couple of members that post here and both have admitted more than once to getting hate email. Such a friendly site!

Auctionsoldier,
I am a Bidville member who posts here. This is my ID in both places, as well as my selling ID. I have never received an hate e-mail about my posts, nor any other type of posts. I have also never received any communication from Bidville about any of my posts on either board, pro or con. While I am usually supportive, I have posted on occasion about problems on the site.
I do believe you are insulting (and possibly slandering) a lot of good, rational thinking sellers on Bidville by generalizing about their conduct, especially with the drug references.

It's alright for the bashing to continue. The soldier just joined 2 days ago. Luke Skywalker joined yesterday.

First of all when I joined is irrelavent.
Second I am glad you have not gotten hate mail. If it were within the TOS to post links to threads on Bidville boards I would. I can find 3 different people over there that posted for one reason or another, they got hate mail from fellow members.
Thirdly I would take it kindly if you did not address me and stick to the topic. If the Bidville Prez wishes to come here and refute any of this as he has been asked to do many times, so be it. I have said nothing about you and I ask that you do the same.

Auctionsoldier,
My post had nothing to do with the Bidville Prez. I was referring to your earlier post with this statement:
"A few of the Bidville folk are over there having a Kool-aid party tonight. Lol or are we assuming to much thinking it is Kool-aid they are on?"
Since you did not identify any particular person(s), any Bidville member is tainted by the reference.
Also please leave the moderation to the moderators.

Auctionsoldier,
I am not a bidville cheerleader, I do try (TRY HARD) to sell on bidville. I certainly do not smoke any stuff, and I take this as an insult.
Speaking for myself I was guilty of smoking the same stuff as most at Bidville.

Is there a topic in this thread? I would be happen to follow it if I can find one. Most of the early posts concerned personal slams at the members of Bidville, not the site itself. Those were the topics being addressed. I am reminded of the old saying, "If you can't stand the heat, don't go into the kitchen."

It looks to me like the topic of the thread was the absurd notion of paying to use message boards. The only person on this thread addressing members by name is you. If you want to address me I would suggest starting a different thread and I will be glad to respond. I am not going to feed into your cheerleading in this one so you can get what you want which is the thread locked.

K, sorry, I must have been referring to myself.
I can't wait until these boards are unmoderated. It's gonna make BV seem like DisneyLand.
Maybe I will get verified. On AW that is.

Slimview why so antagonistic? You are starting to sound like someone else with a name close to yours. Maybe we should look into your other usernames?

BTW Joice I hear they are looking for a backup to the lady that emcees the "Missing Link" TV show and I think you would be wonderful on the show.
Just kidding, you gotta relax on the last few days.
