Shamless???? hardly...I am fully Shamedanother shameless bump
I am really rather sure that those of us from Catskills have no shame.Shamless???? hardly...I am fully Shamed
I am fully aware of the definition and my glasses are quite clean.....it is called humor, Obviously Podo got it! But there is no accounting for taste with those who lack originally.
Unfortunately there's no real way to know those things, but I don't personally believe there is any "shill bidding" going on. Flippa has very strong rules against that practice.has anyone commented or noticed that the only people bidding after the first couple days are "new bidders" someone with no reputation on flippa?? makes you wonder if some or any of those bids are legitimate or if someone is just playing a game to screw people over or to drive up the price???
I'd say they are running a big risk by doing so, lets say they make a bid purposely to attempt to bump the price up. If by chance they wound up being the highest bidder, their Paypal account would be automatically deducted after the auction, as they'll need to enter the info on a verified Paypal account when making the bid. That could be one heck of an overdraft if they were doing it strictly for the purpose of well more or less trolling the auction participants.you dont think anyone in the community might place a bid to bump the price a few $$?? I am not talking about Ron or anyone connected to him....I mean perhap there are people not happy about the present plan by stratics staff.or just wanting to say later they bid on it.
I didnt think anything could be automatically deducted from a paypal account. I believe you have to log into paypal yourself and verify....but perhaps I am wrong. I apologize for diverting the thread....I just know what some trolls can be like.........I'd say they are running a big risk by doing so, lets say they make a bid purposely to attempt to bump the price up.

Basically you are pre-authorizing it when you make the bid, at least that's how I'm assuming it works based on what I read.I didnt think anything could be automatically deducted from a paypal account.

looking to make a purchase to settle your curiosity...lol It really has never been that hard to figure many of the EM and GM's....but as it stands now only Admins and Ron have access to that infoSo lets say the staff is unable to acquire the site and someone else gets it. I would assume they will have access to all aspects of the site. For instance IP addresses of all account. Or more importantly....all the GM/EM's that have frequented the site and have an alternative account as well....no?
Yes however if they did number 2 or 3 you'd think that would be counterproductive since all the "numbers" of visitors and all that is based off of US coming here and reading the forums on a regular basis.... take away our reason to come here and then you have to build a new base of folk... really can't see why anyone would buy a site like this based on the numbers given knowing full well that Ron has stated it's not making the profit he thought it would etc... So anyone who is bidding to buy it either is cracked in the head or has plans for it one would think would be to keep it going... or one would hope.Anyone with Admin rights can see IPs.
Moderators cannot see IPs.
*edit*
Lemme clarify...
IF someone other than the new stratics board wins the auction, that person (or organization) has the following options:
Should the new owner (be it an individual or organization) decide NOT to join the forum... well the options go...
- Joining the forum as a member, moderator or admin
- Not joining the forum at all
Then...there is always this:
- keeping staff the way it is
- kicking all staff and setting up their own team
There are more options, they are only limited by whomever wins the auction. The above are the "most likely" scenarios and what I've seen done to sites that have gone through Flippa.
- kicking all staff and operating the forum & wordpress & php sites on their own (highly unlikely)
- kicking all staff, shutting down the forum, trashing all the content in the WP & PHP sites & using the brand for something entirely different
- reworking the content & flipping the site for "profit"
Basically, a person with admin rights can see into the IP logs of the software - anyone with access to the server can see the IP logs there as well.
Thats because we all know you have flutter.xxx in the works.If I win at the casino this week I promise to purchase this site.
If I don't well... dammit.
