How can a forum with only 6 members and 6 posts be considered developed?

Johnn · Oct 15, 2004

Developed means the site is up and fully functioning.

Questions should be directed via PM with the seller.

It's "Not Cool" to make remarks or comments on a sale thread!

You would not like it if some one else do it to you.

DMaN · Oct 15, 2004

A couple of things...

Number one, do you have some stats? If so, how long has the website been around? You say the site is developed yet all the posts are from today - honestly it looks like you took a domain installed forum software and put it up for sale a few minutes later - don't want to come off too rude here but I am interested a bit.

Also, there seems to be a MySQL error with your db in the posts - might want to get that fixed right quick.

gmail · Oct 15, 2004

Stat is 145 uniques and has only been online for 2 days!

I HAVE WITDRAWN THIS SITE!
Have to fix errors and will change it to something else

Thanks

Stop doggin' him you guys. Is it illegal if he does that no? Its his way of selling. PM him if you have a problem, as stated above you would NOT like if this kind of stuff was posted in YOUR thread. Good Luck GMAIL

GT Web · Oct 15, 2004

No, I wont stop doggin' him:

firstly, he has never told us why he refused to post revenue and traffic stats for one of his for sale sites - this decreases his credibility

secondly he went and offered people 10 dnf$ to sign up for his forum and now claims 150 uniques in 2 days (obviously all from dnf members) and calls it a developed forum?

this sort of thing should not happen at dnf - it is unprofessional and makes the forum look bad

Did he ever deny doing the deed?

It's better to have bad remarks in private with the seller or inform a mod to investigate. I believe that is the basic courtesy that you (as a seller) will really want from your buyer/those-who-are-interested in your sale. If you think that this is a bad post, it will be more polite to just inform buyers in this thread to be more wary of the information provided by the seller. I totally agreed with Jaques' perspective. "Don't do things to others that you do not want others to do to you." If this is bad, bring it to a mod instead of "making noise" in here. Does it help?

GT Web · Oct 15, 2004

MissFlora, usually I agree with you and I always make sure to leave others sales threads alone. However, I have lost all faith in the member gmail after some of his other actions and would like potential buyers to know that the signups came through DNF$ donations...

Harmonia · Oct 15, 2004

I personally understand how you feel about how sellers can actually do such underhand things to bring up their sales. And definitely this is something that should be highly discouraged. Thus, we should bring in the mods to settle this thread since both you and me and everyone else cannot do anything about it other than the mods, right? All we can really do is to tell buyers beware of what this seller did as related to his sale. Nonetheless, I don't feel that giving improper comments should be done as it will only reflect how we are, not something professional to do either. Of course, many in this forum are professionals, and thus we should keep up to our professionalism by handling the matter in a professional way. Don't you agree, GT?

I am generally not one to correct spelling, but it's "ridiculous".

Nexus · Oct 16, 2004

ALL OF OUR POSTS SHOULD BE DELETED.

PRETTY CLEAR THIS IS A "FOR SALE" THREAD, AND NOTHING UNTRUE HAS BEEN ALLEGED BY THE SELLER. I JUST VISITED THIS THREAD TO SEE WHY IT HAD 15 COMMENTS. PRETTY BAD.

Also I'ts now a book auction site and It legal to recieve 95% of your members from a offer!!! The same way you would give out an ipod on your forum I would give out dnf$ for signups on mine!

PS3Domains · Oct 17, 2004

Yeh thats true.

labrocca · Oct 17, 2004

I think it all boils down to Gmails credibility and honesty. He has shown a certain trend to decieve when he attempts to sell. This is all noted with gmailinvitation.com which oddly enough is no longer a website.

I think all buyers and sellers here enjoy the professionalism we all strive for. There is a certain standard at this place that I do not see at other sites. Now a guy like gmail I believe creates a problem with that. He continues to post sites here and I fear he will one day sell to someone and basically that person is screwed. IMHO gmails site sales border on fraud...mind you I didn't say they were fraud...I say border. Gmailinvitation.com was way too close for most members comfort. A person like this should not be welcome in this professional environment. I am sure that if I posted a sale with false and misleading information and the site did sell...that I would either have to refund the buyer or be bannished here at dnf.

I just believe gmail needs to give more info on his sales if he wishes to not only participate here but also sell a site.

Good luck Gmail.
