449979 2006-04-28 00:09:00 Obviously swapshopclassifieds has some pride about their baby, which is not exactly a bad thing.

I guess it's hard to answer a "why do you exist" question without taking it personal.

As they say "there's no such thing as bad press."

Still a barely legible post doesn't improve a company's reputation. Hope you ran it past the owner / manager first, if you're not in that position.

Perhaps you should take your own advice. The grammer on the website is terrible.

449982 2006-04-28 03:20:00 Sorry Greg why get personnal? Your user posted Swapshop . co . nz is a clone of Trademe and we defended it . But you made it personnal .

Not quite sure what you are saying but isnt that the point of a forum? We have merely defended who and what Swapshop . co . nz is . We are not a clone .

Keep it professional please .

Your user? Our user? Who? If you notice that person is a new member also?

And not clone, Copy was the word used .

Youre not winning any friends by being unprofessional yourself .
It seems being new to a forum and posting politely is not possible . . . . . . so maybe we need to think about things before we post?
The first and likely last we are going to hear from you and you abuse our forum and members? This is good promotion on your behalf?

Have a nice day .

:rolleyes:

449983 2006-04-28 05:45:00 We listen to our users, we create a site that is for users not to make money .

All of us need to be professional on these forums :thumbs:

Hi, Can you tell me if you can actually make any money from this web site swapshop, I see google adsense program on there, I know that would pay you a very small amount, is Auction sites sucessful, or was trademe & zillion just very lucky?

Thanks

449984 2006-04-28 06:44:00 Right try this one again .

All we are saying is this, we are not a copy of tradme and do not want to be one .

Yes my grammar is bad but most of this is due to lack of sleep and late night coding .

Yes I took offence to be called a copy, why two years worth of work to be called a copy . Yes we take pride in what we are doing .

We arent here to offend but felt we needed to defend us site . We are not web dev or coders but are self taught . So WYSIWYG .

Yes I own swapshop so yes I have the right to defend the site .

I am not interested in bad press but merely noticed the trail of users hitting us site .

So to all those affended with apologise for that . Swapshop is simply a free site and yes the google adsense is to recoop the cost of running a site .

To create a site like ours or some of the other sites means that people are trying to accomplish a goal so I wouldnt call them copies just a few switched on people . So I say good on them .

Anyway prides got in the way this time . . . . . so again apologies from Admins at swapshop . co . nz

449985 2006-04-28 08:02:00 You still here? :groan: bob_doe_nz (92)
449986 2006-04-28 08:25:00 Man everyone here seems to have some form of attitude disorder or something. Swapshopclassifieds merely commented that his/her website operates quite differently to trademe.co.nz, and a lot of people seemed to have issues with that. I found the explanation quite valid and had no problem with it whatsoever. 2c. roddy_boy (4115)
