450027	2007-08-28 08:38:00	pheonix247 I'm sorry Swapshop but your site sucks. Zillion rules Hey thanks so much for your input..... ________________________________________ sti2003 I can't help my self to join and have a say.. to be honest "swapshopclassifieds " i think you just try to grab every ones attention to visit your site... and to be honey, your site do look like a trademe clone to most people... and a question for you mate what do you rate your SEO skills from 1-10 Well sorry I just had to reply again to defend this post. All websites have stats and any good web master will view them daily. We do and notice a trail from pcworld to swapshop. So guess what we checked up on it and werent impressed with some of the comments. "i think you just try to grab every ones attention to visit your site" Hmmm but we didnt start the thread so I guess you are wrong. The whole point of a forum is to discuss a topic not insult users or imply what is not true. Hmmm "and to be honey, your site do look like a trademe clone to most people" why re-invent the wheel. The site you talk about is worth how much? Do you know where it started from? Or are you just interested in where is is now with a team of paid developers??? Seriously I am flattered you think it is a clone when they are Auction and we are classifieds. These are different forms of selling. SEO you seem to have a hidden talent for this. Can you show us some of your websites that rank on the same page as NZ's biggest site? Guess not. We cant complete with the same keywords hence maybe you need to search for different terms to find us. Anyway it annoys me when there are a lot of unconstructive comments from users who I dont see have any talent or knowledge on this subject... Thanks for the kind words from users that not only support us but speak up against users that are being vocal for the sake of it.	swapshopclassifieds (10315)
450028	2007-08-28 08:47:00	Why did you reply today to something said in May? Perhaps this thread should be locked? I think the merit in it ended some time during 2006....	george12 (7)
450029	2007-08-28 08:50:00	Wow you're back after 1 year and 4 months just to say all this stuff? Dedication I must say but in a bad way.	beeswax34 (63)
450030	2007-08-28 08:55:00	Simply because we can. If a user asked a question should we not answer it? beeswax34 we have every right to post as you do... george12 why should it be locked I keen to have our questions answered...	swapshopclassifieds (10315)
450031	2007-08-28 09:16:00	What questions? I don't know how old you are, but you're coming across as rather immature (not that many of the other people in the thread weren't). I just don't think you're doing yourself any good by going on with this discussion. You didn't even answer the guy's question, you just gave some sarcastic response.	george12 (7)
450032	2007-08-28 09:38:00	I don't know how old you are, but you're coming across as rather immature (not that many of the other people in the thread weren't). Over 30 so I guess you are wrong. You didn't even answer the guy's question, you just gave some sarcastic response Its hard not to and yes they are immature, you can see this after reading the thread. I strongly suggest you delete it as it serves no purpose to this forum or to us. I must admit I am disappointed with a top note forum like this and its users. We didnt ask to get posted about but have the right to defend ourselves and this doesnt seem to be the case.	swapshopclassifieds (10315)
450033	2007-08-28 10:46:00	I wasn't saying you were young. I was saying your style of responding to people here seemed immature, eg the "so I guess you are wrong" type of reply. You're speaking as a company (I don't mean you are a registered ltd company, I'm using the term loosely to mean you're speaking on behalf of Swap Shop Classifieds), and that should entail a bit of professionalism. Instead, you use sarcasm and borderline insults to try and make your points. That's what I consider 'immature'. I can't speak for everybody here, but I think that it is not improving our forum users' impression of you or your website. Imagine if the PR person at Telecom was to reply to complaints this way. "To our questions about the recent internet outage, Telecom responded, "well wheres this better network you run then huh?" The users of this forum are not, for the most part, the mean people that you would think they are based on this thread. When you use arguments like "you seem to have a hidden talent for this. Can you show us some of your websites that rank on the same page as NZ's biggest site? Guess not." to support your viewpoint, you shouldn't expect people to respond very nicely. You made your point about your site long ago. It's not a Trade Me ripoff, I know. It's very obvious that your site is classifieds - it's in your user name. Nothing more needs to be said.	george12 (7)
