bitlind, are you even reading this thread or just your own posts? I have been as vocal as anyone about the website issues so there is nothing I need to 'admit'.
Please consider these comments I made one hour and six posts back..
I think there's a good case to argue that with a functioning website Ken wouldn't need to reduce the price to stimulate sales.
There has to be a reason why he can't get it updated that he's not telling us, otherwise I can't imagine why it has not yet been done.
EDIT - The question is; has Ken seen a gap in the market? Can Hashfast's misfortune play into our hands? With large orders for PCB assembly as a new revenue stream we could turn a tidy profit, no?
I read the thread, your tip toeing around egg shells is noted.
"I think there's a good case to argue..." Talk about putting it oh so delicately. There is no thinking, or debate, or arguing, there is no case to be made here for it, only fact. Your usage here shows how you are seemingly afraid to just come out and say it - the site is horrible, and it is his fault.
"I think there's a good case to argue that the color red is in fact red." See how ridiculous that sounds? Im comparing the terms used here.
There is no case to be made, there is only fact. The website is a sad tale as to what Actm is, that is what I meant by admit it. Don't dance around the subject like Michael Flatley, state it for what it is.
"There has to be a reason why he can't get it updated...." Again, egg shells, apologetic as it sounds. Why are you an apologist for this? How can you even apologize for it? There has to be a reason? How about there is a reason, and the simplest of answers is most likely the correct one.
If there was this magical reasoning don't you think your CEO would be all over that magical reason and using it for his reasoning (
see: excuse) as to why the website looks like my nephew threw it together? regardless of reason, what could possibly cause a corporation driven by sales to NOT make their website the most proper functioning site for their products? There are some pretty horrendous sites out there that sell goods, but none like this. They at least attempt it, Ken doesn't even bother. I keep hitting this topic, but Lewicki had the site... it was amazing! I saw it first hand, he was proud to show it off. Ken's simple mind just said "no I cant use it, because I use prestashop" - so far that has been the only reasoning ever given as to that site.
So I ask again, how can you be an apologist for this? Your rhetoric dances around the obvious, that is why I say or use terms such as 'admit' it... because you aren't. You just dance around, form possible reasoning as to why things are so irrational with your CEO. I know why you do, I did it too, but eventually you have to realize what this is right? So like I said, admit it, stop dancing around it and making excuses for it.
Secondly, I'm too long in the tooth to get drawn into infantile debates anymore, where we try to get one up on each other and demonstrate our literary prowess and yet manage to lose sight of the important issues. Good luck.
