Default ** Vendors ONLY! (DISCUSSION)

Ton of vendors here and I wanted to know what was their take on all this stuff going on with the new site owners and raising the price to double on us.

Do you plan on renewing?

With failsafe gone now after all the work he did for us vendors I think it's time to go on strike for failsafe until he is back in office handling our stuff (And all the other supermods that made this place possible)

Just so all the vendors are aware- it was not my intent to leave anything in limbo like this. I've worked diligently with all of you over the last 3 1/2 years and you know this is not my style. I've been in touch with IB and have sent several lengthy emails to some of their higher ups. Unfortunately nothing has been worked out as of this point in time.

Thanks to all the sponsors for their overwhelming and continued support. I'm hoping something can be worked out, but at this point the decision is out of my hands.

Well, first, we actually have to be contacted by IB with their new prices. Has this happened to anyone other than one vendor so far?

I emailed them two days ago about the banner ad we wanted, and no response yet.

Has anyone received a "renewal" notice? Or just a price list of sorts.

Then why are we complaining? Maybe Jason hooked us up with perpetual accounts.

Personally, I am not going to stir the pot, until I recieve a renew notice.

I must have missed that email or something? Nobody said anything to me about where or how to send my money???? I even emailed them saying, "Yo, Jason usually tells me when i'm coming up due for my sponsor account. Where and who do i pay now?"

They came back with following answer:

Cricket..... Cricket..... Cricket.......

As long as your vendor status is still active, I wouldn't worry about it.

I paid for a full year on all the sites in advance, so I'm in it for the long haul. What they did to Jason was low. He has built such a good working relationship with all the vendors and to take him away without even a replacement, is a joke.

I just filtered all of my emails and have never received any type of correspondence about your account. Please re-send me this email about your concerns.

Please also forward me any type of paperwork that states there was an increase in your billing.

All existing customers should be on the same rate plan agreed to unless you made changes to the campaign (upgrades, downgrades, etc).

Please contact me directly.
