Carlos says:

Lonni says:
I am here, working on my pros and cons!
Dani says:
yes
Hils says:
Hi there
Carlos says:
pros and cons?
Carlos says:
hello everybody
Lonni says:
For bidding or not.
Carlos says:
ahhh
Hils says:
i AM VEERING TOWARDS A JPINT BID NOW
Lonni says:
Me too.
Carlos says:
I have a pm from Evie jining the bid with 120$
Hils says:
excellent
Lonni says:
Oh excellent!
Carlos says:
I have a plan
Lonni says:
If Ross realizes we're not bidding against the members I think he will join us too.
Carlos says:
please hear me out
Lonni says:
k
Carlos says:
then I will answer questions
Carlos says:
it is the following
Carlos says:
that we join forces, them with 6.5k and us with 6.5k
Carlos says:
only one bider by stages
Carlos says:
the moment we get to 13.000$
Carlos says:
if it is not ours we pull out, if they continue bidding it is on their own
Hils says:
I think its going to fetch more than that personally
Hils says:
I suspect their limit is higer too
judy says:
and we have to do it 4 hrs before closing not the last min like i originally thought
Carlos says:
as I think for psychological reasons re: make the members more secure and less anxious they should get the the last word as we have been assured that no chances in staff
ross has been added to the conversation.
Hils says:
Hi ross
judy says:
me too carlos
Lonni says:
Hi Ross.
judy says:
hi ross
Carlos says:
if they take the DJG'ers out they do not have more than 10.000$
Carlos says:
Hi ross
Hils says:
If we join with them they will feell much happier and so will I to be honest
ross says:
Hi everyone
judy says:
do you have dyebat's people list yet?
Lonni says:
And we will have a lot more to play with.
Carlos says:

judy says:

Carlos says:
after our talk during the night
Carlos says:
my guess was confirmed
Carlos says:
10.000$
Hils says:

Lonni says:
DJGers have loaded them up, but they won't pony up.
judy says:
right
judy says:
they know that now
Hils says:
ross we are talking about going in with a bid with the members
Carlos says:
so the plan is together up to 13.000$
judy says:
we will bid separately
Carlos says:
if it goes higher the forum is not worth more than that
judy says:
but to make it look like there are more bidders
ross says:
I lkie that
Hils says:
Are you in?
Lonni says:
Thought you might, Ross!
Carlos says:
I knew you would like it ross
ross says:

Hils says:
L
judy says:
i'll brb
Carlos says:
I will propose to join forces
Carlos says:
they will put 6.5k
Hils says:
that will give us a reserve
Carlos says:
and we will put 6.5k
Carlos says:
right babe
Carlos says:
we will do the biding by stages
Carlos says:
in a coordinated way
ross says:
why stages
Hils says:
keep the price down
Carlos says:
to see if there is a third party ross and keep the price down
ross says:
does that keep trhe price down
Carlos says:
it is let's call it a strategic move
Carlos says:
will it keep it down?
Carlos says:
who knows
Carlos says:
LOL
Hils says:
we shall soon find out
judy says:
walkd has bid twice but don't think he is a serious threat
Carlos says:
I thin that the last step getting to the 13.000
Hils says:
I am surfe he is aprekelife
Carlos says:
should be done by then for the reasons I explained
judy says:
well, he was banned lasst night again
ross says:
the only serious biding is at last minute
Carlos says:
the member will feel more secure
Carlos says:
not then but them
judy says:
not with this auction, ross
Hils says:
how do you know the names of the otehr bidders - if youa re registered cna you see who theya re?
Carlos says:
no
judy says:
no
Carlos says:
yo only see bidder 1
Carlos says:
bidder2 etc
judy says:
you can go to his profile since he commented and see he has 2 bids
Hils says:
Oh so how we do we know its him?
Hils says:
Oh I see
judy says:
his email is david walker
Carlos says:
because Paul deleted some of his comments
judy says:
on our site
Carlos says:
as well as knudt comment
Hils says:
freya?
ross says:

Carlos says:
a troll
Hils says:
Parkelife - a known troll
Hils says:
a fake preist and fake butler
Lonni says:
Fake bigshot
Hils says:
on OS he has conviced af ew he is a knight of the realm
Carlos says:
what do you think ?
Hils says:
I think its a good plan Carlos
Hils says:
I feel happier
Carlos says:
and I'm the king of Anatolya
judy says:
i like the plan but we have to bid 4 hrs in advance or it goes anotehr 4 hours
Hils says:
Your Majesty I bow down
Lonni says:
I'm scared to death!
Carlos says:
Hilsita if you are happy my sleepless night was worthwhile
Hils winks:
Play "Kiss"
judy says:
don't be, lonni, if we don't win we will have another home that will look the same
judy says:
very close and better
Hils says:
I liek the idea of lchris sorting out all of the ads and getting the forum sorted
Carlos says:
now if we lose we will have a brand new state of the art forum
Carlos says:
for less than 600$
Hils says:
I was a bit miffed when I saw Pauls response to your post about premium payments
judy says:
nic emailed dani and i this morning asking for info and link to auction
Carlos says:
Susan will buy it
Carlos says:
LOL
Hils says:
interesting
Hils says:
Nic might buy it
Carlos says:
I don't think so let's not be carried away
Hils says:
Indeed
Lonni says:
I have to say this. My greatest concern all along has been for Susan and how the sale of her largest and most famous fansite will look to outsiders. I don't want it to seem that her fans are losing interest - we know that's not true, but the media could play it that way. She is my greatest concern.
Carlos says:
Ross you still in?
judy says:
no, dont think she will buy but they are interested
Christine says:
Hiya
Lonni says:
Hey Chris.
ross says:
nothing changed so i'm still in
Hils says:
well they want to know whats going on - they ahve an interst in the outcome
Carlos says:
Chrissy baby
Hils says:
oi
Christine says:
Carlos my hunk! (see you have competition, Hils!) ;P
Hils says:
sniff
Carlos says:
jajajajajaja
Carlos says:
now Mary Jo wnats my pic before I become again admin
Carlos says:
my reputation preceeds me
Carlos says:
and last but not least
Carlos says:
the forum is not worth more than the assets it has
Carlos says:
I consulted with the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce her in Chile
Carlos says:
and he told me that to pay more than that would be totally foolish
Christine says:
Agreed
ross says:
If no ads as I understand the plan the site is worth a lot less business wise
Carlos says:
we will keep the ads
Carlos says:
but we will choose them once we have the site
ross says:
I need an update on what is planned
Carlos says:
we need Amazon to publisize Susan
Christine says:
The ads can be a lot more targeted to the demographic. That's lChris' expertise too.
Carlos says:
amazon is a must, remember I was against but my chairman siaid we should go for it
Carlos says:
it is the showcase for selling susan CD's
Carlos says:
and we should be the first to use it
Lonni says:
Indeed - I like that.
Carlos says:
it brings a benefit ok, then the retun on investment will be covered in time
Hils says:
and play.com
Carlos says:
of course
Carlos says:
proportinally our pledges will be reduced by half
Carlos says:
and on the understanding that mine is a donation, I don't want to be paid, or reimbursed
Carlos says:
because it is against the rules of my company
Carlos says:
as I cannot be in charge financially of the project
Hils says:
I'll have yours then
Carlos says:
jajajajajajaja
Carlos says:
it will be used for upgrades
Carlos says:
are all clear?
Carlos says:
any questions?
Christine says:
No questions atm.
Carlos says:
ok
Carlos says:
now we have to sell the plan to the others
Carlos says:
LOL
Hils says:
tehre is an evil bit of me that thinks we should go for plan b since we have the sb domain name now and just move house and leave paul in the poo
Carlos says:
OT is I receive one more pm from Allikat I will scream
Christine says:
Aiiiieee!
Carlos says:
she has sent me 11 today
Christine says:
omg
ross says:
what about?
Carlos says:
her premium subscription
Carlos says:
she wants to cancel it
Carlos says:
after I convinced her to remain in the forum
Carlos says:
holy cow
Hils says:
maybe you should make an announcement posting Pauls reply
Carlos says:
jajajajajaja
ross says:
What was paul's reply
Carlos says:
his reply is in the staff room ross
ross has left the conversation.
Carlos says:
oi vei
Carlos says:
did I make him angry?
Hils says:
lol
Christine says:
Does it matter? ;P
ross has been added to the conversation.
Carlos says:
whenever I think that Paul has pocketed 13.000 and now we have to pay that back to have the forum
Carlos says:
I feel a murderous streak in me
Hils says:
Dont - it makes me very cross
Lonni says:
It is for Susan.
Hils says:
It hink once he has gone the angry posters are going to be pout in force
Lonni says:
I do too, Hils.
Hils says:
lchris said there was a lot of anger towards him
Carlos says:
we will let them vent
Carlos says:
but no neme calling
Carlos says:
I know I have some pm's
Hils says:
Martah Ellen did that via PM
Hils says:
she was absolutely furious
Carlos says:
yes
Carlos says:
and a few more
Hils says:
I ahve met her and she is such a gentle soul
Hils says:
I was amazed
Lonni says:
LOL - never know about the quiet ones.
Carlos says:
that is life and life is about looking forward
Hils says:
indeed
Carlos says:
so let's look forward
Lonni says:
I still think Paul is selling out simply because he's pissed.
Christine says:
I cancelled my Paypal sub.
Hils says:
overf me not telling him about Susan?
Hils says:
jeez what a baby
Hils says:
mind he was like that voer th tickets
Hils says:
threatening to shut the forum we were all e mailing team Subo like headless chickens
Carlos says:
I think he has been thinking about it for a long time
Carlos says:
Doc had the same suspicions
Hils says:
sorry I am venting now
Hils says:
inappropriate
Hils just sent you a Nudge!
Hils says:

Lonni says:
Well he was hardly ever around to know what was happening.
