Even though it’s an old and already clearly answered question about eCardModels, there’s no need for some of the rudeness and bullying in this thread.

Well, I for one will not show up and completely ignore the original topic of discussion and start posting ads for my store and my models.
petestein's assumption and assertion that ecardmodels is done and over is what is uncalled for. (and this isnt the first time he's made this claim). The topic is/was "what is the status of ecardmodels?" And I answered that question. Petestein has no connection with ecardmodels and has no inside information, so why he feels the need to spread the word that ecardmodels is dead is unexplainable and unacceptable. (sounds more like bullying to me?) And as far as ignoring the entire topic of discussion to post your own list of for sale models? There are areas for listing buy and sell. Bakker could have started his own thread to promote his own products. But not only did he attempt to reaffirm the idea that ecardmodels is defunct, (more bullying?) he rudely took the opportunity to misdirect the topic to his own benefit. And I don't have to stand for that. If you are not interested in ecardmodels coming back, then why the hell are you even in this thread? Why bother reading if you think the topic is already done and over? And why try to steal the attention away for your own cause? To those who genuinely care about ecardmodels, I'm sorry I don't have anything more definitive to offer you. We (the staff) want nothing more than to get this store back up and running, and are trying very hard to do so. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and support. By all means, shop elsewhere, don't put your hobby on hold for us. I would never tell you otherwise. But I hope if and when we are back, you'll drop by and say hello.

The company I work for decided to create a new website. It took about two years. And this was with people working on it full time. It also ended up costing around a million dollars. I’m sure Chris and company are doing the best they can with the time and resources at their disposal.
I can certainly relate to what Dave is saying about this being a side project for those with other career and family obligations. If I didn’t have to get up every morning and go to work, I’d have all the models designed and built that I could ever dream of. When the new website is up and running, I’m sure it will all be worth the wait. Dave, let me know if you need me to re-send any of the files for my kits. This might be a blessing in disguise as there are some corrections and tweaks I’d like to make on a few of my kits.

Dear Airdave,
at the bottom every one of your often somewhat aggressive mails is a link to your own website and shop - so how about pushing my own store and models? And the available models on the list are normally all offered through Ecardmodels - I am just trying to recoup some of my loss on their being out of the running. And yes: I am trying to get some publicity for two new models coming up. |

And yes, as another has mentioned, you "can comment and post anything here as long as it doesn't insult other members and doesn't promote piracy". -However- "Following forum rules concerning respect to others" (as the other person put it) usually means that if you are going to post something significantly different from the thread topic, you simple say "Hey, here is my new thread concerning <subject> in this thread" and provide link to the new thread. (Ok, probably more of an etiquette thing, but hopefully people will get the gist of it). What keeping you from setting up a link in your signature? It is unfortunate that the rebuilding process is taking so long. Having dealt with e-commerce half a lifetime ago, I can assure you that there are a whole boatload of things that need to be tested, tweaked, examined, idiot-proofed, and so forth, before the new store goes live. Heaven help you is some little error still manages to creep in after all that, because online customers will have an absolute fit.

I certainly look forward to the return of eCardModels, and I don’t think anyone wants to see it disappear. Clearly though, frustration/disappointment is running a little high.
It’s been fun to see it grow from humble beginnings to a powerhouse, go-to site for purchasing and browsing a huge, wide variety of paper model kits. I was quite happy with the design and functionality of the site as it was. Now, even though it’s true a major update/redesign of a website can take two years to plan and launch, I believe much of the frustration comes from the existing store just being gone. I’ve been perplexed as to why it was not restored from back-ups. We’ll just have to wait for the new store, I’m sure it’s being worked on as fast as reasonable.

Sgoti:
thanks for the suggestion of a signature with a link. Never thought of that. Just figured out how that works; hope it does work, and hope it is within the (unwritten?) rules of the forum. About these 'forum rules' - where do I find these, or are they indeed 'unwritten'? And about threads veering wildly off-topic: I have seen a great many of those over the years, and nobody ever seemed to object - and certainly not in the heated words I am being subjected to in this thread. |
