I was always an advocate of automated trading over systems where you actively need to create trades. I still think the queue system, despite its flaws, it a pretty good one... so long as there is active management of the economy. The original queue system used at Goozex, IMHO, got too big to be...

My lawyer didn't believe so either, but he couldn't come up with any case law that we could have used to avoid the discovery phase of a suit (which is where my costs would have gone way up). Putting it plainly, with a newborn at the time, it was either legal fees or diapers. :)

They didn't like that I told people about VGFive via the Goozex messaging system, which I only did after another new trading site had done the same thing. I recall that quite a few of us asked the Goozex team for guidance on if other sites advertising was allowed, and there was no response...

That's a valid point and something that has a story behind it. I did hope to launch something once the site went down, assuming the legality of it was covered. The problem with "saving the points" was that I never expected the site to be shutdown by the web host rather than Goozex themselves...

Well, the core of it is basically what people speculated. It was either shut the site down, sell the site to Goozex, or risk whatever legal action might have arose from ignoring the messages that I got from Goozex regarding VGFive. In the end I sold the site in order to keep the community going...

So at the risk of bringing back a zombie thread... It looks like Goozex (Bay) in any shape or form, is completely gone. Their company filing expired in Nevada, their lawsuit against their creditor was dismissed, and their stock was delisted for failure to file anything of the required...

I can assure you that I'm not involved with any of the other trading sites, nor do I have any plans to be after everything that happened last year. I don't believe that the Goozex folks (both original and current owners) are involved in any of the sites that are still operational.

I can confirm that VGFive is no more, although that's just based on me knowing that I can't access the site on the back end. I'm assuming the bill wasn't paid and the hosting company cut off of the owners by taking down the site. We've got a community site going that's basically just forums now...

Sorry for being late in replying to this, but unfortunately it's probably an IE issue. What exactly are you attempting to print?

I'm actually working on a "put on hold if timeout" feature. This should be going live on the site in the near future.

I wasn't around to confirm if it was up or down, but I'm not seeing anything in the logs to show that it was offline. Were you trying to get to a specific page (if so, I'd guess it was My Offers)? If you're still having issues, I can take a look and see if it's something with your account.

Site was down for a few minutes. Should be working again now. I've been bug fixing today so the site goes down intermittently as I apply fixes.

VGFive is operating the same as it was before the sale. Tokens can be purchased again (although it now takes 2 tokens to receive a physical item, 1 for digital items). The queues and all other trading-related details haven't been altered in the least. I'm still running the day-to-day operations...

You can either put the code in the "tracking" box and confirm shipment, or put it into a message in the discussion area.

Price changes are still being managed the same way they always have been. There have literally been zero changes to the site beyond requiring two tokens for physical trades. Just to clear up that confusion. :) Right now I'm working on some much needed improvements to the UI and usability of the...
