I bring it up because many people left over Orange, some came back and then left again when this site lauched and they couldn't make trades.
Or at least, as easily as they should ahve been able to. You remember all the whining when this site launched. People wanted to old site and were saying that at least there you could have made trades.
And while TPTB may have knew they had a problem with Orange, the public stance for far too long was, this is the way that it is, get used to it. We spent a lot of time and effort on Orange, we ain't going back so stop complaining. Never mind that the MISC board used to roll several times an hour or the MOVIES board a few times at day. They ran away a lot of their base with Orange, got some of it back when they went back to the old board but lost more when they went to this version. Once a company pisses off a customer it is awful hard to get them back. HSX tried to become Facebook with Orange and that went on for weeks, not just one week.
And FWIW, I really like this board *now*. The changes they have implemented are good and make the game better. But there for a while, trading was hard and slow and there have been a number of glitches. There always will be problems but IMHO, this site launched before the problems with trading were nailed down. Among others.
Do you notice the decline in trading lately? Oct 07, 19:07
The biggest problem with HSX is that they rushed this beta before it was ready and it cost them a lot of players. Oct 07, 19:44
I disagree. They had a suitable beta period and I think the new site is perfectly fine with a lot of improvements. {nm} Oct 07, 19:50
It is fine *now*, but it was far from it when they closed down the old site and started this one. Oct 07, 19:58
You're talking about the Orange site which they realized was a mistake within ONE WEEK and reverted to the old site. Oct 07, 20:09

Ding ding ding! We have a winnah! {nm} Oct 08, 05:40
Gawd, aren't you "sucking up"? Oct 07, 20:21
Are you f*cking kidding me? I'm the *first* person to complain when something's wrong or not working. Oct 07, 20:34
Oh there is much improvement since startup but how is HSX going to get people lost back? {nm} Oct 07, 20:50
I'm sure they'll be doing a lot of advertising once Cantor rolls out and that's directly linked to HSX. {nm} Oct 08, 04:48
The problem with the beta for this version is how they treated the players with the beta of Orange. Oct 08, 04:20
heh, the players on the feedback board might disagree with the "perfectly fine" part ;) {nm} Oct 07, 19:52
Things have always slowed down in September in years past. You're overreacting. {nm} Oct 07, 20:11
And the Market Lab seems to prove otherwise... looks like any other day. {nm} Oct 07, 20:13
I wouldn't say I'm overracting at all. Oct 07, 20:17
I have no idea... I think HSX is more concerned with people trading during the day time than strictly at reset. {nm} Oct 07, 20:19
Sorry, it's my fault. I've been on hiatus since Fantasy Football started. Oct 07, 23:14
trading is light becaue they've made it harder to make money ,particularly for small ports. that is all. {nm} Oct 08, 10:43
