    | Absolutely horse crap. It means he is running out of space and wants to move off anyone not giving him a couple hundred a month. I am surprised at how completely unprofessional this is. There was NEVER anything that said there were minimums. I sincerely hope your business takes a huge hit because of this. Your reputation certainly has.

| Seems like this thread is going to turn for the worst with regards to Public Relations between domainers and Bodis.com. It is a shame that it is coming to this as I feel Bodis provided us with a great service. |

    | Got the email as well. I understand Matt'smove, and it is his business, but at the same time it was totally untransparent. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/parking-and-traffic-monetization/318378-new-revolution-domain-parking-here-bodis.html Matt did not let time for people to change even their nameservers. Personally i hae hundreds of domains there from different registrars, and I am currently very busy with my offline work, so I don't even have time to move my domains somewhere else. And Bodis is a perfect example of planning time vs implementation time. While one cannot consider all the aspects of his business, the time to do the planning, to clear all the aspects that may possibly arise must be VEEERY BIG. Hope that everyone will learn something from here, and I wish Mat all the best with his service. By the end Bodiswill be another restrictive parking program but that may be fine for him, but all this mess around him was a loose - loose situation, both for Matt both for domainers who spent so many times customising their pages with text and images. Regards, Alex |

| I didn t receive the email (yet?) but I understand frustation. I have been customising around 80 sites and picking right (and free) pics resizing and all the rest. Preparing hundreds of them i can imagine is LOADS of work, and I feel for you...

| yup, I've been kicked out too. No big deal. My 5 domains earned more at Parked today than my entire portfolio at Bodis in the past 2 days. All that I can say is that this is just the way NOT to do business. Bodis.com turned out to be nothing but an elaborate sham. I really cannot see it surviving for a long time with these business ethics. ciao |

| I surely agree on here, this is a question of ethics. I am very curious out of those 300 accounts, how many will stay with Bodis. And I feel for everybody who thinks this was a waste of time.

| Mindless: I appreciate what you are saying, but you are lucky to not be affected by this as others have been. I've already spent about an hour updating DNS servers for domains and I'm going to have another hour or so to get them all changed. Then I have to enter them all into the new parking service and it's going to take me weeks to get them all set up and optimized. I was going to pull what I had at Bodis, but although I can get into my account, I can't access the information I set up for my domains. Matt may re-instate some long-time users here, but why the special treatment? And why didn't he put that in the email? If someone is not a NamePros user or misses the posts about that, they are left out. Personally, since I have never committed fraud and consider myself loyal to any partners that I work with, this makes me sick. I was dropped by Chitika a couple of years ago and they wouldn't talk to me and now this. Customes or partners are not just individuals scattered around with no voice. We have the ability to make or break companies and have our story heard. If Bodis really inteded to be the "revolution" they said they were, they should have shown no mercy to fraudsters, but treated their partners like actual partners. I would have done a lot to maintain my partnership with Bodis, but not I don't care and wish them ill. I know, I should be prefessional and not take it personally. Well, I am trying to be professional, but it also IS personal. They weren't total dicks about the closing of accounts for those that didn't do any fraud, but they still did not handle it right. I don't know, maybe I expect too much. the problem is that we are working together and then they don't allow us to be involved and contribute to a solution of a problem. They don't show any damn loyality is what it is. So to me, there is no revolution, there is only another company stumbling along, treating partners like they don't matter. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=318378 I expected a lot more from them.

| After logging on to Bodis I couldn't see the account had been modified. I didn't receive an email and there was no explanation in my account. I only found what happened after checking this thread. My revenues in the last month or two were not much better than previous at Sedo so I'm not too disappointed about the cancellation but I would have appreciated being told in advance. |

| Understood nielsencl. I actually had prepped my names and started moving them over to other parking companies the past couple weeks as things were going down, I am sure I will be affected by the thinning of the herd at Bodis since my traffic has went down at Bodis due to me moving my domains, I just have not received the message yet.... ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=318378 Trust me, there are many things that were done incorrectly and were rather unprofessional in this whole "debacle". But at the same time Matt is looking at this as a business and making decisions that we do not like (and trust me I do not like it, but more just saying I can understand it from an operational point of view in my earlier message, managing 300 is easier than 4000) I had to look at my domains as a business and chose to move them as I started to have diminishing returns at Bodis. Due to that I will like lose all the time and effort I put into Bodis, that does frustrate me, I need more hours in a day as it is. Anyway. Hope everyone that celebrates Thanksgiving here has A GREAT ONE!!!!! |

| No hard feelings from me. Haven't received an email yet though. Rev was: August 2007 16421 1379 8% $424.94 September 2007 22763 3610 16% $911.63 October 2007 22778 3213 14% $543.11 November 2007 10829 1042 10% $113.80 As you can see rev tanked, so I made the business decision to signup with parked and see how my names do there. Nothing personal, it's all business, and I can understand how Matt feels from his end.

| I've got the email. Feels so sad. So I sent a PM to Matt. I know some of us are angry, disappointed, shocked at being suspended. But if you put yourself in Matt's shoes, he made the right business decisions. The fact that Matt is willing to make unpopular decisions to turn around the revenue means that he has what it takes to succeed. Once he sets his objectives, he'll do whatever it takes to get there. And if you leave your emotions behind and approach this like a business decision, you'd also do the same thing I did. Send a PM to Matt. Why give up the chance to own an account with 100% revenue? As for nielsencl's comment about "Matt may re-instate some long-time users here, but why the special treatment? And why didn't he put that in the email? If someone is not a NamePros user or misses the posts about that, they are left out." ........ Problem is Matt doesn't know which accounts belong to scammers and which are not. So he suspends all of them. Signs that help Matt judge whether an account holder is a scammer or not are such as the NP member's reputation and how long he's been a member at Namepros. Which is why Matt says to PM him if you're a long time member of NP. This way, Matt can filter out the scammers and let in only the people he knows and are familiar with. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=318378 Lets just leave our criticisms behind and let Matt do whatever he has to do to turn around Bodis to its high revenue days. |

Does being a forum member somehow increase the quality and quantity of traffic my domains are generating? This offer seems more a popularity ploy and in no way addresses the reason that our accounts are being closed without notice and, as this offer proves, without any just cause.

| I guess it's just business I got the letter today also. I guess it's just business. The part that sucks is that I have done a lot of work on about 100 domains - customized text, pictures, keywords, etc. My revenue had dropped from $15 per day to $2 per day - but I stuck it out. I really thought it was the right thing to do - to stick it out - even though they were really struggling. MAtt doesn't know me, but I just thought it was the right thing to do. Kindof ironic to get he boot - when I thought I was sticking up for him through a tough time.
