Look,

everyone who gets kicked out is going to have some sort of reaction. I can fully understand. The thing is though how many of us were parking our names with Afternic when they canceled our adult names with no notice at all?.

So even though it may not be the best way to keep your customers happy, many of us, I have noticed will still support a company that makes drastic changes.

Matt has some business sense and saving the ship is his priority now.

I hope all who are somewhat and probably deserved bitter about this see that he is making every sensible option available to not choose big or little domain owners. Saying he has a different agenda is not true as we will find in a while many small domainers will be announcing that they are still members.

He is allowing members known in Namepros to come back in with a simple email to him. So if you are known to Matt and your account has been deleted, email him and he may reinstat you. That is awesome and I hope many who have had their accounts closed take him up on that.

I am going to start looking to Bodis to improve quickly. On a lighter note, you can pretty much count on it, ( it can't get much worse).

Enjoy those you care about.

I think Bodis should be sued in the form of a class action. I'm confident we would win and a law firm would do it at no cost.

Look, everyone knew this was a BETA but you don't go into to BETA to mess around with your user's money and play with them like a puppet on a string. Everytime Matt popped up here it was like God spoke. Looked more like a pump and dump company on the pinksheets then a real professional run company like it was portrayed.

I am especialy mad for all the time which was put into this by all these users.

And BTW where is yesterday's revenue for those who got kicked out? Must be 1000's of $$

100% payout is a figment of many peoples imagination. No company can run on 100% payout without as DnPresident says in a nutshell "shaving". Shaving is the process of taking a little here and charging a little there. Terminating an account here or there and pocketing the proceeds. I call it a short term business plan.

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.


Wow. 2.5 cents per impression and 30 cents per click. That's much more than what SEDO pays.

Also, they SEO optimized their own parking page?

Hmm... Let me see...

It wasn't the right business decision. In a business your reputation values the most and his went down a lot with this move. It was just the last thing that could save Bodis. Only that it isn't good enough in my opinion.

Like blaknite said I also think that many including myself will never go with Bodis again even if the revenue will be much better than other parking companies.

This implies people such as myself were banned/suspended because of suspected click fraud. Maybe if my earnings hadn't dropped from $400 to $100 per month I would care.

Something I do care about is still not being paid for September. Net 45 my ass.

When a company does something like this, it means they're about to close shop.

Wrong move in my opinion!

I am very disappointed with this business decision from Matt. I think a warning would have been a reasonable first step instead of seeing a email in your outlook that you did not make the cut. I would have moved some more names to Bodis to make the cut that is how much I liked Bodis.

Bodis has their reasons but I am looking to other companies to make business with now.

I have always been a fan of Bodis but that has changed now unfortunately!

See ya Bodis!

I guess this thread should be closed now. Bodis is dead.

This post seems ironic now:

I couldn't find the voting buttons for this poll, but I vote yes.

I vote "Closed" since it isn't a "REVOLUTION" but more of secret society now.

Got kicked out as well.

However, I don't blame Matt. I think he just didn't know what he was getting into.

Look at the launch of Imodo and how careful they are to let only trusted members in first, and making sure they have everything ironed out, along with methods in place to keep out fraud.

I think in the end everyone's been kicked out

Was this all not obvious to you guys when you joined? His first post seemed too good to be true and it just had that taste of BS (I've tried it before) all over it.

I have been with Parked since I started domaining, and I will stay with Parked til I am done, they have shown to be a reliable parking company, that is in this business for the long wrong.

Well,
I got suspended also. All that work that I spent optimizing a few hundred domains is my main complaint. I am happy that my 80 top earning revenue domains never moved to Bodis. They were coming after Bodis worked out their bugs. Oh well, life goes on. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I wish Matt well and hope his business flourishes. I wasted to many hours here (this post) and with Bodis already. He was nice about it though. I can still log in and will still get paid. Now I have over 200 homeless domains. I suggest that this post be closed now, as it will hurt Matt in the long run. You gave us hope and excitement and it was all worth the experience. Thx.
Sincerely,
Homeless Domains In Wyoming
PS: I see HomelessDomains.net is available to reg. I like that name ^_^.
HOMELESSDOMAINER.COM is available! That is a cute name.
Remember Matt, I promoted you and stood by you loyally via posting positive blogs and posts when others were putting you down in the beginning! I must admit, I am somewhat embarrassed now!

Matt, you've really blown it.
The way you've handled the whole Bodis thing is really third rate. Your personal reputation has taken a huge hit.
I suggest you retain the services of a "professional" who has some experience in running a business properly.
