    Ok. Keep me updated on what you decide to do.
    I can't do that, sorry bro. I'm sure that's one of the main reasons someone would purchase the site, it's design.

    There is obviously a chance that this hnas is a real person that just signed up to post his interest in your site but there is also the possibility that is is just an alter ego or friend posting to shill bid.

    for someone that seems to be here all the time and rebid only 7 minutes after the last bid, he doesn't seem to post much at all.

    Any way you can show that this isn't some shill bidder? I was completely interested in this site until there seemed to be some sneaky bidding going on. Maybe just being paranoid but it smells fishy to me.

    I have sent him a few PM's since the bid, he has yet to respond. The admins can check the IP addresses, I have no idea who this dude is. Here are a few screenshots from our PMs. I only have one that he sent, since I cleared my inbox. But I have a few that I sent to him.

    The rest of the images, since the site only allows 4 per post.

    Still feels shady for some reason. I'm probably just being silly but it really just felt like shill bidding...which btw, a smart shill bidder wouldn't need the same IP to do.

    Although I don't know if it is just an issue with the time settings of the forum and your preferences, posting those pms does confuse the timeline a bit:

    May 28th 2007, 5:31 pm - image of pm with hnas upping his bid before being outbid by Zagul.
    May 28th 2007, 6:27 pm - Current bid is at $550, via PM from Zagul.
    Last edited by Ma2Angelo : May 28th 2007 at 6:34 pm - EDIT: Current bid is at $555, via PM from hnas.

    Either way, the auction is over now. As long as hnas pays up and this doesn't happen to end up relisted because "buyer never paid" then it wouldn't seem too fishy. Then again, if it is relisted then it definitely looks like shill bidding...at least to me.

    The homepage needs updated once every 2-3 weeks or so. The moderators handle all of the work on the forums. You can even get somebody from the forums to update the homepage for you, it's a pretty easy ship.

    I don't know what else to tell you about the situation. I don't have any proof that I'm not shill bidding, so it's going to be hard to get you to change your mind. I'm sure the admins can look over the PM logs, to see that Zagul did PM me before hnas. I could take the last bid from carlnewlen for $500, and go from there. That's if the admins can't be my witness on this one by reviewing PM logs.

    By the way, my time settings are messed up. I never cared enough to change them. The clock above this post right now reads 7:23 PM. It's exactly 11:30 PM here in Pennsylvania. So, it's obviously way off.

    Are there any legal issues with the logos and images? Do you own them or get new ones?

    We created the images, but we don't own the logos. I've never had any legal trouble with the logos, they have been there for awhile. They can be taken down, if needed.

    Like I said before, I cleaned out my inbox and don't have alot of the messages. In this screenshot, you can clearly see that I sent a PM to Zagul BEFORE hnas. The admins are the only ones with actual proof I guess.

    Sounds good. I will let you know if the guy gets back to me. I'm going to give it a couple days.
