Reseller Ratings is gone!

<<

<< The ResellerRatings database is still up. >>



The most important half, the customer comments, links to the old URL and comes up with a permission denied.

%$#! Are you serious? Damn I thought I'd be able to at least save it locally but without that, it's kinda worthless.

What handy dandy application can save an entire website locally to a hard drive?

<< I'd gladly pay for it, in a NY minute. I also happen to understand business survival. >>

Well, we have one taker! ;-)

The fact is, the vast majority of people bail-out when their favorite websites are hurting for money. First, they ask for donations, and people complain because they're merely asking - nicely. Then when that doesn't work, they charge a small and reasonable fee, then everyone bails like rats from a sinking ship.

You know it, and I know it.

The rule seems to be...if you're gonna charge for it, its best to charge for it from square one. Once people get accustomed to it for free...

 

[Squisher]

This is truely SUCK. Wonder if the pages are cached on google like heatware was?

 

[RossMAN]

Ok I found these applications, which is the best?

<< Yeah, Earthweb sucks. First, they destroy Sysopt.com and now Resellerratings.com.

Here is the link. BTW, TechIMO.com was created by the guy who created Sysopt.com and was then booted from it. Then, a mass exodus occurred, leaving sysopt.com a shell of what it was...

Sysopt.com was my first message board addiciton... I was elite there...

>>



You mean ultimate? There were no elites, and anyone could get ultimate status by post count. I was one of many ultimates. Sysopt was a great board, and much of the community migrated over to Techimo.

Internet.com sucks. The way they let go of Scott and his staff, then banned moderator's/member's accounts without warning or provocation, and the censoring of posts that broke no stated rules.

And their further mistakes with resellerratings.com makes me wonder how this company stays in business.

Teleport Pro is a spider which will suck down a Web site using all references within a URL

I have used it over the last 4-5 years to dig up research for kids by feeding an output page from a search engine.

Another guy uses it to download horse racing results from a web site to put into a handicap spreadsheet for his use.

Back in December I asked about the status of ResellerRatings, and, of course, got no real answer.

I cannot afford to pay for web sites/forums. There are just too many that I use. I don't use recurring subscriptions (except for cell phone and cable modem) because they nickel and dime your budget down to nothing. If internet sites are all moving to pay for use, I will just quit using them.

hot diggity darn

 

[junthin]

Is there anyone making a ResellerRating replacement? If not...

I can help make one...or just flat out make one. Any ideas? LMK via PM or email. Thanks!

bizrate

 

[Russ]

Strangely, none of the vendors at BizRate has a low rating.

Teleport's site didn't want to download for me, but the same version can be downloaded here
I'm putting it on my hard drive now....I'll tell you guys how big it is uncompressed when it's done.

<< iamwiz82: I was elite there... >>




whats that supposed to mean?

looking for something here???

Thanks, you're downloading everything right?

 

[Triumph]

damnit! Think of all of the knowledge that is lost now. It'll take years to get another website up to the database size that resellerratings had. WHY THE F*CK??

 

[DanFungus]

Ok, I downloaded only Pictures and Text, (should I have gotten *everything* ?) and it is 154MB! (5357 :Q objects) And so far I can't find the index HTML file to open it...

 

[Stark]

That sucks.

 

[DanFungus]

w00t. Silly that it's named rrgateway.html, anyways, I am checking by working offline that it works

 

[DanFungus]

ok, it works, except for the searching function. But you can browse by the name of the company, and all is well

 

[John]

I was @ RR a few days ago. i saw no warning of an early exit.

 

[JellyBaby]

RR gone? This is exceptionally lame and does a huge disservice to the smaller online merchants who built-up a great rating. They just got the cold shaft. Plus those consumer comments were useful.

I can't believe this was done without warning, either. Internet.com. I will remember them.

 

[LiLRiceBoi]

I heard that Scott was gonna make another resellerrating-like site for techimo in a few weeks.

OMG, your right, Tiger Direct probably THE sh!etiest load of sheister crooks on the net has a 8.9 out of 10. YAH RIGHT at Resseler Ratings Tiger Direct is 2.9 out of 7.

Biz Rate = Hot Garbage
