Who else has been robbed

Hold on... I thought myfreego was owned by Andy Bailey and he kindly let other people use it. (he didnt have to) So if he wants to change it... seeing as he is the one that designed it and pays for it, I guess that is up to him

[Nottalot]

Ah I see.

This was something I wasn't involved in..

Sorry I don't agree with that idea Mike.

Fine, if he contacted all the people that were involved and said that the deal was off .

But if he had said nothing and people like Andrew have spent money and wasted time on promoting a link that's not working anymore.......???

That's not on really is it ?

I see what your saying but this was totally third party and nothing to do with VWD from an official point of view so when people invest in something like this they should always keep in the back of there mind that as its 3rd Party it might not go on forever.

I guess a courtesy post to say that it was being changed wouldnt have gone a miss though

...probably the best thing to do would be to contact the person who made the site before accusing them of robbing you..

the site was working fine for all members last week until VWD decided to stop the gag pop up page from working (without notification), I only found out about the change late last week so I changed the code to use the new squeeze page so it would show up for whatever member number was provided in the url, it worked after I changed the code and so I left it alone.

..until I got a (polite) message from MikeC about this thread, 3 minutes later I was able to see that vwd had done something else to their squeeze page that prevented it from showing for the correct member number and so I fixed it.

myfreego is one of hundreds of pages and sites that I have made, I don't check them every single day so I can't know if one of the ones I made for everyone to use stops working unless someone sends me a message about it.

to prevent this kind of thing from happening again?
the best thing to do is to make your own page, if you can't or don't want to do that and have to use someone elses work then please show a little respect and maturity by contacting them first if there's a problem before you call them a thief in a public forum.

Andy

Andy has done many things for the forum members and has frequently shared web sites and lead capture ideas, that where primarily made for his own team.

It shows huge generosity to then share these resources with the folk on the forum that are not within his own group. This sort of accusation is not only uncalled for but an insult.
As Andy rightly says, if you discover a problem, common courtesy would be to contact whoever has shared a web page ( with hosting! ) with you and not make public derogatory remarks.

The buck lies with anybody who uses this sort of unofficial free member offer though... If you have a link that you have not created yourself you should TEST it frequently. It is not up to the creator (Andy in this particular case) to do the tests for you.

We as a forum used to get many member offers of this type, It is hardly surprising after this if after this no more offers are made!

[Andrew Gough]

I publicly apologise for the things I said in this thread against Andy Bailey I am sorry.
I was so furious finding out about the site linking to you and thinking I have lost a lot of money in advertising that my fingers on the keys were quicker than my mind and out it all came.
I again apologise to you Andy and thank you for letting us in the form use this site

well ok then, I know how frustrating it can be to invest in something and it ends up going to a wrong or empty page and I know how easy it is to vent anger via the keyboard while it's still hot in your veins, so I accept your apology, thanks for making it.
