nav Are you tired of the TwoMillionaires Controversy?, Voice your opinion here!

I am committed for the long haul...until the necessary changes are implemented to bring Prosper back on track.

TwoMillionaires is not the underlying problem here. It is merely presenting as the symptom of the growing cancer.

At some point, we will look back on this as a temporary defect, and Prosper will be better off in every way.

Earlier today, I alternately became TwoMillionaires1 and TwoMillionaires2 for a few minutes -- enough time for a few people to see my endorsement of StaciM's listing under the 2M1 name before I morphed back to myself...what a relief![/QUOTE]

That sounds...painful.

I am too new around here, do I even *want* to ask what the controversy is about?

I'll tire of it when the 2mils games have been halted by Prosper and significant changes have been made to the group model

SIGNIFICANT

But hasn't Prosper alrady taken away the biggest advantage 2mils and other mega groups had - top billing in the search engine? This was 2mils hook. If they keep the listiongs high and their 5 star rating, they would be the first group new borrowers see. Now that Prosper has changed the programming, 2mils falls in line right where they should be.

I could be. But then again, maybe not.

Every time I have hit "search all groups" one or both of their groups is on the front page

and i hardly call that 'significant' changes to the group model or any change is the antics of 2mils dishonest portrayals of their group stats, their abilities or anything else--which last i checked, has not been halted by prosper

What a relief...there had been SO FEW 2M-related posts today.

Glad the drought is over! Thanks, risaroo!

Not at all. But if there is no 2Mil, 1Bil really doesn't make sense to newbies.

Anyone who wants to call me a sock puppet is dead wrong and extremely misguided - that is, IF you were talking about me. If not, then disregard and carry on with the polling. :D

so does FTL still make socks for puppets?

Does Tim the Tool Man make stands for stooges?

ask yourself that question. you fit the description quite well.

Nah, I'm thinking it's more you than I. For one, I don't go with the status quo. I make my own determinations about who I want to support and how. You, on teh other hand, are simply a joke. You follow others like a lemming, rehashing other's ideas and retyping their thoughts, passing them off as if their your own. Think for yourself for once and voice something that's original. How many times has the "sock puppet" analogy been used before. At least you could come up with a more original insult. However, since I know you have a big ego and you have to get the last word, go ahead and blast away. I won't respond as I am beyond such petty silliness.
