A message from Jared (that dooyoo guy)

That's good to know that on the whole things are back to normal. Thanks for keeping us informed all the way through! Lisa x

Don't mention it. By the way:

1: Switched Reviews are fixed (or so I'm told). If you still have one but didn't report it....I promise not to say "It's your own fault" and will instead get it fixed. It looks like it happened only about a dozen times to people who posted in a specific window of time.

2. Crowns are done. A few people got more crowns than I would normally allow for one week, but since last week was screwy I threw the normal limitations out the window.

:runs off to do more suggestions as we're finally down to the last 100:

I would have thought my eye make-up trauma might have justified a compensatory crown....too bad :-(

Actually it did, but they just gave it to me.

The whole "mascara" review drama is being looked at by our tech guys....who are going bald right now because they thought they'd fixed just about everything until I told them about it.

Perhaps Koshka could not write a review about hair restoration treatments

Kidding, Jared!


Good to read your updates!

I'm at a big work meeting in Prague all week and if you had seen the gravity defying comb-over of our divisional president you wouldn't be joking about hair restorers. I have never seen any large furry animal trained so well to sit still and cling on tight.

It's official: We'll be giving 1000 miles to every user that was active this past month to make up for the fact that our server doom (and my illness) made posting on the site far more complicated than it should have been. Thanks for sticking around and tolerating our house-cleaning. : )

(Expect the miles to materialize very soon.
Also, I finally got the coding that will let me give miles to everyone who was active last October-December 20th (that was the day of the great "Faker Amnesty") 1000 miles each to make up for surviving the dooyoo abuse apocalypse. These miles will be showing up about the same time as the others, so some of you might notice a little unexpected jump. Again, thanks for tolerating as we try to keep the house in order.)

All this and more will be mentioned in the next dooyoo mag with a little more official "you guys are awesome" terminology.

PS: "Active" includes people who read and/or wrote reviews. So when I say "everyone" I really do mean everyone.

Awesome!

Update:
It's DONE!
I have just given out all the miles I was talking about (for The Server Doom of 07 and the Faker/Clicking Cartel doom of 06). No delays, no wondering when it'll finally get done. : )
You know, because you guys are patient enough as is.
Enjoy the miles and there will be an official dooyoo announcement about it very soon.

Very generous of you.

Thanks Jared.

Does that mean that the members who were kicked off last year and are now back on the site will also get the miles

Thanks Jared.

What a magnanimous gesture. Thank you to Jared and Dooyoo and well done on your positive relationship with the community. There are plenty of sites out there who could take a leaf from your book.

Yes, arigato gozaimas from me too!

Thanks Jared and the rest of the dooyoo team! Lisa x

Thanks guys

Cheers!

That Jared's such a dude. I would love to think that someone (anyone) from Ciao-central might actually read this thread and realise just how far they are falling behind!

Or maybe last months double bubble payout was their quite little thank you for months of technical angst.

Yeah right, a goodwill gift from cock up central, not very likely.

We'd stand a better chance of seeing pigs fly then getting anything out of Ciao! Lisa x

You really do walk into these things don't you?

Lol

Excellent stuff.!!

OFF TOPIC (Sorry) but literally about to book flights for Prague...Ba got a deal and a half on BA miles and I can get a wee freebie for my weeks hol in April. So any 4/5 star hotel recommendations in my GB are appreciated, as I am about to trawl websites..!
