I'm with you, Trina.

We have the hardest working editors that anyone could possibly ask for and a webmaster that has even thought about raising the membership prices since he started them. Granted, upgrades have been promised and not kept..... but how exactly does that impede your ability to enter all the great sweeps that OLS offers? I feel sorry for those that state 'Well.... I'm not going to renew my premium membership due to the upgrade not happening'. You're not hurting anyone but yourselves by limiting the amount of sweeps/forums that you'll have access to on OLS. You won't be hurting Brent. For every member that does not renew their membership..... there are at least 5 new members that go premium (I'm guessing at the numbers but I'm seeing a lot of new members going green upon joining OLS). For those that have been here any significant amount of time, you know the dealio...... it'll happen when it happens. As for me, my premium membership is set to expire next month and I'll be paying that $30 for another year of being premium here at OLS without a minute of hesitation.

I agree with you. I am just really, really looking forward the upgrade where you can prioritize your my sweeps

I honestly don't care how long it takes. The only thing I am anxious to change is to have the blogs listed in a separate section. I know they have great priizes, but I just don't have time to keep making comments, and besides I don't like to see them in google later, so a separate listing for them, so I wouldn't have to spend so much time trolling for non blog sweeps would be great.

You can have it show no blogs on the dropdown boxes on main page where is says all and or premium ect...

I have been a member since May of this year and I just love OLS. I was looking forward to the upgrades too, but it is what it is. I can wait. I know a little about programming, web development and the like. It's no joke. It's hard work and very time consuming.

If there was no mention of an upgrade then I think no one would have any issues. I don't know. But all I can say is that when the upgrades are ready I'm confident OLS will be even cooler than it already is!!!


Keep up the good work guys!

One thing I think a lot of people are missing is the word "Goal." A goal is not a promise, it is a stated time when he HOPES to have it done by, it is not set in stone. Sure I came on here September 1st all excited hoping the site would be updated, but I wasn't upset when it was the same. When promises start being made is when people have the right to be angry.

Thank you so much, that is a big help.

That being said, the one rule I hold to heart about software development is to never promise something and not deliver. Under promise and over deliver. That makes customers happy. Over promising and under delivering drives customers away. We have seen several promised deadlines come and go. At times we have waited long after a promised date to receive any news regarding the update. Brent, please. Take your time. Test properly. Wait until everything is fully tested and works properly before releasing any new versions.... But for God's sake, please take down any promised delivery dates. Believe me when I say that I understand working under deadlines and issues not under your control. That is my life. Stop promising things that you might not be able to deliver. Many of us (I'm guessing that part) would be fine with whatever time line it takes, but the broken promises sting. Just do what you need to do and surprise us when it's ready.

Agreed. Thank you.

i don't care about hearing about anymore updates or new "news" because what if that stuff never pans out?
so im sure that when Brent is ready to show us all the bells & whistles of the new and improved OLS that he will

Doesn't bother me either way. I'm a premium member. I'm entering sweeps. I'm winning. Love the site, always will. Thanks Brent.

When you get the new site up and running,could the sweeps lists have a default setting of NO BLOGS?

I would rather just wake up one morning and hooray! Upgrade done and working. I hate anticipating anything for any length of time.

For the 950th time in this thread, you can set the listings so that there are "NO BLOGS" included.

In addition to NO BLOGS, how about Also NO TWITTER and NO FACEBOOK!
