Sixty-five views and not one reply.

Thanks for all the feedback folks. What's wrong with the idea anyway?

Yer havin' problems registering . . .

SailRoom is a real puzzle for me . . . I know it is a brilliant idea, and I also know I can get something like this running in a week (that's all it took from deciding to do it and buying the software).

I know this is one of the very few internet/sailing areas not currently covered except by Ebay (in Automotive!!) and I know how busy Ebay is for sailing stuff.

I know I can undercut Ebay's prices and still have more money than sense . . . and I know I can solve any technical problems that arise when it all gets massive.

BUT - how do I get enough people using it?

Someone is going to have to start a sustainable thread on YBW, but it can't be me - too obvious . . .

(Keith - if you are reading this, why don't you do it??? - My real prize for the 1000 post thread . . .)

I presume you've already mentioned it on YBW? I'll have a wee search.

Remember you were going to set up a forwarding email account?

Post by **Nick** » Sat Nov 05, 2005 12:48 am

Probably malted at the time.

Please remind me of the details and I will do it forthwith.

Havnae mentioned SailRoom as I thought it might be pulled - although Keith seems to be pretty easy-going I thought it would be best if someone else mentioned it first.

because I use a Hotmail account. You must have been well wellied!

Send me your Hotmail e-mail again (to nickb@webcraft.co.uk) and I'll have your new BlueMoment address silkie@bluemoment.com set up to forward to in a a wee mini-jiffy.

Have you tried your new e-mail address yet Dave?

If anyone else would like a BlueMoment address to forward to their existing e-mail account then let me know and I'll set one up.

Now - if someone could drop even a teensy mention of SailRoom on YBW it would be much appreciated. Doesn't really even have to be too positive - you know what they say about there being no such thing as bad publicity. I just want folk to go and have a look and know it's there.

Am about to sell an item!! Some lucky sod is about to get a set of new 6" ally cleats for Â£1.99

I`m a little puzzled by this site. The discussion above seems to indicate that Sailroom has been set up by you - Nick ( aka Webcraft etc Oban or thereby ). If that is correct why are the terms and conditions subject to English law and the jurisdiction of the English court system ?

Post by **Nick** » Tue Nov 08, 2005 12:30 am

That is the default blurb that comes with the script . . .

It has now been rectified, thanks for pointing it out . . .
