There really needs to be a place where the professionals can work together. Recently I received a couple of emails from former members of the Online Merchant Network. These folks are real online business owners and used to participate in the Online Merchant Network. They told me they no longer plan to participate in the new Community because of the glass half empty attitude of this new Community. It's not good for any of us to loose that type of hands-on expertise and experience. Regards, skier What happened to the Online Merchant Network? Are you aware that this site, and all of it's content is GONE??? http://www.onlinemerchantnetwork.com/ I've been a paypal member for 11 years, and as a merchant, I used the above site almost every day, and now the site is gone! There was no notice that this site was going to be shut down, and there was invaluable content on this site. I'm shocked and concerned why this site has vanished. Paypal also did a feature on our company on this site. There were pictures, and and quoted interview from me. We were one of the "featured merchants" of the month, in a section called, the Merchant Connection. We had this link on our website and on many forums/message boards. Our customers loved reading this link about us, since it showed paypal recognized us, and kept many potential customers at ease. This website is no gone and the write-up is now gone. It used to be located at: http://www.onlinemerchantnetwork.com/blog/article%3fblog.id=MerchantConnection%26message.id=115 I need to find a way to get the article content about our company back. I'd like to at least save it and make a copy to have on hand. Amanda, I actually think it was you that nominated us as a merchant to feature on the Online Merchant Network in the "Merchant Connection". I need to somehow get that content back.
