I have a support thread in asking that. We'll see if I get a response first or the sessions resume first.

I agree that we need to begin using the services in order to make the economy go. We have money invested in this, so we now need to provide the oil to make the machine run. We need to determine how we can promote the advertising end of this and also get the auctions rolling. With ebay as a huge competitor, it is going to take some doing but I think the fees would be the first to examine. If they are lower than ebay, we may have a great interest out there for savvy actioners to participate.
Maybe there are some of us that would like to divide into teams to learn all of the intricacies of each area and then report back to all with what we have found. A simple exchange of email addresses and phone numbers and we could dissect DX. Just a thought.

Follow the money, and see where it leads to!
IF there is no money, then where do you think it will come from!
Any economy is created with everyones money or there is no economy?
To start your own economy with your own money is bankruptcy's it can not support it's self.
The question is who will put in first you or dxs?

I'm not sure if that is an exclamation or a question.

Again not sure if you are making a statement or asking a question.

We need to see this as a B2C economic system... and we need to do our best to fill both of those roles ("B's" & "C's") ourselves as individuals as best as we can. Doing so will help the economy and thus all of us involved.

See, this is where I think we've got problems. Who in their right mind is going to promote their products with DXS? There's no traffic, so unless DXS is prepared to spend significant money to promote their services, I think we're dead in the water - at least for the time being. It looks like they are still expecting US to promote it for them, which has been the plan right along. I think that was a fine plan up until about 3 months ago. I'd be VERY leery of promoting anything that has to do with DXS until I they regain our trust by the actions I discussed earlier.
I don't know how many people are left out there anymore - not just regular members, but people that have something to sell. Assuming for a moment that there are indeed many people who would do as you suggest, I see it as a temporary situation because there will not be large numbers of people coming in from outside of the member group to buy products. Once the seller sees that sales are less than ideal, they'll bail out and go back to another marketplace like eBay. Somehow, someway, the shopping / auctions will have to be marketed in a big way. If DXS isn't willing / able to do that, I just don't see how they will be successful. Again, 3 months ago, I could see this working pretty well. But they've got a long way to go before most will be interested in promoting something that was out of business for two + months without any signifcant communication with the public. I'm not saying it can't be done, rather I don't think it's going to happen right away.
Hey, I'd love to buy into what you're suggesting. But once bitten, twice shy. They need to step up to the plate and give me a reason to trust them again before I do anything, be it InXchanging funds or listing my goods with them. Once they do that, I'd be willing to do both.

I have to disagree with this statement as it is based on an unlogical primise or incorrect principles.
Economies are created by the production and exchange of goods and services, NOT the creation of [so called] money. blueboy's perception of "economies" and "money," here, is eroneous, as money is merely an object used in comerce for the simplification of the transfer or exchange of those goods and services.

Hi 2007dinar,
The benefit of advertising through DXS is that you only pay for real click on ads (adsXposed). Even if their is not much traffic in the beginning, every click (real visit of sites by interested people) is worth its money. You cannot say that if you have ads with Google and the like.
So, if this is true everyone can buy/sell ads with DXSynergy without any problem.

I've been in DX more than 2 1/2 years and I've ALWAYS known DX was a "beta" system that was going through growing stages. We've already had at least three major upgrades since Jan. 2005.
Knowing it was a "beta" system and that they were working the bugs out has allowed me to be patient with them and my money. Of course, I never put more money into DX than I was comfortable kissing goodbye.
Was this not common knowledge?

That was my understanding, too, Lois!! But there's a WHOLE LOT of people who come in here talking about their "investments" of 10K or 5K....
