So you have $3.6B in your liquid assets right now? What did you say your account name was? ;) – seanbonner, on September 01, 2009 05:07

Thanks for taking care of whatever the problem was, and thanks for taking the site offline now while you fix things. I think a of the chaos is from changes happening while it was live and people not having any idea what was going on. Getting things back in working order offline and then bringing it back up should move along much more smoothly

I got a bounced message on my e-mail to Appeals, but I'm shy a few hundred points that I paid for now. I've never merged anything and not psyched on this at all.

I lost a ton of points, ones that I paid for. Sending an email. – seanbonner, on September 01, 2009 01:50

A comment on the question "Gains borked in attacking targets?" in Spymaster:

I agree with Shawn I. or at least they should let us know what is going on if they are in fact freezing things. As Fixer mentioned you can still suffer health losses in fights so if that is the only thing that is still functioning it might be better to notify people that everyone this on hold until they fix it rather than let us just keep trying to fight with no success. – seanbonner, on August 31, 2009 23:37

I'm having the exact same issue, winning assassinations all day long but gaining $0 and 0 experience. Not fun.

Joining several cells?

I joined a cell with friends, but I'm now getting invites to join other cells as well. Is cell membership exclusive or can you join several at the same time?

date bug

Tried to request something but the calendar option wasn't working, wouldn't let me select anything or type anything in, then wouldn't let me request without filling in that field. Mac/FireFox - both latest.

no points for new venues?

Users should get points for checking into a non-existing venue if they go back and add it as a venue later - as it stands there's no motivation to add venues because you get no points, and encourages cheating by checking into an existing venue down the street instead

Ignore is not permanent

If I ignore someone, they shouldn't be able to just keep re-adding me.

Can't currently fix incorrect addresses.

The option to correct a bad address would be fantastic.

problem linking new venue to existing things

Added a thing and venue didn't exist, so I went back and added it but it won't let me edit the thing to connect it to the new venue now, and doesn't recognize the name is the same.

Ben! Yep, in SF for the next few days, staying in the Mission so we should get together for sure. Drop me a line or something!

Anyway, I think we pretty much agree on all of the airline stuff, and I fully support them making a profit for filling our needs and all that. Like I said, wasn't really complaining as much as noticing a change. That said, no matter what it stings to see something that was free get a price tag added to it and in generally I'd prefer to see companies either add new options and perks that are worth paying for, or be more clear upfront that not all things that are being offered free will stay that way.

seanbonner replied on September 07, 2008 18:37 to the question "Headphones on Virgin America no longer free! They want $2 now" in Virgin America:

OK so a few things on this - First of all Virgin America never gave out headphones to everyone, they just had them in a little basket and if you needed them you could take them with you. This wasn't the old style where there was a pair of headphones sitting in every seat and they asked you to leave them. These were sealed in plastic bags and they were complementary if you needed them so I'm not sure that the waste/reuse issues are valid here.

Obviously charging for something that was previously free cuts down on expense thou ;). But that's kind of point -personally I have my own headphones that I bring with me and I wasn't really complaining about this as much as just pointing it out as I noticed it. The free headphones were never billed as "free for a limited time" they were just "free" and so that brings us to the idea that it's a bad customer experience to start charging for something that was previously free. I makes you wonder what else that they are offering for free will soon have a price tag on it?

Sure the RED entertainment system is great, but should we expect it to cost a few bucks to turn on sometime in the future? How about the free soft drinks and water, are those nearing the end too? Again, not complaining, just pointing out that making a big deal about the free stuff you have then quietly changing it to not so free brings up other issues. I love Virgin and even with $2 headphones it's a much better flying experience than any other airline for short trips like LA/SF/SD/Vegas etc but can we expect it to stay that way or will it be just like the others soon too?
