Its not that people don't use it but I have seen multiple people say they cannot sign up to create accounts, and it seems to be a major barrier to using it.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
likely a site that had huge popularity but now is not well enough known for new people, and not keeping updated and adding new features. So only useful in the small niche world of sellers where everyone else just uses ebay.
Well, how many of us donate? I'm sure if we all gave a dollar or 2 every so often, the owner would have an incentive to stay on top of things.
I'm sure a group of us can get together and at least offer some backup to the site admins. It's a staple resource to the community. If we want it to be better, let's get together and make it better.
I had retaliation feedback left to me. I sent countless emails and did not hear back anything. I have heard a lot of other people got problem creating an account as well. It looks like kind of abandoned. There were a guy on anandtech forum from heatware team that was trying to heal people, but I think he also went quite.
It's happened to me too, two people failed to scam by wanting to return their broken product, as I mentioned I already have every serial number written down and picture taken of. I know exactly what parts were in each laptop, but they got upset they failed so they left negative.
I tried e-mailing and such to no avail. I just gave up on heatware and only use it as a courtesy for others, but I personally don't care if the buyer/seller doesn't have heat with who I am dealing with.
Send money to someone who doesn't maintain their site anymore? I don't think so. That money should go towards an alternate service if anything.
So then, let's put our minds together and create our own. There should be a way to interface to Heatware data. Obviously with their cooperation
I really think if something is to come of this it wont have any support or backing from Heatware at all. If they were willing to cooperate then they'd do something about what they currently have going on and we wouldn't need to even discuss an alternate service.

I'd be quite curious if anyone has gone up to the owner(s) of Heatware and asked if the site and its IP was up for grabs.
The moderated issue resolution aspect of this service is a serious can of worms though. That's quite frankly something that can/could/would turn full-time real fast, and if the make-up of the people involved in this effort is strictly volunteer and ultimately "only as much free time as i can spare"...that aspect of the effort/service would eventually flame out too (and maybe even present a similiar situation to how it is now with Heatware). I personally have 0 time for those kinds of activities, like most of the people would be involved.
I don't know about this one.
Would it behoove anyone to pay someone to moderate? If the time would make it a full-time job, why not compensate them for doing so?

I just had a response from them for an email I sent them 2 years ago
Does DBWillis still have that bogus negative? Lol.
