just curious, its been a couple of months since Automated Outlet has been the distributer of the DIY CQC licenses... how is it working out? can you buy your own island somewhere yet? has the increased visibility helped drive any sales? well at least I am assuming AO has more traffic on their website then CQC does?

has there been any sales since the move?

anyway, I hope you don't forget about us little people when you do get your own private island...

It's picked up a bit so far. We weren't expecting a fast radical increase or anything. We assumed that it will take a while to really come up to full potential. It's as hard a sell for them to make as it was for us. It's one of those 'big decision' type purchases, that will drive a lot of other decisions. So it takes a while for the potential customer to get over the threshold, and the 30 day trial further extends that period. Even when the money isn't an issue (and it often is at that price), the various other worries and concerns come into play when purchasing such a fundamental piece of the puzzle.

I'm sorry, who are you? If you could just leave a message with my girl, I'm sure that she could work you in in a couple months or so, once I get back from my trip to Barbados with my mistress.

yea, come to think of it, it only took me a couple of years from when I first looked at CQC to now... how long ago did you make that first post to SMR forums?... how many price increases were their in that time?

That would have been many years ago. I've popped into the SMR forums occasionally since then, but I got spanked a few times for posting there long ago, and stopped doing it.

Well, I bet once you stop equating CQC with "natural enhancement", you'd probably be better received into most forums.
