@ Sk/Wazua Team,

Mume toka mbali, carry on with the good work.

few of those sites, IF ANY, have the potential of wazua.co.ke

@Kamaa noted and adjusted accordingly.

Yes indeed StocksKenya does belong to the members - it's foolhardy to think otherwise. Our actions may have been clumsy but intentions good.

In those 10 months though, you've given us feedback for so long and certain members left in frustration. We were focussed on trying to redeem ourselves - maybe we tried too hard.

Nobody's perfect.

@ Wazua,

Come off it. Say no more.

People pay to learn/get information they get here for free.

@stockskenya...aka waza..still not convinced.
when barclays was doing poorly because it was perceived to be elitist,they didnt change their name,they just made adjustments and were able to get back on track.
what you should have done is to make the site less elitist in whatever way.This is a serious site for serious people so dont compare with nation(no offence for free newspaper readers).
For any upcoming person financially, i have always directed them to read and visit stockskenya(am sure other wazans have done the same.
you shouldnt have felt compelled to compete with jokers on other sites,its the values here that are worth preserving.
A lot of people have benefitted here than in those pata uza and again,some live in karen,others kilimani,others kahawa sukari...etc.thats life...i cant move house because my friends think this or that about where i stay and who i associate with.
i rest my case in green.

@callaspade thank you for your feedback
Your sentiments are correct, in fact we believed as much for long. However, if nation.co.ke or even patauza.co.ke attract x10 / x2 our number of contributors hence revenue, for how long will it be feasible to subsidize SK?

Then there's the other issue, our members continually complained about the quality of posts deteriorating and departure of respected analysts. If nothing was done soon the upcoming investors would hardly pay attention to us.

Now they only need go to investor.wazua.co.ke and they venture to other sections at their discretion

@sk/wazua i feel you. I underwent the same problems awhile back in my business...i have learnt that recruiting a new client is waaay harder than maintaining the current one BUT when an old one quits you loose even more. Change is good bu keeping the green color for a start will definately cool many nerves

Put the livescroller on everypage too

SK

i sympathize with you guys for..

1. subsidizing while loosing it out..
2. some of your old outspoken members (read jammo and others) quitting coz of quality of the posts (read site)..
3. working tirelessly to bring about +ve change but failing to sensitize or popularize your initiatives to the current membership only to face rejection after spending alot in terms of time & money...
4. having an uphill task explaining change and convincing members not to quit over small issues such as colour green and some funny names like newbies

okay all in all we all got lessons to learn and defend what we so treasure... A FORUM!
When you hear what I say, you will not understand. When you see what I do, you will not comprehend

@ Admin - I thought of posting "If it walks like a duck..." in response to your subject but then given that you have taken time to respond to members' concerns, I have thought twice.

Give us time to transition but please get rid of the pink and bring back the green!
