This is all well and good, however, an email autoresponder is one of the most simple things a web designer may do...seems the designer(s) have simply have not cut it and have passed their shortcomings to us by way of the CEO.

Give me a break ... web designers also know through experience that complications always occur whether it be in format or some miniscule thing. Such small bugs can be solved in a matter of a week. This site was destined to have bugs because MOST DO when upgrading. Look at Allstocks for example (no offense Bob), the site has gone down but matters are fixed immediately. I'm not selling for less than multiple xxx%

I agree, they had it fully staffed incase anything went wrong, you never know with technology.
And Gmoney - its alright that was his first post here, we all know what that means!

I went to their site and you can not go nowhere except the first page. Tried to click on different catagories but it stayed on same page. Don't think they should have released web site yet.

Thanks Mesh ... I posted about how itw as funny that noone criticized GZFX during its stability but when a run comes and potential is evident, criticism comes from the depths. I just needed to post that one for the newbies who are reading this thread and questioning GZFX. It's a solid investment (probably my most confident JMHO though). I knew you didn't need that little pep talk though eh Mesh? LOL Good luck to ya ... and to the rest of the traders here at allstocks
P.S. -- I like the threads you start for the EOD runs ... keep it going and I'll post my humble opinion.

Thanks, guys, we've been operating two e-commerce websites for eight years, editing, redesigning, and whatever...we own a fair amount of this stock, and yes, this is our first post. Know what I mean, Vern??

wtf!!! announce a new site and the $hit doesn't even work. And the site iznt even friendly, they should atleast have some browse icons on the hm page, show me whats on the menu before i have to pay to get it. I'm sorry but the site is not great at all, seems like it was designed by a secretary on some letterhead and not by a web designer with some artistic talent. I own shares in this co. and wish it the best for all of us, but damn i have my doubts with the site as of today.

Its still new, they have a full staff there they were expecting a few things to happen, it will be taken care of in no time. I really don't think they will leave all the bugs on there... Give it time, like Melvin from CMKX says, it takes time, its not going to happen over night, I know we all want to make a quick buck but they have a lot of potential and they will reach it. The site has been launched for less or about an hour. (the new one)

Problems for newly launched sites are common. Although this ones is pretty extensive. I think they were in a time crunch and just released it rather than delaying it more which could have caused a big sell off. I'm sure they will correct all the problems. I hope they wait to release a PR about this till all the problems are fixed.

I don't like it... I don't like it at all.. The IT department really disapointed me.
I am not talking about the full website not available yet.. it should be running perfectly by saturday.. It takes time for big website to be loaded in a different servers..
I don't think they had any usability test.. Oh well I guess i will have to give them more time...
I thought the old site was fantastic, but simply too slow in processing pages and links. It was great in allowing prospective customers and current members to easily preview new releases for both movies and games, and had seperate sites within the home site for each. I liked the graphics and their extensive library. To me, simply speeding up the time it takes to move about the site was all that was needed. I know many disagree, but just telling you how I felt about the old site.
I hope they incorpoate the above with the new site rather than requiring registration to even see selections. They've got a great thing going, far beyond storefront retailers and other e-movie and games sites. Simply speeding up the old site seemed all they needed to do as far as web appeal goes.

I keep getting a DNS failure when trying to open the page. Anybody else have this problem?

If they allow browsing movies and games to prospective customers without requiring them to register first on the new site, that would be awesome. GZFX investor's would truly have the tiger by the tail on this one. It should be a great ride.

Well for the couple minutes I was in there, I was able to bring up the movies with a thumbnail of the cover of the movies and then you clicked on the movie and it gives a synopsis of it. I got through one movie before it crapped out.

I got back by clicking on the GameNFlix logo in the header at the top of the page. That took me to the home page.

Main concern I have is the brightness of the words. Needs to be a litte brighter for those with harder time reading. But great to see it coming around.

I have some concerns about the website as well. I sent an email to the company with my suggestions. I will post the reply when I get it. Here is the email I sent:
As a shareholder of this company, I have some comments/concerns about the newly released website. I visited and believe there are a few things that would improve the “user friendlyness” of the site. 1. I believe the home page should have the browse functions added. I do not believe that many people will subscribe before being able to browse the inventory. 2. I believe that when browsing, a user should be able to click on a letter of the alphabet to more quickly find if a movie is in stock. I found it very frustrating to have to keep clicking the next button to find out if you had a Robin Williams stand up comedy in stock. 3. I believe that a user should be able to click on a title and be able to see the short synopsis of the movie. It appears that you have to be a member to enable that function. I realize as do many other shareholders that there are many bugs that need to be ironed out as it is with most websites. These are just my opinions, but I have a feeling that I am not the only one with these views.
I am excited to see what this company does in the future. I feel that with a little time, we will be in close competition with that “OTHER” online video company!

Thank you for your time.

Good email but for the 1st one, the browse buttons are on the home page. That first screen you come to is not their home page. That is just a temporary page explaining the new site. If you go to the top of that page and click on the gamesnflix logo, it takes you to the actual home page that will come up once they remove the message.
On the 3rd one, I am not sure if clicking on the movie is to bring up the synopsis or not because I see that some movies already have the synopsis on the browse screen and some don't. My complaint there would be that they have way to many that don't have a synopsis listed.
Look forward to seeing what response you get.
