What is this "olx" tab about? It takes me off Tribe (opening a new window) to some free classifieds site. Is this an ad?

Wed, April 16, 2008 - 4:13 PMCall me lame, but I don't know how to get a screenshot on this laptop. The "olx" tab is right after the "requests" tab - at the very end. Am I the only one who sees it?

Wed, April 16, 2008 - 4:15 PMI should say, when you go to a tribe's main page and look where the tabs are for topics, photos, listings, requests, etc., the "olx" tab is at the end. Sorry, that wasn't clear in my previous posts. -

Wed, April 16, 2008 - 4:53 PMOh! Now I see it. I completely overlooked it because I never look at those tabs.
My guess is that it's some sort of paid referral program whereby Tribe gets some money every time someone signs up for olx. Here's some information about the company:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLX
They look pretty dodgy to me.

you are a dork, with too much time on your hands, with a paranoid and rude complex. you can't help it, you find it impossible to be civil or nice to a single person you encounter, both people, and the TOU person, find you a lauph and redundant. The silly thing is, you will have some smartass comment, not recognizing, or caring, or respecting, anyone else. Why? cause you are all about YOU, and nothing, or no one else.
go crawl back under the rock you came from under, you have nothing to say that is helpful or positive, to any living entity. Or dead, for that matter. hang yourself, while crowing the little man cockcrow. disingenuous shit. -

Fri, April 18, 2008 - 9:42 AMThanks for the stick-up, Travis. But I don't mind V's humor. I guess we all annoy someone sometimes, in our own special ways. ;} Sometimes our complaints/concerns/observations posts on this Bug tribe can get a little miniscule. Olx was just something I noticed recently, thought it was a little out of place and wondered if anyone else was seeing it. FIB slyware? I would not be surprised. -

Tue, April 22, 2008 - 10:42 AMI posted ONE as in 1 thread Travis because I actually think you are a passive aggressive Scorpio little man with an inferiority complex.
You are fond of misinterpreting statements and distorting facts Travis, especially when you are trying to maintain your 2-faced nature.
Too bad you don't moderate this tribe...then you could delete my responses like the wuss that you are.

OLX means free local classifieds on a global level. OLX allows you to meet others, express yourself, trade products, find jobs, apartments, and much more!
We built OLX to improve on traditional classified sites, which are functional but missing key features to really deliver a proper public service to communities everywhere.
On OLX you can:
Easily design rich HTML listings
Control your selling, buying, and community activity in My OLX
Send or accept PayPal payments
Be assured of a spam-free experience
Promote your listings on other websites, like MySpace, Xanga, and Blogspot
Discuss listings with other interested users
Enjoy a website that has world-class speed
Search for items near you, wherever you live
Access our site from your mobile phone
View our site in your local language
OLX has a presence on six continents. The company was founded in March 2006 and is privately held.
I think this is tribes way of doing away with the non functioning listings and events... and the reason tribe was down last night.. :) -

Re: olx - feedback
Mon, April 21, 2008 - 7:40 PMThe unfortunate thing about olx that I've seen so far is that it is TERRIBLE at finding what you actually want.
I just tried to search for apartment for rent listings in Philadelphia. What I got was a bunch of listings for houses and condos for sale. This is definitely not what I want when I am searching for something specific. I'll take Craigslist over this any day.
Try again, guys.

It's like having your Model-T Ford in any color you want, provided that it's black. -

Tue, April 22, 2008 - 3:20 PMOn the positive side the personal ads are hil-a-rious.
Just looking out of boredom you understand … honest. Stop looking at me like that.
