During the Convention, the Watchdog site was discussed extensively and there was overall consensus that it has been a big success to member users in identifying bad players. Charlie Myers, President of Getloaded.com pointed out that the more reports in the database, the more valuable the site will become as an information source. He also encouraged members both to sign up for Master accounts on Watchdog and to file reports on a regular basis.
Along with the 80 new account holders, 130 reports have been filed since Watchdog was launched in September 2005. TIA has made numerous improvements to date, and will continue to do so as the site grows. Bob Voltmann, TIA President and CEO, said,'A large and growing data base will increase TIA's opportunities to improve the site as we learn from more and more member users what works best.' Members in attendance at the Convention were asked to send their Watchdog suggestions to TIA.
