Hey Admin! Please Lend Me Your Ears. (Warning, LOOOONG Rant)

.... this post was snipped from another Ideas thread aboyt what is to become of Vintage and Supplies and I thought it might actually be important enough to warrant it's re-issue here before it got buried.

Hey Etsy Admins!!!

You know what??? It's a real crying shame that you people who really Ought to give a damn don't even go so far as to humor us with a simple answer to our very simple question. Where does Vintage and Supplies fit into Etsy's "Big Picture?"
What we're asking for is NOT the reinvention of the wheel. Even a vague answer like, "we'll try to get around to making our choice and get back to you guys in ...say 6 months or a year".... or WHENEVER.

"We're working on it" is a B.S. NON-Answer. You guys have "been working on it" for the entire two years I've been here and there's STILL NO Answer to the basic questions about what is to become of us.
This is not a selfish question to ask of you nor difficult question to answer back to us, really.

Any answer is better than Nothing, even if it's something I don't especially want to hear. Why is this so hard for you people? I don't get it.

People put up threads like this ALL the time that go on for days and days without end and they are always ended with a lock when some of us get frustrated to tears and a bit too lippy... and still no response except for to chastise us yet again for forgetting that "each poster here is a person with real feelings."

Jesus wept.
I have "REAL feelings" and so do all the Vintage and Supply sellers here as well, and we're feeling like the back of the bus kinda stinks seeing as though we paid the same fare as the First Class passengers.
I find this entire dog and pony show both infuriating and humiliating.
I've been a vintage seller here since mid January of this year and another year before that when I first opened HRMB.

I've been hearing about "Etsy's Growing Pains" All this whole time and NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN THE 2 YEARS I'VE BEEN HERE.
...except now we have five gazillion Treasuries available AND Treasury West!!! AND The ALL NEW Exciting reinvented Treasury has cool Rainbow Mandellas! We also have Pounce,Colors, The Stourque, The Gift Guides, The Geolocator (that seldom works and just makes me ugly), Alchemy (which should have been left non-functional as far as I'm concerned)

...and yet as of this May, we now have NO ROOM in the Database for a Vintage and Supplies search.... that's so funny too because.....somehow we still have tons of room available to keep a backlog of stupid useless Promo and Bugs threads that go back to the year ONE.

Help me with this.... WHY?
I don't care about the fancy whizz-bang toys. I just want a search that WORKS and an honorable mention that YOU GUYS actually embrace the simple fact that V & S stuff is ACTUALLY Sold here.... ON THE HOME PAGE So we don't all continue to look like TOTAL IDIOTS! (because we DO.)

There's a new outraged person posting a new thread every single day to the tune of "What are USED SHOES DOING ON ETSY??? I thought this was a handmade site!!!!"

Why choose to alienate, frustrate, jerk around and infuriate the fine folks trying to make a living here?

Ironicly enough, we are the very same good folks that make PAYDAYS happen in those happy Etsy Offices with the "Swimmy Fish" on the walls for you guys.

In my crazy little Universe, one hand washes the other. Funny how that principal seems works everywhere else but here.

It just bums me out.
