Prosper just offered this statement in response to all the negative comments on Facebook:
"We greatly apologize for the delay in answering posts. Rest assured that we are not in danger of going out of business, dying, or closing down. Quite the contrary — we’re confident that the recent changes we’ve made to our platform will greatly improve the lender experience on Prosper.com. At the risk of being repetitive, here’s why the number of listings has temporarily dropped off: 1) Listings are now pulled from the site as soon as they reach 100% funding, 2) We no longer list HR listings, 3) We now set interest rates that are commensurate with the level of risk and therefore, listings that previously were underpriced—and would not have been funded anyway—are no longer on the platform, and 4) The time of year. We believe, come January 3, you should see numbers rise dramatically."
