Re: NEW AND EXISTING MEMBERS, READ THIS BEFORE ASKING ABOUT THE CLASSIFIEDS. 11-10-1
And btw, I think this whole "trial thing" is a utter failure. Shit topics, shit posts by shit posters to get 15 posts.
I never had an issue spending the money for patron, nor an issue paying for a sponsor spot to sell things. And BTW I never had to do any of those things, I could have sold my stuff on here for free. Without coughing up a few bucks.
Id like to also add, I've always "asked" a mod before hand what I could and could not do. Nunya has always helped with any question I've had, and im sure he can vouch for me.
Its great having new members sign up and contribute to this site, and I see the vision and the idea. But just seems it creates more issues (its nice seeing threads from 1-4 years ago getting bumped), I think paying 5 bucks a month really weeds out the idiots, scammers and flakes. Spend 5 dollars and sell things and make unlimited money seems like a no brainer to me.

I am really getting sick of people bitching about these changes and saying "they wont work" or "they are stupid". What the fuck did you do to try to get the site back to "how it once was" or bring more members in?
ANd before anyone sayd "I'm not a mod I dont have that kind of pull/ability" all it took was one PM from me to the board owners to get the ball rolling on shit after I made a thread. I bleed the same blood you idiots do.
If you dont like it , up in the top right hand corner of your browser there is a button that says "log out". It will permanantley filter all the bullshit you will see on this site and you wont have to view any of it!
For every person that hits the back button, theres 3 more to take his place thanks to serch engines.

DP, I have a question. I've noticed on a few threads I've posted in, all the replies get deleted. A friend was selling a car and some user and then I posted a response. The next day they were both gone, and my friend said he didn't know why. I also posted in another thread in the classifieds last night, the guy just bumped the thread and it popped up in my subscribed threads but my reply isn't there.

What do you think I am attempting to do here? There has been more activity on this site in the last week than there has been in a month. You think other forums don't have idiots? Wrong, they all do. This place isnt going to be "dumbass-free" Not before, not now, not ever.

I think it's kind of working. Has it produced contributing members yet? We won't really know until later. It's still too early to tell that yet. The rules have been in place for what, a week? 8 days? Can we give it more time before declaring it a failure? There's been some bullshit, but all within the realm of what was expected when the rules were implemented. We all knew that there would be people who would try and circumvent the rules to get back to the FS section. At some point people who have legitimate content to add to the community will show up, I really believe that, we just all need to calm the fuck down with the flaming (and I include myself in that) so that those people will actually want to stay. I think this is a small step in the right direction and to be perfectly honest even shit content is better than no content. Seriously, there would be entire days when there were no new posts in any of the threads I was subbed to and that's really sad to see from a place that used to be so active.

Geez.. the classifieds disappeared on me as well. I don't post much, I believe I actually only have 5 total. This may make it 6. I do use this forum as a resource and have been looking for a daily driver for a while. I understand the new requirements. I hope this keeps the trolls out!
