No, he's just watching. Last activity was 12 hours ago, last post was 1 day ago.

I saw that but we all know what happens when they show up with attitude. They end getting a cheeseburger smackdown.

I used to teach that to the Scouts.
But no one ever had an analog.
Now, no one has a watch.

Just bought my 1st one in years. 25th anniversary model Luminox. $135 at the bargain cave. Finally got down to where I could afford it.

50 posts could be a pain in the butt enough that you'd pay for the instant gratification.

There's quite a few people on here that would like to see it at 100 posts & 6 months. It hasn't been that bad recently, but there are several times a year when the runners come out of the woodwork and flood us with nothing but garbage so they can try and fleece the membership with overpriced .22's or things they spent too much on by panic buying. There are people that hit the classifieds as soon as they hit their 50 posts and haven't left there for YEARS. They do nothing and contribute nothing back to the forum, yet they have no problem using the resources of the site for free.

If you can convince them to pay I'd say 100 posts would be a fine idea

FIFY.

No more runners or reason to waste anyone's time policing/arguing/discussing such.

Icing on the cake is that our once friendly trustworthy safe place to swap might eventually get back to that place. As opposed to names no one recognizes, bumping adds to the top daily for months on end, hoping for a sucker that they often eventually find.

Five years and five thousands posts seems reasonable to keep most of the riff raff out.

i said most.

This has been discussed how many times? If the owner wanted to change the rules he would. Isn't griping about why it's only a 50 post count a different branch on the same tree of a noob griping about having to post 50? Yeah I know it's fun to tweak the nose of the noob ...

Ok..... I'm just trying to follow along here. Did you just complain about people complaining?

How many rows deep are we in the complaining field?

I try to limit my classifieds requirement suggestion to once a year.
Admin eventually seen the light on the picture requirement and gave in. One could argue that was a serious improvement in the classifieds after years and years of "no pics."

New owner this year, never know?

Fellas,
The lions share of the work put on the staff is generated from 2 areas.
Guess which 2.
I am not sure what the new ownership will do but for now it looks like business as usual.
It made me sad when the carpet baggers swarmed in here after Sandy Hook. That was when I noticed the big change in the classy's and the forum in general.
Hard to keep things the same in an ever changing world.
I still see the deals come through. You just have to be right there when they do.

Not been any discussion on changing much of anything at this time.
