My friend runs this site.
my friends site

Here are his rules
------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE READ **Your 1st Post SHOULD NOT be an ad**
Classified Rules

1. Any item for sale must include a price
2. Any person selling parts, must include 1 of the following:
Phone number
Email address

3. Norcal1320.com is NOT responsible for any transactions taking place between members, and is NOT responsible for damaged parts exchanged between members.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think he makes you wait until you have like 50 post I think.

Anyways, I agree with you. I don't care for leachers.
I don't care if someone is cleaning out there garage but the
guy who runs a small time business on side bothers me.

Of course, there are also those people who post a great deal w/o saying anything useful. Every community has those, too.

These people are just here to sell the parts that X-19 buyers don't want. They just come here for a better price.

On the other hand, they don't seem determined to learn what TTIWWP means, and they are clogging up the parts pipeline with old round relays, and driving the prices down.

The people who have something to say, say it. How are you going to force people to have something to say? A community like this takes all kinds. Anyone who visits the site, even if it's just to sell parts, is an asset in my mind.

For Me

Came here to sell my car on the classifieds. Found so much info here, I kept it.
Any type of paid access to the classifieds, is not a good thing for the club.
It just keeps people away. IMHO.

Thanx for asking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Later

What are your thoughts on people who just use the classifieds and dont contribute to the community?

these are just my thoughts.

I mean, its a free service, and these people are benefiting from it... why cant they at least give back to the community? you know, hang out here, peruse the board, contribute tech data where needed, or show up to events and things?

seems pretty selfish to me.

just my thoughts.

am i off base?

mainly the people who just endlessly "pimp their stuff". you know?


I guess I'm not sure what you mean by "contribute to the community"..

Do you mean write a very nice how-to? Or post thousands of one liners and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) ?

I do neither. I will never know as much as many here, and therefore, could not add to anything that has not already been done. Just my 2 cents.

Whats wrong with someone only using the classifieds? That should tell you something about your site. Why did they NOT choose to go somewhere else? Then again, why DONT they post in the 'garage' or 'sandbox' ?

This site is different things to different people. I say don't sweat it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
