how can i post in the buy and sell forum???

[Doug]

Hi Deb,
I dont really disagree with you on that. Its one thing we considered, is that some do join here on a mention from someone else. And hopefully stay on the board as contributing members

but, that seems to rarely be the case. They do come here, sell their wares and are gone. When we checked stats, it was a large percentage of posts with very few posts, only in the buy/sell. I think it was something like only 50% of total members, had over 50 posts. . Many new posts lately, are someone just here to flog whatever they have for sale.

Now I agree, thats not all bad, as we can always use bargins.

We just decided it was time to draw the line somewhere. Seems like many of the other boards have adopted a similar policy and for the same reasons.

I,m glad to see many members post their support. If it does not seem to be in the best interests of the board, and its members to have a small post limit for the buy/sell, we can always change it again.

Thanks
