    You still need to be a member here to post ads, and need a bare minimum of posts.
    The classifieds at this moment is a very dormant, very low traffic compared to the old BST forum. There were many hoops to jump through, making it impossible for many members to sell things. Under the old rules, it was not allowed for beginning restorers to move restored razors in the classifieds. And you needed x posts over y months.

    We may experience growing pains, that is true. But the alternative was simply keep the classifieds from growing and becoming fun again. That's kinda like smothering a baby with a pillow to avoid the 'terrible twos'. Issues may crop up, and we will have to deal with them. And if things really derail, we can change our opinion again. This is not politics after all

    The alternative to opening our classifieds is to simply continue pushing all those people to ebay and tell newbies to fend for themselves so that we don't have to deal with the issues that come from having a more active classifieds. Because that is the situation we are currently having.

    I agree with Bruno in much of this. Our classifieds used to have greater traffic and its of deals. As for the old rules of number of posts, all you had to do was regularly submit SOTD pictures and you were golden. There have been members here in the past and that is all they did SOTD, so it was to the letter of the rules but not the spirit. I think the old rules had intended to encourage people to contribute and be active on the forum. Apparently it was too much to ask. I think change is good and if the changes turn out to be too much, that can be adjusted too. I have been active on the forum and both as a buyer and a seller on the classifieds.

    My opinion, but if that's too much to ask are those guys going to be what has become a pretty good place, look what happens every time one of the crap disturber so shows up,, I,m ready to give it a chance, but now how can we tell a new guy to go to the classifieds like we have been doing? We won't even know them if they don't participate. Just my concern. Tc
