Am I the only one who misses the old B/S/T forum?

[Kyle76]

I just can't get into these new classifieds (though I have made a purchase or two there). I think the old forum format was much better. For one thing, it allowed the experienced members to point out great deals to the newbies. I know there were occasional problems with these types of comments, but I think we pretty much policed ourselves in that regard. If anyone cares, I say bring back the old B/S/T.

The classifieds as far as I can tell allow for making a comment. I've done so in a few ads.

It's taken some getting used to, but at this point I like the new system.

The new system is cleaner, neater, and very accessible!!!!!!

The old BST was cluttered, full of old listings, and bulky in the forum and new post sections...

Soooooooooo Why did I like the old system better
I guess it had a more human element that is the only reason I can think of at the momment.......

i used to go into the B/S/T forum quite a bit. at least multiple times daily. i have not looked at the classifieds in going on 2 weeks. just don't care for it much.

I agree with Jim and Vgod. I used to browse through the BST forum as I did all the others - often using the "new post" button. Now, I rarely remember to look in the classifieds. I liked it the old way. Hmmm, that sounds familiar

The new system took some getting used to. My only complaint is the old listings are deleted too soon, I used to be able to go back and look at sold items a week or two later to get an idea of what the market is doing on specific items.

Not meaning to complain really, just expressing my thoughts here.

+1 on this one. I really don't care for the classified section. The b/s/t thread was much more fun to look at, everything lumped together....soaps, razors,strops,hones, cr02 etc.

Is it my imagination or are the numbers of razors that are up for sale increasing?
I know I have seen some razors that have been bought off E bay and put onto this sight unaltered but at inflated prices.

I've noticed this too, not so much the ebay buys showing up, but the prices going up. Most are well beyond my budget anymore, not so many priced in the "newbie" budget range.

+1 to what sicboater and BeBerlin said about RSS feeds.
They are just brilliant for keeping track of new listings without even having to pay attention.

You don't even have to install any software to be able to use RSS, many e-mail programs has some support for RSS, or you can do what I do and use Google Reader (http://www.google.com/reader) to keep track of as many RSS feeds as you would like.

Why not try it out? Add the classifieds RSS, add a few of your favorite newspapers RSS feeds (almost every newspaper, magazine and sportssite on the web has a RSS feed, look for a orange symbole thats either says RSS or XML). Google Reader is free to use, all you need is a free Google account, and you can use Google Reader from any computer in the world, as long as it is connected to the internett, without installing a thing.
