Buy, sell, trade.....what is the problem......a solution in search of a problem.

Stickies may be old but many contain data that is still relevant today. I use the cooking forum a lot and have a couple stickies I asked for that come in handy. One is the forum cookbook recipe sticky. When it hits enough recipes I am going to compile it in a PDF format and make it available free to members. LOT of excellent recipes have been posted!

Or they may not. But for sure no one will ever throw away the ones that do not. 😂
Like the please don’t forget Alaska and Hawaii thread. That should have been deleted as discussion, not enshrined forever at the top of the page.

That said, I know Moding is a thankless job and volunteer work at that. I appreciate the board and all that work to keep it running.

I'm in the camp of liking the way it is. My only grievance is my own exuberance when I see an ad with something I'm interested in and 0 replies. My heart starts pounding as I envision getting the first "I'll take it" fired off. Only to realize it's a WTB ad just before hitting send. Occasionally I realize too late.

I usually have a stockpile of some sort that I'm just stalling on posting a WTS ad on anyways. The few extra seconds of my life won't be missed, but I enjoy helping somebody out when I can. I've also acquired some things on here very quickly with WTB ads. I'm sure there wouldn't have been nearly the traffic in a sub-forum.

Why was my post deleted and not the original posters comment? This is exactly why I don't post here much anymore. You have long time members with high post counts that can post any snarky comments they want and their posts remain but if you call someone out on it your posts gets deleted.

Stop silencing me.

OH MY ...ME TOO !
My finger gets all cramped up and exhausted, scrolling through all the threads I don't want to see.
Can the Mods just delete all the posts/threads I don't want to see?

This post is uncalled for and why it remains and my post responding to it gets deleted is ridiculous. All I was doing is trying to generate some discussion on a subject and a former mod posts a snarky demeaning post and it remains in this thread and it remains.

I know I can't be the only one to feel this way about this. This place is a valuable resource that I feel could be better utilized by adding a couple sub forums for the WTB and WTT ads.

It use to be that way but it was more efficient to combine it all in one section.
It was much easier to moderate and maintain. Less sections means less work for the underpaid staff.
It was also determined that members never looked in the WTB section as they would post up WTS listings for stuff that was recently listed in the WTB section.

And concerning your post that was deleted, upon review, the deleted post deserves a infraction as name calling is against the rules.
It got deleted because of that reason.
I am not sure what the status is concerning that post as I haven’t had time to look in the staff section as it’s 2am and I just had to pee.
I am going back to bed.

Thank you for that constructive insight. I'm not talking about another forum (which I already have) I'm talking about this place.

Obviously mine is the minority opinion. Carry on, I'll go back to wallflower status. Mods, you can close this thread.

Closed
