i do understand, and i didnt mean to say you're a post whore lol, i was just stating what was said in the annoucement about it, which was made early june and was posted in the classifieds section and in the lounge as well.
My issue with the post requirements goes back all the way to LS1.com in 2001 and TGO back in 1998. I just have seen too many people sign up, use the boards occasionally and then when they wanna buy or sell something, they figure theyll never see the person again so who cares, expecially if the item is shipped. I like the fact that this is more of a local board so everyone can really get to know each other. I have sold parts to many member on this board, admins and new users alike, and through ebay all over. I like the fact that other members can see im an active part of this club/board and feel more secure about any transaction, hence why im pushing for Justin to set up "Trader ratings" on this site. The last straw that made me take more of a stand about it all was a user here about a month ago, he listed a car for sale, i went, looked at it, made a deal with him to get it the next day, then he calls me the same night, 10 min after i just talked to him, and said he was selling it to someone else for the same price. people like that are deadbeats and if he ever shows his face on this board again i will flame him every chance i get. lol.
