If you only could see the amount of calls/texts that I get from people who have been members here for 2-5 years and have 0 posts. I have made some great contacts from those individuals. Don't get me wrong, the established members are great too, but there are many lurkers out there.

 

Compared to what other site?

 

our parts section is not as busy as in the last 18 months. Everything eventually slows down. Its still pretty active. Just maybe not as active for parts certain people may be looking for

 

wait till the next presidential election cycle. The whole BST will get active again

 

Understatement of the year buddy

 

Lots of stuff here for me, especially since it is just a general discussion gun group for the Carolinas. What to find a gun with 50 miles from you? Better chance finding it here than even on a huge site like ARFCOM

 

I'd just like to see those lurkers, and regular posters, putting up stuff on here they aren't using. I really think it would grow the board/membership a bunch. Assuming that is a goal of CSC, of course. It would be nice to come here to look for, and find, items for a build instead of xxxx.com board.

 

Ok ok ok. You talked me into it. I will post another MuShu House Cleaning Thread tomorrow. You are welcome.

 

Compared to Cast Boolits
Everybody is real cheap on this site....including ME

 

I have a bunch of unused stuff I could get rid of, but I don't post it here because most of the people on here seem to be located on the other side of the state, and I am not that motivated to move it that I am willing to ship. Plus, everyone wants to pay with PayPal and I am not interested in patronizing that anti-gun organization so I closed that and my eBay account years ago.

Funny story. I closed my account after the Virginia Tech shooting. That was when eBay implemented or started enforcing some of their more stupid policies. A few days ago, I got an e-mail from eBay threatening that if I did not log on to my account in the next 15 days, they were going to delete it. Well duhhh.

 

You said:

And in the last post you said:

There are times that I am forced to use PayPal because that is the only payment system certain businesses utilize, but that doesn't make me a hypocrite.

So which is it? Do you use it or not? Sounds pretty hypocritical to me.

 

I'm on the same side of the state as you!!

 

Maybe we're all happy with what we got!

 

We would need to break the forums up into specific sections to get the results you describe.

This forum runs it's classifieds section off of a handful of generalized forums, basically a collection of catch-alls.

Off the top of my head we would need about 8 new forums in the classifieds to split things up to get it sharpened up.

 

"pay with PayPal and I am not interested in patronizing that anti-gun organization" that is a big reason for sure... it is basically a necessary evil to do internet forum sales.

 

No it isn't. I have bought and sold plenty of things on boards over the years. Money orders and even personal checks, depending on feedback, have worked just fine both ways. Paypal is only necessary if you are some kind gimmee gimmee gimee, lazy, I have to have it right now, self entitled crybaby that can't place a moral principle above your basic desires.

Paypal does provide some amount of consumer protection for personal internet sales, those other forms of payments do not.

 

PayPal does not provide you crap when you are using it against their policies. A lot of people want to pay with the gift option so they can circumvent the fees, and if they find out you are using the account for firearms related stuff, they will lock your account.

 

I wonder why this hasn't been ,moved to the arguing free for all section instead of staying in the classifieds

 

Yeah. I couldn't figure out where to put it...

I was thinking the forum suggestions section but that doesn't seem right so let's try off topic I guess. Lol

 

I used paypal to pay for my 2nd Amendment foundation membership. They're not anti gun, they're anti lawsuit in a world where most people are very pro lawsuit.
