Love the concept of the new site...No classifieds?

[dorfus bubblehump]

So with the new forum will there be a classifieds ad section??

[TimC]

Hopefully so Mark.

[Wayne Presley]

I'm sure it will have a classified section eventually.

[Randy Jones]

Absolutely will. It's coming ASAP.

[steno]

Gonna be even better than before!

[oldguy668]

It'll have a classified section and NO irrelevant advertising, just our trusted vendors.

[Steven K]

There is a classified section if you scroll down in the forums section.

You may want to modify the permissions on the for sale forums

* You may not post new threads
* You may not post replies
* You may not post attachments
* You may edit your posts

[Wayne Presley]

I think you have to have 20-25ish posts in order to post in the classified section to make sure you are a member instead of a spammer.
BTW Alex, how's the balmy Canadian weather?

Good idea, alot of that lately on FFC.

[David Hodgkins]

Still setting up the classifieds, so they are closed for just a bit more.

And yes, you will have to have a minimum post count to open a thread there. I'm thinking more like 100 than 25...

Thoughts?

:)

[mrmustang]

I believe a threshold of 25-50 should suffice.

25 works for me.

[Joe]

25 sounds good. I should be there in a day or two and I may be ready to sell something by then! :)

[OttawaFFRer]

25, lurkers need to sell items too!

[David]

Dave, I think around 25 is good as well.

David

[Mark Dougherty]

Yep 25 sounds decent to me

[Scott Shumaker]

Guess I better get posting cause I have quite a bit of stuff to sell still

[F5RSN8K]

I need to clean out my garage. I'm sure I have a few things to get rid of so I room for more things to buy.

[calbullet]

better get on the ball. I do read more than I post

[Olli]

20-25 sounds like a fair #.

[Paul Adkins]

Looking forward to the classified section also, so I'd better get posting.

25 is probably better. If you make it 100, someone may post a bunch of junky threads just to meet the minimum.

[David Hodgkins]

OK, 25 it is. I'll work on it tonight...

:)

[Tad]

25, lurkers need to sell items too!

x2, better get my post count up.

[Steve Gogo]

I agree with the 25. Will there be some kind of member rating as well? Although I think we, the members, do a pretty good job of weeding out the riff-raff.

[Steve Gogo]

Testing signature.

I'd like to make a suggestion before this thread gets stale. Canadians have some archaic legislation to deal with concerning importation of completed cars. Read that as "we can't import one". I believe you Yanks have the same problem. You cannot import one from Canada. It would really be helpful if a separate classified section could be set up for us Canucks for complete cars. It could either be a new section in the classifieds or a subsection of the Canadian discussion forum. Either that or force OPs of classified to somehow clearly identify their location so that we can all eventually weed through the classified and find the ones from our respective countries.

[davidct]

Need them.

[OregonDave]

As a newbie (MK4 arriving in a few weeks), I actually like a little advertising as long as it's relevant / targeted from vendors that I might want to do business with. Definitely agree on the 25 post threshold though.

[Waiting4Kids2Bgone]

I like the 25 posts to be able to post in the classifieds idea.

[BAUTO]

25 sound like a fair number, now only need 23 more posts

[Cobra 302]

Can I get a free one?

I don't think that's overly necessary - 98% of the cars for sale on here are in the US. Canadians are already aware of that and usually mark their f/s threads as being in Canada.

[DougR]

25 sounds good to me also.

I was on the other forum for about a year and didnt have 100 posts, but bought and sold a few things in the classifieds. I am all for cutting down on spammers but 100 minimum seems excessive....

[Indy14]

100 seems a bit much, but 25 doesn't seem like enough. A person get get 25 in 1 or 2 days if they really wanted to post a classified. 50 seems like at least they stuck around for a few days.
