Just kick 10 bucks to the cause and you don't need to be a member of the community or have any quality post...
maybe there sould be a thread for the "50 POST RULE"There's one of these posts about every day now, it seems.
Its $15 now I think
Yikes, when did that happen?
Joined recently and saw something I was interested in buying and this site won't let me email, PM or reply to seller. I'm confused--He wants to sell, I want to buy--Why isn't communication allowed unless one has lots of posts?
It's still $15.00 not the end of the world.
Yikes, when did that happen?
This is implemented (IMHO), to keep people from joining just to buy something from the classifieds.
You will probably have a hard time finding a member to sell to you even if you had 15 posts and were able to pm. Most guys won't deal with anyone under 50 posts.
Actually, for some people it might be easier to avoid the "50 quality posts" rule by:
I may be missing a few steps, but ...that's the general idea, I imagine.
- invest in bulletin board software
- invest in computers, routers, servers, etc
- invest time learning about how all the software and hardware work
- invest time putting everything together
- invest time reconfiguring everything when it doesn't work the first time
- put the word out that you've got this fantastic gun forum and that everything is free to anyone who would like to post anything
- discover the concept of online anarchy after you realize your forum has no guidelines ...or FAQ
- come back to INGO and realize that having a "50 post rule" really isn't so bad after all
And, if you'd really rather read than write (nothing wrong with lurking), consider that the average gun magazine (the kind on the news stand, not the kind you load your gun with ) runs somewhere around $4-5 or so, and consider that you probably buy at least a few of them a year ...springing $15-20 a year for something you can read every day that offers:
Really, if that aint a deal, I don't know what is!
- direct access to several firearms, knife, training, and related equipment retailers
- personal and professional reviews of firearms and related gear
- updates, trends, and general discussions on issues concerning Indiana firearms laws and policies
- all manner of topics that aren't necessarily firearms related (though, categorized nicely in there appropriate forums).
- announcements and discussions of regional happenings, opportunities, meet & shoots (and eats), etc.
- the opportunity to participate in NFA Day!
- posts on all things bacon!
- at least a dozen or two other things
- ...and, even, classifieds!
there should be a pop quiz before you can make your first post...
"how many posts does one need to post in the classifieds?"
"how much does it cost to become a site supporter to get around the post count?"
"bacon? yes or no"
You can buy guns here???
I thought we were just suppossed to chat about them?
That's what my license says.
