Pete you have been here long enough to recognize a little sarcasm, have you not?
Yup. Purple was implied

Speaking of becoming a site supporter, do we have a choice about the badge being displayed. I dont contribute much here, but I like the forum.
yes, I bought 3 guns from other sites b/c I couldn't buy here: such a waste, since this is such a wonderful site, but, I'm sure they do it this way to keep abuses and fraud from happening.
I finally paid the $20 membership fee when I found out about it, which then allowed me to shop here, but I'd already bought 3 guns.
I am looking for a 4th, so maybe I can use this site to get it.
I enjoy reading the posts on here. Not so much of a poster, unless I feel like it, which isn't that often usually. Have been prowling around for a long time. Great site. One of the few issues here is the rude people on here that will accuse you of being here only for the classifieds...lol. I always get a chuckle. I understand some people only want the classifieds, blah blah blah. It's just the way it is. But some, not all, but some should show a little more class...

Read back a about a week ago and you will post a poster that whined about this very subject. The poster it to 51 and promptly posted a WTS ad and hasn't posted since. His goal was and is obvious to those of us that either post content that is worth reading or (as in my case) pay to insure this site is here for the long term.
I don't like this rule. I understand the need for it, but still don't like it.
Yep, we see it all the time. Members that use the forum as a marketplace without so much as a thank you. It's free to contribute conversation and so many won't even do that, let alone pay a site supporter fee to help keep the doors open.
Right here. Quote from 1 week ago. He hit his 51st post then went straight to the classifieds and hasn't posted since. He's been online to check his ad (last time was 2 hours ago) but not a word to the public since then.

This pattern repeats itself way too often. I'm sure we'll see it again in another week or so. Things like this have really soured me on making any purchases here. I won't buy from members that do this or just squat in the classifieds. I won't sell to them either. I don't use the classifieds much, but when I do I'm very picky about who I deal with. I don't care if it's a $.25 roll pin. I'm surprised we haven't seen threads whining about 'I got my 50 posts, why won't people buy my stuff?'

There's enough low post count buyers and sellers that they can deal with each other and not be affected too much by us folks with integrity.This pattern repeats itself way too often.

What? INGO has rules? What's next, I'll find out there are FAQs??

I figure the pace I'm on won't be in classifieds till 2020. Lol
Well I wouldn't call myself a runner. Been on archery talk for 14 yrs and probably only posts couple dz times.
