That involves crossing the county line. I'm not sure that counts. If you were in Plainfield it would be closer than Brownsburg, so maybe, nope doesn't count!

But directly insulting other members is a quick way to get a time out.
There would have to be some mechanism in place for those like our latest shooter that have been here for years, but never saw the need to participate until something shiny appeared in the classifieds. I think it would be better all around to just make the Classifieds a site supporter perk, but only after x month(s) of membership.
IMHO we already have too many Craig's List like "traders" that have bought their way into the classifieds with the site supporter investment. It only takes a few sales to make up that money, then they are back to no-skin-in-the-game status. No general forums post history to verify who you might be dealing with.
I agree. but thats why I have passed over several deals because the seller had no history.
**** Off
I have been trying to read and reply in an honest fashion. You are a dick !
I am, as you can see, a newbee to this site or any forum site as far as that goes. I like wondering around through the site and seeing different conversations. This isn't the easiest site to use though. I don't understand why I can't reply to someone if they see that I am new and they PM me. I have the hardest time finding my own posts! I am sure some of my questions have probably been answered, but I don't know if they have or not! I'm not sure if I will ever know if you answer me!

At the top right of the page, you will find "User CP" That stands for User Control Panel. Click on that when you come back onto the forum and any threads you have posted in that have replies will show up. Click on the little brown box in front of the thread title with the three down arrows and it will take you to the first post since you were last in that thread.
Welcome to INGO. As you have discovered, it is a very busy forum and rather fast paced. It is impossible to read everything posted here, but that will help you respond to threads you have been in before. If you no longer want to read that thread or be notified of additional posts there, when in that thread, click on "thread tools" (arrow behind that phrase) at the top right of the thread, and select unsubscribe and save the changes you make.
If he's having a hard time finding threads, you might need to PM him that.
Can he read a PM?
They can read them with 10 posts, I think. They just can't respond to them.
I'm afraid to put my perspective into words here for fear of being called out. I joined INGO in Jan of 2012. I read all of the introductions and new member forums. I realized quickly that this was a place with a vast amount of information, opinions, and knowledge. I respect those of you who have thousands of posts and i knew that I was going to learn a lot from you. The problem I faced and still face 4 1/2 years later... is that I have come here to learn not teach. There is very little I could add to the wealth of knowledge and experience of the experts here. I knew better than to post 50 things in the first month of membership. I respect the spirit of the forums and the frustration that the contributors have with knew members that don't. I wish I had more to contribute. I normally only log on when I want to research something I want buy. The point of this long winded post is that I doubt any of the 50 posts i have made in the last four years have helped anyone. However, as someone who has tried to respect the "rules of the game" ... I would like to hope that I would receive similar respect even as a "newbie" contributor. I hope this doesn't ruffle any feathers as that is not my goal. I just wanted to point out that not everyone with less than 50 posts is failing to respect the spirit of the site.

Lol, we shall see.... because when runners hit 50, they typically head straight for the classified.
...exactly like you did.
