You know Cm... if the five of us on the staff WHO ARE VOLUNTEERS got a cut from classifieds sales... there would be a very different dynamic here at INGO.I just dont get the resistance to drop a $20 and be done with it. Its not that much money. You drop more than that at Outback without blinking.
Its $20 per YEAR. Not $20/ad or $20/month.
And if you are here to sell, you'll make up that portrait of Jackson on your first sale.
And mods dont even get a cut of that, so its not like we push it to line our own pockets.

That's my life motto.Not interested in any drama .
The most drama free path is site supporter. You dont have to expel any energy to "people" and you get to buy/sell. I get not wanting to "people" I get that way in real life sometimes.I wasn't trying to start an argument with anyone. However this does give an example of why I don't post. I do not profess to be the most knowledgeable about anything. Nor am I ignorant. I agree, $20 a year is not much. It has been my experience, if you ask a question, there is always someone waiting to pounce and call you stupid for asking. If you give an opinion, there is always someone waiting to point out why you are totally wrong. I am not interested in selling anything. I am not asking for or expecting an exception. I was looking to make a purchase or find a place to make a purchase. Actually there are several items I would like to purchase or have wanted to purchase. Not interested in any drama .
I think people get tired of stating the reasons 4 times a day. Because newvies don't read the other posts or the intro rules. So they might get a little snippy.It would have been very simple to say, "this is why we ask for $20 a year". No need to be condescending.
Brad! Dude!! You started one thread and there were over 160 posts as the result. Keep doing what you are doing.I wasn't trying to start an argument with anyone.

There is a saying here "Come for the classifieds, stay for the people." TK gets a LOT of traffic due to the classifieds and many stick around even without buying.I've only used the classifieds once and that was eons ago. Wonder if there is a way that people can't see them
unless they are a site supporter or have 50 posts. Doesn't a person need a set amount of posts to message
another member? Maybe a set up like that and the entire problem would be eliminated.
If that was aimed at me, no condescension was intended. Some folks say my matter of fact posting style can seem kinda arrogant too. I'm quite sweet and cuddly. Just ask @printcraftIt would have been very simple to say, "this is why we ask for $20 a year". No need to be condescending.
You’re too skinny to be cuddly, IMO.If that was aimed at me, no condescension was intended. Some folks say my matter of fact posting style can seem kinda arrogant too. I'm quite sweet and cuddly. Just ask @printcraft
its a VERY common complaint. probably weekly.I did not expect this much of a response. I'm going to pay my $20 and return to the shadows, lol.
Wait, didn't we hear this like, yesterday?its a VERY common complaint. probably weekly.
