Can't seem to reply in my own threads...

I look at everyone's site if they give a short list of what they have available there, on their Fauna classifieds post. Perhaps in the topic line something could be included as to the price level of the morphs available--i.e. "high end morphs for sale". Usually I won't click on ones with only "high end" in the title, but if it says "low end" (I know they're not low end in terms of beauty, just what they typically sell for ) I will usually check it out and see if they have something in my ideal price range.
Just offering a customer's insight. I don't mind checking a seller's website for other animals. I'm not sure about other people, but it's not a big issue to me.

Not that my opinion matters much but I have an idea. If it's been said before, please forgive me for repeating some thing some one else has already said.

Why not just have it where paying members can bump all they want and non paying members only get one bump a day? Violation of bumping can be punished by a 1(?) day ban from the site? Just a thought.

i would think enforcing a rule such as that (violation of bumping by a non paying member, and 1-day ban punishment) would require WAY too much policing by the moderators, not to mention impractical.

Like I said, it was just a thought. Another site I am on allows only 2 bumps of ads. After the two bumps the ad is left alone. If the poster of the ad does bump again the ad is then deleted by the mods. No one is allowed to post on other peoples ads either. Even though it is free to advertise there and traffic there probably isn't quit what it is here, the system seems to work pretty well.

Has anyone suggested limiting the number of ads allowed per day so that you have to have multiple animals listed in one ad not a dozen separate ads. I know several users list every animal separate when they could put four animals in one ad since that is the number of attachments you are allowed in a single ad. I personally list multiple animals on one ad as to be courteous of the other users and not take up all the prime real estate on the first page.

so instead of bumping guys are reposting their ads....I see no gain or difference. Only fix is to set non paying members to a max amount of threads in a section they can start/post.

just my opinion, I became a member to give back to a site that served me, not to try to make a million bucks off of it.

They just wouldnt be bumping as many ads and would take up less space is what I was getting at.

Again, that just makes more work for the mods who already have more then enough to do already.

Ok I read to page 8 and had to answer a few things, and just hoping they havent been answered yet (but judging by this thread it doesnt matter if theyve been answered cuz some ppl dont read)

1 If someone PMs a question that u may have forgot to post is it really that hard to go back and edit the original post to include that forgotten info.

2 If ur looking for a specific animal the u can utilize the search ability. If ur just looking thats shopping. So shop through the pages and look at them all, I do. I go til I start recognizing posts or til im halfway into yesterday.

3 Bringing back the Participant sounds like a good idea. Gives those that post a few to stay in with out really hurting the wallet at all.

4-I dont see why free users are complaining about this, how many of u have actually thanked Rich or the mods for running and maintaining this site? Not paying anything but just thanked them in a PM? If I wasnt buying snakes I woulda sent in my contribution. But I really should because I BUY THEM OFF THIS SITE! And I dont HAVE to pay a "finders fee," or "exclusive membership." Thats what I love about this site. Its the whole reason I spend 6+ hours a day on here and ten minutes on kingsnake. I dont even plan on having snakes to sell in a couple of years but I will still be a member by the start of 2011, I just have to close a few open accounts first.

But heres an idea, why not extend the number of posts on the first page. Especially in the BP classifieds.

If you wanna look at from a business perspective, you gotta spend money to make money.

JMHO
