Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Rich,
I know Mike Curtain from other Forums and I believe him to be a very honest and good hearted person. He is definitely a well respected individual around the forums. I don't know why you would call him out like this when he may have some points with his criticism towards your website. I personally have found it hard to post adds here as well now after the change. But I guess that makes me a bad guy too for saying it here for all to read. And the comments you make towards another forum about earning a few extra stripes and medals for his efforts just makes you look very weak and affraid. That makes me personally sick. And for the RECORD THEY changed my screen name over there with no questions nor did they ask me for money to change my name.
Regards,
Bill Rubin

Why on earth would you call attention to one of the only mistakes in an otherwise well-written paragraph and assume that it was anything other than a typo? And even if it wasn't...grow up a little, eh?

Sorry, but I can't help that Mike has developed the attitude that he has. But I do not feel inclined to ignore it when he brings it to this site. I felt pretty certain that this thread would expose some of this sort of thing, as it usually does when I become the topic of a thread. Some people can't resist the chance at cheap shots when it presents itself to them.
In case this is still unclear to you, it is no more difficult to post ads on this site now than it was before I made the change concerning replies. Again, I repeat myself, it is ONLY replies to ads by non contributing members that were curtailed.
"Weak" and "afraid"? Of what, if I might ask?
And no, I have not ever asked you for money to change your screen name. But I probably did point out to you that member name changes are a perk for contributing memberships on this site. I DO have to have some things as perks of paid membership, don't you think? Sorry if that policy has confused you and/or disappointed you that I would not make an exception in your case.

Non contributing members CAN post classified ads just as they have been able to do in the past. It is merely replies to those ads, in an effort to cut down the amount of crap taking place in those sections, that has been curtailed. Mike knows this is the case, but apparently chose his words in such a way to make it appear that ALL posting has been curtailed. I had originally planned to cut out ALL replies, but at the last minute decided to half step and still allow contributing members that ability, to see if that made a substantial improvement in the situation. If it does not, then that option will also be removed.
It is still my opinion that Mike has had a chip on his shoulder about me and this site for quite a while now, and he looks at this as his opportunity to try to inflict some damage with misinformation. I guess he believes he will earn a few extra stripes and medals for his efforts.... I'm surprised the other pseudo troops he is now buds with haven't chimed in as well.
Seriously Mike, do you THINK no one has read what you have posted elsewhere about me and this site?

I meant to say "replies". In no way did I intend to lead anyone else otherwise.
Rich, you are entitled to your opinion. I'm certain that others have read what I have posted here and on that "other" site who's very name is censored from Faunaclassifieds.com, with regards to this site. I would not say elsewhere anything that I would not say here. If that were the case, why would we be having this discussion? Suggesting that I pointed out your snide tone in order to score points on the is laughable, and is simply an attempt to distract the reader from the matter at hand.
Do I think your response warranted a BOI thread? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
Do I think your response is one of an administrator who gives a crap about any of his site's members? See above response.

The typo was kind of an afterthought - it caught my eye as I'm pretty sure it caught everyone else's who can write half-way descently. My main point was there is nothing of an attacking nature towards another website in WS's earlier post the quotation I was refering to was interpreting as - oh heck with this, you know what, I'm rubber and you are glue, and whatever you say to me bounces off of me, and sticks to you.

It's called "sarcasm". See - you called me immature, well ok, you didn't call me that, but you implied it, so I responded with a marvelous saying kids who were much smarter than myself used to say, back in the day, and how could you get past that?!?!? Anyway, I am actually quite mature. Please, allow me to demonstrate:
Pardon me, but would you happen to have any Grey Poupon?
