When a new thread comes up for approval to the mods, what format do they see it in when they are reviewing it? If it’s like PM’s or the regular forum, couldn’t you just make all paying members have their username in italics or have an orb or something like the paying members do on that OTher forum so as to easily distinguish?

:dunno:

Everyone should be able to see and reply to pre-made posts (as in “yes, I’ll take your item”), but only premium members should be able to actually start a thread. I think that’d make the most sense… A agree that 10 bucks is nothing, but it’s stupid if only a handful of people can see it anyway…

Yes, everyone should be able to view the classfieds, no premade posts or anything tho. there is a PM for that.

I beleive this is a great decision! this will keep out people just joining to sell shit

Wasn’t this thread started by Cutty bitching about how the site is boring because all the new threads are classifieds? So somehow reducing the classifieds is a way to improve that? It still won’t make other interesting threads suddenly appear. Although his griping as at least produced this somewhat interesting thread.

Also, the other/related gripe was from those using the show new threads/posts feature and getting a ton of classifieds threads/posts. the simple solution to that is for those people to either stop bitching and sort through the threads/posts when using that function or to simply click the non-classifieds forums individually to see what is going on in them. Most users posts on here seem to be limited to 2 or three of those sections anyway. An alternative solution to appease such whiners is to modify the show new posts/thread function to not include the classifieds section, which I would think doable but I am not familiar with the underlying coding or whatever.

Unless the cost of the space being used by the classifieds section is heavily outweighing the additional traffic it produces removing or greatly limiting it would be rather nonsesical.

So now if a non donating member wants to sell something, they make a craigslist ad, and a post in off-topic “craigslist find”… retarded

“Amusing” craigslist posts seem to be annoying to a lot of people, so ones for random classified stuff will be more annoying, and will most likely be deleted.

[grnteg98]

that was my whole point, it’ll just get dumb, mods will go through and delete craigslist posts. but thank god i can find out what the fuck twitter is.

[fshowcars]

did you people seriously not know what twitter is? i’d figure anyone that visited internet forums regularly would have a fucking clue.

btw twitter and other internets social networking sites are for douchebags

So are you saying you would want the craigslist posts to be left there? Or were you just pointing out that it will happen?

[grnteg98]

pointing out that it will happen. and as a mod, do you really want to go and police off-topic? I thought that was the whole point, post anything.

And i highly doubt Bob would’ve started this post if the classifieds were riddled with g-body parts/cars for sale.

[bics56]

You have to be a donating member to reply to a classified?

[whitey]

you should be able to

[bics56]

I am, I tried earlier and I wasnt able to. Thanks!

I wasn’t around during the PSR days, but have really enjoyed the last couple of years of this forum. I got to meet a few really nice people, admire some really nice cars, and have been entertained, hysterically at times.

This board is almost 6 years old and I would be willing to bet that the great majority of the OG PSR members have moved on, leaving only a select few stuck in the past, like Uncle Rico longing for '82. How many people have the same interests as 6 years ago? Who even has the same car as they did 6 years ago? So many people probably have jobs, kids, and responsibilities that didn’t exist back then.

Times are changing and so are the people. Pittspeed will be overhauled like a worn out civic and will never be the same as it was 5 or 6 years ago.

Your mom knows what twitter is.

ahhh the good old PSR days
