Who is the administrative contact for this forum now?
Sounds good.
Like I said before, there should be no limit whatsoever on how many parts a member sells.
Unless they've been proven to be a business.............. and still, I dunno. This whole thing just seems unimaginable.
I'm not referring to the price you threw out.

That portion is not up to me.
Lets say that they don't go for the unlimited selling. Lets hear your number that you feel that the "Average" Joe would have.
Indy,
I'll keep it as simple as I can. I am trying to throw ideas out to resolve this. I am addressing "Regular" members right now. Lets leave revenue, funds., etc out of the equation at this point. Also no changes have been made just enforcement of the current rules.
There is always a "What if" case. And I threw out a combination of WTS/WTT/FS as an example, not an absolute.
The signature is not being addressed with this, that is a whole different issue.
You are not comprehending what I am addressing at the moment. I am not asking for ideas or suggestions concerning anything else but what I have stated. I don't think that is unfair since the biggest concern is from regular members.
The dealer/vendor/business issue will be addressed. But cut me slack here. I am putting forth an effort to resolve these issues.

Doc,
The problem with this type of enforcement for "regular" members is that it won't work. I for one, ONLY make seperate threads because I've been on forums long enough to know NOT everyone likes to read. People don't want to sift through a 100 item list of parts in one single thread. The problem gets consolidated when others start posting in that thread and then add to the fact that we can't edit our posts and the thread quickly turns to ****! This is EXACTLY why I make several threads to part out my car. I can keep things organized for others as well as myself.
I SIMPLY make multiple F/S threads to make it more convenient for everyone! I can just as easily post EVERYTHING I have in one for sale thread and we wouldn't even be having this conversation/problem. It's only for the reasons I stated above that I don't do this. I'm not here selling multiple car parts or parting out a ton of RX-7's. I sell the stuff that I have lying around from changes I've made to MY own vehicles.
I believe a LOT of the savy members on here employ the same tactic I do, which is probably why they've been singled out as well.

I for one won't look at a multiple item thread unless they part I'm interested in is included in the title.
Well, I'm not sure I've ever sold anything here, and yet I've got as many posts as some of the "big sellers" in question here.
I'm not sure why selling things in the for sale section constitutes "free advertising" in the minds of the ownership. The For Sale section is a feature of the forum, same as any other section and a reason for people to visit. Ultimately the 100k members and amount of visitation on the site is what made it a valuable property to buy in the first place. If I were to frequent the suspension section more than others, am I gonna get charged per post for that too?
Why is this suddenly an "issue" that needs to be "resolved" with some sort of solution at all? What's the real issue here? Are the paying advertisers complaining the way they did about lounge content? Is it a server capacity issue? What exactly is the "problem"?

Well the rules also state that if you have 5 different things to sell, don't start 5 threads.
I agree about the fact that members come onto threads and post pointless or thread crapping material. You have probably noticed that I go in and delete many times to curb this.
Things such as excessive bumping,pointless posts, thread crapping and general off topic conversations in classified threads seem to clutter the classified forums.
But again these are all separate but related topics but I need input such as suggestions, recommendations. In order to go to the negotiating table there has to be a back up or back up plans.

I understand that, but then what if you have to part-out a car and have well over 100 parts? Is 5 threads reasonable then? Classification and clarification are our biggest issue here...
Re Suggestion: I actually think that $2.99/month for unlimited selling privileges is VERY reasonable. I wouldn't have any objection to paying that or a similar amount.
Finally, Doc, you've been doing a great job of cleaning up the F/S sections! This is really the only issue I've had on this forum up until now. I'm not here to shoot any messenger, but I am concerned with how the implementation of these messages is taking place.

I think talking about just this and AVOIDING the overall politics of the forum is not the right way to go at it..
Honestly HOW MUCH MONEY DOES THIS FORUM NEED...
because we just talked the numbers...
if 100 people pay 5.00 a month ot have unlimited posting for 1 year that is 6,000 dollars a year....
does it cost that much to run THIS FORUM FOR ONE YEAR!!!
if not then I am trying to figure out WHERE is the extra cash going?
What is the extra cash we are spending going to help IMPROVE THIS FORUM
***EDIT***
I would like to add I would have no problem with paying 5.00 per month to have unlimited selling... I dont think many people would it is just the idea behind it that we are all wondering where is our money going and how is it BENIFITING this forum...
maybe make a deal... 5.00 per month or 50.00 per year if you pay anually!

Its not going to improve the forum, the company that aquired this forum paid cold cash for it as they saw rx7club and rx8club as another foundation for $$. This forum shouldn't cost more then 200-300usd amonth to host (Thats if the owner wanted a fast server...) thats not what they care about, go look into their company, all the sites they own. None are fancy whatsoever, just the sites their original owner created and IB saw as $ and took ownership.
It shouldn't cost near 1grand to host this forum for a year.
If you think thats bad, I can go into detail about how much they make per day in ads, I'm guessing rx7club alone makes roughly 250-50bucks a day, easy. I make about 10-20bucks a day on a site with 5% the traffic levels of rx7club, sooo my guess should be way off, but 25-50bucks a day is about the amount someone working full time at mc donalds would make, but its US making them that money.
too bad it was sold off, a company has no heart they don't care about rx7's, rotary engines, us.
They want to be a money making company and thats that.
I find this forum really easy to find things to buy, sucks for those people trying to make it easy for people to buy things... they don't even make that much...

A few hundred bucks is jack ****, they're a company based off internet stuff.
They got things to pay for with this forum
1) Staff, people that manage the ads on the sites, the server admins (We make a big buck (I do server work, its a good pay
I'm guessing they got atleast 4 guys, thats a full time pay check
)
They got tons of expenses, I'm sure you have no clue how much server hardware and such also costs, I don't know their hosting setup but its obviously not amature as their a business, any downtime means LOSS of money.
So yes some of the money this site makes will go to help it (its hosting) but otherwise its going into a company to pay for the staff too.

It's not what I believe or do not believe in this case. I believe it is about the amount of threads and space that is used is the factor.
I need to get the answer as to the whys to better address this.
I threw the scenario out there to offer an alternative solution without having to charge regular members for selling their items. I appreciate everyones input and hope that this matter is resolved in a timely manner and that the harmony is restored so that we can have a great New Year.
were there multiples available at times yes.. HOWEVER I did not run 2-3-4-5 different threads I always tried to contain mine to one thread...
I was not taking up extra server space by making many threads..

Sorry Dave but hate to burst your bubble. You were operating as a business. Anytime you advertise to sell new parts that you have to purchase, you are then operating as a business. You can't even begin to put yourself in the category of the regular sellers here that are even parting a car out. Behold the proof.

Why do you post your stuff here? So people buy then you get $, why do they make you guys pay for ad space and put ads on the site, so they get $
its very simple concept, 1000 posts uses almost no resources at all, so your not paying for database space
