By like minded I meant those of us who enjoy shooting and related posts instead of just posting stupid stuff like your comment. If you’re a free thinker you’re charging too much.

You mods have large shoulders.
I just changed my mind after reading the newest....
Thanks for proving my point... really goes to show the community so many folks in the thread talk about. I bet noobs totally want to stick around a forum with digs like that flying around.
I knew you’d come around. [emoji12] you didn’t jump on those deals? He’s been a member since 11/20 with 10 posts. All of them items for sale at such great prices.

ROBbery?
I've always considered these forums, places to help and get info. Classifies were just a benefit of this.
Most forums that have minimum post counts have members scattered out all over the country. Usually minimum counts are a good way to keep people from getting scamed since most items have to be shipped. That's not the norm here though.
I showed up here when we had the minimum thread count, back then, and even now, I feel like having a minimum post count goes to prove that you’re here for more than selling/buying. Granted, anyone can make 25 mediocre posts allowing them to access the classifieds, but it was a way to give individuals a chance to introduce themselves and see the value in contributing before getting the homie hookup on the classifieds.
the “we’re all a family” thing is crap. We’re all a bunch of opinionated buttholes. We have our differences. We want to help each other out when it comes to our shared hobbies though. We get a little grumpy if someone wants to taste the fruits of membership without contributing to the collective brain. With most established members, I don’t feel the need to count money in front of the other party. The other day when buying a shotgun barrel from @CHenry i was invited inside because it was cold outside. That spoke volumes to me and meant a lot, honestly. Myself, if it wasn’t someone established, I wouldn’t have considered it. Showing yourself to be a part of the community brain shows yourself to be a little more trustworthy than the average schmuck off armslist.
