[QUOTE="Roadrunner70, post: 3503675, member: 44811"] Maybe an idea: What about working/talking with local businesses, at least gun related, to get support? The Dealers listings are always bare as bones. I have discussed with quite a few of local gun stores, smiths, and ranges here, they all know of this site, but they do not feel welcomed here and they see it as a waste of time to even be on here. They have ALL moved to Armlist because of this since they get a Premium Vendor Tag which differentiates them from private sellers and you can filter them on/off. Why not offer the same sort of deal to our local gun stores ,etc, that Armslist is doing: Premium Vendor accounts. Give them a special Local Vendor Tag on their account, lock their accounts to Dealer listings sub-forum only. Maybe we could group think on ways to improve their tools here. They get to advertise, you get more financial support to keep the site running. Help keep each other stay alive so to speak. The number of classifieds posts here are shrinking, granted covid isn't helping atm, and its not because of a paywall or limit to the number of posts per month. its because you now have competition in Armslist. And lets be honest and factual here, it is winning. More post on there for private sales than on here everyday of the week. Which saddens me as I'm not a fan of the site, but when I'm looking to buy, i have to use it. This site has to Adapt and Evolve at least a little IMO. As it says on one of my tattoos, partially, from HG Wells: "Adapt or Perish" now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative. I'm all for a group think brain storm for additional ways to help bring financial support to keep this site alive. Might make a Sticky Post somewhere hint hint!! [/QUOTE]
