I just tried to edit a post made before the communist rule change of “pay or get out”. (It’s a joke not a dick. Don’t take it so hard). So we can’t even edit old posts unless we subscribe to your forum?

Love the "communist" comment - the irony! (Well played!) 😂


Reread the bottom of the first post.

I am one of the “cheapest” people you will probably ever meet. With that being said, this should in no way discourage any legitimate forum member from carrying on as usual. It’s not a monthly $20 fee, it’s a one time fee. How can someone complain about paying for $20 once when the potential for making thousands is there? You sell a gun just once and it already pays for itself. At any point in time, the owner of NVShooters could decide this isn’t worth it anymore, then what? Also, the classifieds are a small portion of what this website offers, so if you are a firearms enthusiast and not only a buyer/seller, you will find something to take up your time eventually. If you really want to sell/buy firearms only without adding to any conversations, there are many outlets to do so. Most are not free and that’s for a reason.

I figure I spend enough time posting here with the community, both for firearm and non-firearm related reasons, that I could toss a few shekels their way to keep the lights on. Lord knows I’ll spend $20 on far more foolish things over the course of a year.

The people who (b****) about this stuff are the same ones that (b****)ed when Netflix made it so they couldn't freeload on somebody else's account.

Some people on here gunna have to kick in $40-$60 bucks for their multiple accounts

 

[Jethro]

I know many here contribute more than the $20 annually because we appreciate the site, not just to sell.

 

[Ogre]

For any costs that come with the forum as well as income is going to have to be reported. So whatever income it's generating the Irs is gonna want their cut.

Come next year thanks to biden if you own a S-corp or a LLC and the buisness is not paying the owner of the company in which they own a payroll it's a automatic flag and audit....

Yes it's a free forum but whoever has the tax liability it is not a free forum...

Very well said. It's 20 bucks not a kidney for heavens sake...

Is that a thing? I've seen accusations on another forum, but never took them too seriously. I do recall a sniper getting called out here several years ago. Bill busted him with Google image search, if I recall. It was glorious.

No hard proof …. But have noticed a couple things before. Doesn’t bother me tho ….. I find it comical

Since for unknown reasons I end up approving most of the new members, maybe when I approve one who, in response to my welcome to the forum PM, comes back and tells me that they are only here to sell a gun or a couple of guns, and that after that they will be gone or not contributing to the forum, maybe I should start a thread listing those new members who fall into that category...... so potential buyers will be aware of what they are potentially dealing with.

I actually get quite a few of those each month.

Some even have gone so far as to say they don't like guns, inherited one or more and just want to be rid of them, and a couple even said they don't support the Second Amendment, don't believe anyone needs to own a gun, but figured they could get more selling the guns here than at a police department buy back!

And on the subject of multiple accounts, we really should start a thread of all those folks who, in violation of the rules, DELIBERATELY create more than one account, knowing that sooner or later they will get permanently banned and can just come back instantly with another account, using a different screen name and email address.

We have had a few who accidentally, due to the GMAIL issue we had some time back, ended up with multiple accounts, but nearly 100% of those folks have sent me a PM saying "I think I have another account with a GMAIL address, this is it, please delete it."

There is one individual who I believe holds the record for this, with nearly a dozen accounts created, he just keeps coming back, and his only real contribution here is /was to also create more than the allowed number (2) ads in each of the three sections of the Trading Post.

Basically, in my personal, cranky old A.I. Program opinion, it boils down to this, if you don't like the rules here, you have the following choices:
Obey them, and work to get them changed.
Disobey them and get banned.
Just stay off the forum.
Buy the forum and run it anyway you please.

In my time here I have sold a lot of stuff and am happy to contribute to continue to leverage the FS section. Easily 2-3 times my feedback number based on how many folks don't leave feedback).

Perhaps consider creating a paid for sale section while still maintaining a free one. That way people can choose where to make their for sale posts, and where to make their for sale purchases.

My thought is that by limiting the posting of ads (including WTB) to only forum supporters, the base is greatly reduced. It’s like owning a store, but restricting yourself to one wholesaler when can have greater variety by using them all.

Maybe just a WTS for the drop-ins? The inheritors, or the ones that don't care for the 2nd or wanting to support the forum? Like a freeloader/newbie section?

That would be great!!!

That would tell me exactly where I would NOT want to go to buy, sell or trade.

I think you’re making fun of my status as a “New Member”.

I’ll spend $20 on far more foolish things over the course of a year.

I'd be happy if I could get by a week without blowing $20 on something foolishly.

A long time ago when I was a newb on here I overpaid $20 on a gun. New bills and they stuck together. I won't say who because it was a revolver and not a Glock. He called me to come get the $20.

Guys that complain about $20 to post stuff for sale make me wonder if they'd be as good to deal with.

No not at all. That would discriminatory, and this day and age people get exciled for less..

I'm making fun of myself at your expense and the expense of others.

Plenty of new members have instantly seen the value of Nevada's largest and best firearms forum and chosen to be contributors and supporters right away.

Is the base reduced, or is revenue increased? It can be both.

Actually, it IS owning a store. NS is a business.
