whats up with the forum? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**smokinn** · 10-17-2005, 05:59 AM

Anyone know whats going on with the forum? I try to access the parts section and when I go to post something it says I CANT!! Whats the deal here? It says I have to pay in order to post? Man I use to like this place.

bigblock73 · 10-17-2005, 07:12 AM

Only people who contribute can post 4-sale threads or WTB threads from now on. I personally think it is a good thing, after all...if it wasn't for this site, lots of people wouldn't have made the money they did...for free. On top of that, hopefully it will keep the dishonest sellers at bay.

krue · 10-17-2005, 07:13 AM

$25 whole dollars for a year.

Try running an ad in the local classifieds for that.

86 GMG · 10-17-2005, 09:15 AM

very good idea with the sales boards i agree 25.00 aint squate compared to a classified like krue said i will be sending some $ before long myself because i too have way to much extras for these trucks that i need to get rid of after the truck is back on the road. my one concern is can i still buy stuff off the site without contributing right away? thanks in advance this site is great and could never be replaced. IMHO!

Yes you can.

phlegm · 10-17-2005, 12:27 PM

I give the 25, just because its the right thing to do. Advice from this site has already saved me about 300.00 if I count it right.

Greenlee · 10-17-2005, 02:18 PM

I haven't tried to post yet because I don't need to buy or sell anything right now. However, I have contributed $5 or $10 in the past just because I wanted to. Does that mean I can post, or do I have to give more now?

Russell · 10-17-2005, 02:44 PM

Gotta purchase a 25 dollar subscription, which gives you many benefits including the ability to post for sale / wanted ads in all of the classifieds sections, along with a larger PM inbox etc. PM Josh or Liz if you've got any questions

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-17-2005, 03:48 PM

Best $25 You'll Ever Spend

Now that I think about it, seems like I have seen that here somewhere

shifty · 10-17-2005, 04:17 PM

Just a note in case any of the mods are looking - check out my signature. Not a very graceful import there

Seriously though, it seems as if some characters didn't make the conversion OK. I'll update later.

Zumo · 10-17-2005, 04:22 PM

Ah I get it. I was wondering why my self.

Mudder · 10-17-2005, 04:54 PM

Saw that in one of Josh's post yesterday. I'm sure he knows. He spent a lot of time here Saturday so he may be a little burnt out on it.

**Phuloi68** · 10-17-2005, 07:08 PM

I guess I am confused also. A while back I sent $25 because it's what I felt I would contribute to the board. It's a good board and I like to see it continue. I didn't think of it as a subscription, just a donation. I have not bought or sold a part and don't know if I will. I don't have a problem with the $25 but if it's a subscription, will i be notified when it's up? i don't remember how long ago I sent the money to Josh. How often will we be required to renew? What areas will be subscription and what won't.
Maybe the rules have been spelled out elsewhere and i missed them. Is this subscription just for the buying and selling of parts or access to all areas of the board.?
I have a feeling I am not the only one confused by this.

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-17-2005, 07:19 PM

Subscription names are in BOLD, and you get more PM space, a slightly
larger AVATAR, and of course the right to SELL in the parts section.

As for the WHOLE board, it is FREE to browse, respond, buy, etc........

If you go in user cp and scroll down to paid subscriptions it tells you the start date and end date of your subscription.

Mudder · 10-17-2005, 07:45 PM

Like Luv said. The only thing really changin is the subscription to sell and all for sale and wanted post will go to the parts for sale forums.

Greenlee · 10-18-2005, 12:42 PM

Okay, my name is not in bold so I guess whatever I gave in the past doesn't count.

***Liz*** · 10-18-2005, 01:07 PM

Greenlee PM Josh and he can look it up for you. Subscription benefits started in feb 05, and there is a sticky post on 67-72message area about it.

shifty · 10-18-2005, 02:58 PM

Love the new pink, bold italic names

***Liz*** · 10-18-2005, 03:00 PM

that would be magenta thank you

Mudder · 10-18-2005, 03:18 PM

To see what the colors are about you can go here..........

Rdub · 10-18-2005, 03:29 PM

Does $25. allow access to search?

***Liz*** · 10-18-2005, 03:31 PM

Search will be back soon thanks to the members who have subscribed for $25 and donations etc. It is in the works now.

But to answer that no. Subscriptions are not available for search, when search is on it crashes the site right now.

Rdub · 10-18-2005, 03:40 PM

Okay.... thanks.... I'm not much in to selling parts but would gladly donate 25 per year if it meant search would work.
