I feel stupid asking, but if I don't ask I'll remain that way.
I read about the "Trading Post" but can't find it. Where is it? Is it because I'm on probation I can't see it?

Asked and answered, the current rules are due to past abuse by others, welcome to the site.Quote:

Also to a link of rules that asks me to post agreement, of which I've already done. Told it's locked away in B4, of which I have no idea what B4 is.
So, I've come to the conclusion; the Trading Post forum is just a fictitious place that doesn't exist, and was simply devised to mess with the heads of new members. OK, got it.
damn your quicker than most. patience grasshopperQuote:

We've found that those just joining to sell their stuff don't want to wait the 30 days and just move along. It's cut down on a lot of issues we used to get. We try to get folks to realize that this is first and foremost a discussion forum - that has the benefit of a Tading Post too.Quote:

This is how we are, but we'll grow on you.Quote:

Im not sure I'm good enough to grow on anyone. I just yell at people like the troll under the bridge, but I'm the nerd under the server.Quote:

Oh, and actually, I did want to buy an AR. That's ok, I'll just buy it somewhere else and stick around here for the camaraderie with folks in my area that have similar interest.
I just burn those things off like ticks...Quote:

It's all good. I'll be here, albeit likely with less prolificness once the slopes get covered with snow. Workin is a bitch.Quote:

Hang out, talk to people, enjoy and learn!!
Naw, i think you got it wrong. He was very helpful to me in finding a missed restriction on the site we have been chasing for a bit. Didn't want anything in return. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise, hope others will too.
Not making a point with it, just an attempt to help. Was just notifying Houston that they had a problem. Houston contacted me via PM, and I supplied them with the origin of it, so they could repair it. Simple as that.Quote:
