New Forum Idea!

Post by Invisible Evil »

I was thinking that maybe it would be cool to have a "Freebie" Forum, maybe as a branch off on FS/Buy/Trade.
You know kinda plays off the old "one mans trash is another mans treasure" idea.
I know that personally I have alot of stuff like ide cables, and wiring that I just dont need nor want, but dont want to sell it cuz its not worth much.
Maybe if we explore this we can set it up to where you post what you have and offer to ship it if the other persona pays shipping of there choice.

I think it might be cool,

lets hear your thoughts.

One thing that may keep it from happening is the fast that it would end causing a registration spike. Think about it, as soon as people find out they can get free stuff, they'll be all over this place and that will bring the flamers and so on.. That may be what's preventing it? Not sure..

nop.. we can say that (for example) you have to be a PCA registered member at least for 6 months or 1 year ... so that will be the filter... we will get new members but its gonna be kinda less than just giving away stuff to somebody you don't know. ;)

Yeah, Like Augi said this is for the peeps, to help each other out, and there would certainly be some limitations to the forum like the reg time. I mean its not just for handouts.

Id post hey guys I really need a 10 inch floppy,

Now most of us are gonna go hell yeah here man!

But if needed we can put up somehting.

I need a floppy, and I have a 3 ft USB cable, a couple round HD cables if they are needed..

This is a give and take thing not just a take.
I think that PCA is the more tightly knit forum on the net and I know it would be cool/

But in which forum, the for sale forum as a sub forum?

Only registered members can see the for sale forum. You know some noobs would try and take advantage and cry mammy in trying to get free parts.
