it is not allowed to hijack an existing topic anywhere in trad gang land to attempt to sell, buy or trade a bow.

this is particularly true of members who have not yet reached the magic 100 post count to allow bow ad posting. doing so is wrong and very uncool.

if you do this, admin, the mods, and fellow members will not be happy campers. please keep us happy.

thanx and we do appreciate your understanding.

If anyone else tries that trick.....just ban em. Life is too short to deal with short cutters.

Come on Rob and Terry you know that some people actually believe the rules don't apply to them!

It's not that hard to get 100 post's, you could learn more about trad archery in 100 post than what you learned in 10yrs of being ignorant. Its good to know you guys police all areas of the site.Great job and keep it up.Thank you

Yeah...and we've had a bunch of folks just post one word replies on a tear thinking they would be granted permission....and even had others tell folks to do so.

Some folks just don't get it....and this site is about folks that do get it.

I like the oversight and the 100 minimum post. It gives me a better idea of who I might possible be dealing with. Keep up the good work!! This is a great site with some very good people.

You mods and your dedication to keeping this site running so smooth is too often taken for granted. Thank You for all that you do to keep this site what it is. There isn't a better place to be.

Just a word to the wise, some of us that have been around for a while will often times pull up a profile and do a little back ground reading just to get a feel for the person we might be dealing with.

If the majority of your posts are one or two words and a couple of smiley faces, you can bet we're gonna dig a little deeper.

I want to trust everyone and for the most part I do give everyone the benefit of the doubt but I'm going to try to get all the information I need to keep myself safe.

Everything is made much easier and feels a heck of a lot safer with Terry,the administrators and moderators keeping shepherd over the flock.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

God bless,Mudd

Very true Mudd, if anyone really appreciates this site then they will wait. This site is a wealth of information waiting at there fingertips. Young or old you can gain knowledge thru this site.

Mudd is certainly correct about doing research.

I never trade with someone on the site until I know their handle and have done a search. If I find any dispararging remarks about short, bald, or folks over 50 I'm reluctant to do business with em -- I don't like folks being mean to friends who don't resemble me in the least.

While I registered on Trad Gang several years ago, when I was starting to dabble with the idea of going traditional again, I didn't post much. This spring I got to reading on here again. Then I thought I might like to post a bow on classified and the 100-post rule was invoked. So, I remember, I was out of town. I just started going to every thread that looked the least bit interesting and some where I could provide insight. I put out a couple dozen posts pretty quick and then obtained permission to post a classified.

Funny thing happened. While making all the posts I sort of got hooked visiting with fellow bowhunters. In fact, I didn't post a classified for more than 7-8 months later.

I do know it is easy to get caught up in a thread and forget a rule. For example, on a recent thread (still current) about Bear TD limbs I might have crossed into classified turf without really meaning to do so. A big guy in a plaid shirt came to my front door. He was wearing a beat up ole Fedora. He made me shoot his right-handed longbow. It vibrated the living tar out of my bow arm elbow (but I didn't hear it). Taught me a lesson!
