Glad to be on the new site, was bummed when arizonashooting.com ceased to exist however great to have a local forum. I did numerous purchases and trades on arizonashooting.com over nearly a decade....
It seems to me that this site’s algorithms for ‘vetting’ new users is rather excessive to the point that I am about to give up and seek other sites/forums to exchange.
I have a massive inventory of some impressive pieces of HW and I love trading/exchanging to try out different options. Sad to see that this is not the same as arizonashooting.com...
Perhaps a moot point that the Dems may take control.... may need to go underground for the time being to weather the storm.
The 'vetting' process for classified access in NOT excessive, but participation on the forum is a requirement. Seven posts in over a year is hardly participation, so it's understandable why you don't have access at this point. If you post every couple of days, you'll have it in no time.

This is the same owner that started the original forum. It takes time and good people to grow. While someone else taken ownership on the last forum, it was not expected the way it turned out.
Fortunately, it won't happen again. We may have lost amount of information, great folks but they are remembered and passed through on here in best possible way.
It sucks to not be able to get access to the ads section again. And what if an introvert like me just wants to read and really doesnt like replying to people like what Im doing right now lol
Will you pussies stop crying about the classifieds for f***'s sake? Either participate in the forum and enjoy the benefits or pay your monthly subscription to Armslist. This kvetching about "being a member on the old board" nonsense is just asking for a free pass without trying to seem like a chump. I've been on every iteration of this board since it was a slow-ass BBS 20 years ago, ya didn't see me crying about classifieds access when the newest page started. Participate or kick rocks, pretty simple concept

A little blunter than I would put it, but I think you hit the nail on the head. It's people trying to make a withdrawal from the forum before even making any deposits. Participate a little more and you've got it. It's an extremely low barrier to entry, so if you can't make it happen, you definitely didn't want it bad enough.
When I first got on the forum, the restrictions on the classifieds were a little annoying, but now that I'm on the other side, I'm glad the restrictions are in place. This place would be a cesspool of scammy ads and low life asshats if everyone had instant access. When I deal with someone off of another site, I'm skeptical from the beginning of the transaction, I want to see their ID, and I want to meet on neutral turf so that they don't know where I live. When I deal with someone off this forum, I generally just give them my address and don't make them jump through the hoops. That's because it tends to be a tighter knit group of regulars.
I never could figure out why the classifieds are so important to some people ?
Then again I am old and I don't really want or need anything I don't already have.

Posters like you are what's preventing good conversations from happening in forums. Not all people are comfortable posting as much as you do. No need to insult and call names just to get your point across.

I think that what you are saying is exactly the opposite. He is re-iterating the need to participate in other forums than just the classifieds.
I too have been on the board(s) both old and new through many changes for close to 20 yrs. It is fair to say that we DO NOT want this to be BackPage lite, and one way to facilitate that is to have members contribute their knowledge and opinions in the various forums. This is a free site and it is not too much to ask that people share firearm tips or advice to gain admission to the sales forums.
Don't like it, find another site or start your own, plain and simple.

How is it opposite? I expressed an opinion so I can participate and keep the thread going, which is the goal of the program, and then you'll see people call you pussy or tell you just leave. And Im not even trying to change the rules
The thing that sucks I think about the classifieds working as they do now is that it seems to me that it dramatically reduces the potential customer base for someone trying to sell something. It be what it be though.
