I was just thinking about this whole f’ing mess, and Im really upset about losing the classifieds. Ok, we can’t deal in all things Myers anymore. Sucks but ok, we make that sacrifice.
But what about all the other things? People looked to sell, buy or trade everything from figures, posters, dvd’s, cameras, to other horror film masks and so on!
Shit, it was even a place where people were able to post donation requests for sick children and family issues. Why do we lose all that?
The classifieds was a cool place where by and large, you could find a reliable person to deal with concerning just about almost anything.
Im sad to see that it can’t continue on. I think as much as we might hate it, we could have behaved and continued on without Myers masks.
I was really looking forward to starting a real nice collection since I will be receiving my bonus soon… can’t believe its gone
(and I hate using ebay)
I agree,Evan.It definitely feels unfair to lose such a huge part of the site where you could buy,sell and trade anything,besides Myers masks.However,from Derek’s standpoint,there has been consistent demonstrations by select individuals to thumb their nose at the rules.So,I’m sure Derek did not need the headache or liability caused by people’s actions.It’s just impossible to police the Classifieds all the time for the mod’s and Derek.On top of blatant disregard,there would be the occasional honest mistake.Plus,there was already a lot of chatter on ways to still post using loopholes and different terms.That could have turned into a nightmare for the mod team and Derek,and jeopardized the site.It’s obvious that Derek takes pride in this place and that he respects our passion for the hobby.He has nothing to gain from this site,other than his passion for the hobby and his respect for the community.So,I hear you bro,but I also understand the reasoning behind it and why it had to be done.
Russ,I hear you too brother.It is very strange.Completely feels like a chunk of the board is gone.I keep scrolling down out of habit
Well said my friend, But how about just creating another Mod position where that Mod just Polices the classifieds, and anything thats not supposed to be in there will Immediately get yanked.
when will you guys learn? You cant talk about there being ways around it, Trancas sees everything you write. Youre going to end up getting the site shut down. And there will be noone to blame, but yourselves. If you see a mask you want, PM the person, and stop talking about it. I think Mods should delete thes ethreads as soon as they start. Just my 2 cents
the only thing thay can do is make him change the name
other then that we are doing nothing wrong
I WILL STAND FOR WHAT I LOVE
AND NO ONE AND I MEAN “NO ONE” WILL SCARE ME IN TO DOING SOMETHING I DONT WANT TO DO
The bottom line here is that the powers that be have been,are,and WILL continue to monitor this site as well as others like it.So,the very fact of conspiring aloud is also likely seen by these people.I was a Classifieds whore.I spent just as much time combing that forum as I did in General Discussion.So,there will be ways for us to obtain masks,but I do not think it will do this site any good.I would rather be able to find other means that do not involve this site,and still have this place to get together with all of you fine people.Imagine the horror of coming here to hang around one day and it’s all gone.Although the Classifieds were a huge part of this place,I think the best part is coming here and seeing people’s excitement with their new score and everyone’s creative costume shots.My hat goes off to the members here who have started positive threads and stirred up morale.This place is still very much alive.Let’s figure things out,but it will not happen overnight.
