No problem at all mate, like i said with trading gone your right T-I will be better

All of you that are all excited it's closed, don't be. What you've voted for is this forum's downfall...people will begin doing PM trades, and even more people will get scammed, but they won't do anything about it, as they know if they tell a staff member about it they'll just say 'you aren't meant to trade'. So that will be a scammed member. If you had actually bothered to KEEP IT, and create a FEW RULES, it would've run smoothly, but you guys took the easy, and wrong option.

I think this is the right option not to have the trade section...
Scammers will always be about trying their luck, but it cuts out the simple scams.
Regarding PM trades.......maddness, who in their right mind is going to enter into that..

I guess anybody will be willing to PM the admin about reopening??

All in all, now its a CLEAN forum LOL!!

dont pm dave about this. dont pm anyone about it. just post it in the suggestion section. Make sure your post isnt spam in that section

These days you have to compete with the same old faces who have 100 friends, 1000 posts, and 60+ iTrader. Those who do apply are usually ignored or investigated thoroughly and denied within 12 hours because they posted the trade section. ANYWAY... I really don't care

In my reply I forgot to touch on that point too. It's really silly that it was a poll that decided this, as any old newbie could join and vote, and obviously people will have different opinions, but it's up to you guys to think about it and then choose the right thing. It's good that you're leaving it open to come back, as i'm sure it will!

Excellent news !!!

My opinion is that invites should be more earned, and less traded. Trade, throughout time, has lead to greed, and a lot of other nasty things. But that's just me...

I think it was a great idea...adds more respect to the site...Trackers don't like having there invites being traded..thats a big no no :P
