    For the record, steel acts as a Faraday cage to protect your mind form reading or directed energy beams as well as tin or aluminum foil but with the added benefits of limited bullet resistance.

    Would a troll be a member of the TGT "Rant Pack" that have deputized themselves as Hall Monitors? They keep track of the NOOBS aka new members as they like to refer to them. The "Rant Pack" gets all butt hurt if a NOOB "might" join the TGT Forum just for the intent of selling something in the classified section. It's all kind of silly IMO. See, "Rant Pack's" whole philosophy is these "NOOBS" are joining TGT so they don't have to pay the outrageous fees that eBay, GB and others charge. Their intent is to harass and run those NOOBS out of town!

    I've been a member of both eBay and GB for 10 to 15 years. GOD knows I've paid plenty of dues as a seller! The uniqueness of eBay, GB, ETC is one can find things there that they can't find anywhere else. The downside is buyers "now" have to pay those nasty government taxes if they shop on those sites! See, NOOBS may have something to sell that you "Rant Pack" members may have interest in. Moreover, you won't have to pay those nasty government taxes. So, the "Rant Pack" may want to reconsider their whole philosophy and quit harassing the NOOBS. If you do so, you can rejoin the rest of 99.9% civilized TGT members that are friendly, helpful and supportive! I know it will be tuff for you but, you can do it!

    Just for the record, I just listed and sold 2 items on eBay yesterday. I didn't want the "Rant Pack" to get butt hurt!

    PS. Thanks again to the other 99.9% TGT Forum Members that have been friendly, helpful and supportive!

    It was a "Rant Pack" rant in another thread towards me indirectly. Another new member that came to my defense. The "Rant Pack" then turned on him. It was all very childlike. I appreciated his support but, I can finish my own fights. Especially when I didn't start one. The moderators must have stepped in and removed most of the back-and-forth conversations. It's all good. There're always those types.

    It's not that people are selling, it's that they do things like continuously bump dead threads and spam them so they can get their 25 posts and then be on their merry way to the classifieds.

    This type of behavior is why I try to go out of my way and thanks folks (like you) who become supporting members in order to sell.

    Many here do take exception to folks coming by, treating it like ebay and then leaving. You have to understand that this isn't eBay with a chat room. It's an internet community where many real life friendships have been created that happens to have a classified section.

    @Car 54 - I didn’t expect this from you, after you had such an over-the-top introduction. I thought you were going to be a forum contributor, instead of “one of them.”
    Don’t get me wrong, I do see your point and empathize but I see the other side too, which I will try to explain:
    TGT is primarily a discussion forum.

    TGT is primarily a discussion forum.
    Yes.

    It's also a gateway to in-person meet-ups. For the folks who attend, those IRL events are probably more important than having a discussion forum.

    Also, as regards the OP starting this thread, the process for becoming a member has changed and there's a bit more screening on the front end. I think we've seen less of the people who want to come in and immediately start political arguments...though I could be wrong about that. I know the outright spammers who are just programs that join and mass-post to forums are no longer the problem they once were.
