VGT, please don't copy Armslist - 10/22/20 09:24 AM
One of my rituals during days off is to grab a cup of coffee and peruse local listings here on VGT and then on Armslist (in that order, because VGT > AL). Got a nasty surprise this morning from Armslist - all my ads were deactivated overnight and AL is now a paid subscription service for both private persons as well as vendors.
VGT, PLEASE do not emulate this. Please. AL claims this change is to strengthen the community and help prevent scammers from over-posting; I don't believe this will help much, and it's just going to push a massive number of would-be patrons over to another platform.
Y'all here at VGT have the secret sauce to running a good, solid forum with a great reputation. In this guy's opinion no changes are required.
