I actually think that the reason ia started going down is because of the servers. around last year? don't remember.. i just remember that you could not get on the site without it crashing.
That's when people started leaving. They found other forums and thought why the hell should i come back. Of all the forums i post on this one has to be the one filled with the most douchebags.
Although sinfix does have a point. The rules on this for sale site are here for a pretty good reason. Too many people have gotten ripped off, or they met up with a person and the thing was not as described so they bitched on ia. So in order to stop the bitching Rules were made!!
Although some rules i don't agree with. like posting vins. Unless your have cash in hand you are not seeing my vin.
another thing is when mods or "OGS" post for sale shit some rules don't apply.
But anyway talking about how the forum is going down is not going to change a damn thing. it's just gonna drive people away.
I like this forum and i really hope it doesn't die out.
