I've noticed a serious decline in new users all over the net on freebie trading forums. Not just here, but at FLR and A4F as well. FiPG seems to be getting hit the hardest. With so many users trading it seems next to impossible to call freebie trading worthwhile when the seller to buyer ratio is so low. Hopefully it will improve soon )

Maybe by join date yeah, but certainly not by TR, karma or posts, not anymore!

Also, I hope Michael Vick gets his head torn off this year.

I suppose it depends on what his definition of noob is. In this case it's presumably in trading.

TR, no, posts, yes. 132 posts is a pretty small amount, which of course means you have a small e-penis.

But, in other news...


GO COLTS

How many playoff games has Peyton Manning won? How many Superbowl rings does Peyton Manning have? Oh yeah, less than Tom Brady on both accounts. )

And this year with the addition of that moron Randy Moss, the Pats are already favorites to win the whole thing.

Moss is a cancer and will destroy that team.

I have to agree that Moss is a cancer, but I think Tom Brady will kick his ass into shape. If he doesn't, the Big B won't have any problem benching his ass, no matter how much he's worth.

You son of a #@&li! I'm am so jealous ) I tried getting tickets but couldn't afford the ridiculous prices I saw once it was sold out and people upped the price by about 60-70%. Not to mention that the NFL allows individual teams to rape their fans with the ticket prices. We need to go back to the days where players salaries weren't astronomical and therefore start seeing cheaper ticket prices.

So hot. I hadn't seen a single episode of 24 up until last month. Started with season 1 that my grandfather let me borrow. The next 3 weeks were nothing but watching 24 when I got home from work. All 5 seasons straight. Just waiting for this last one to finish up so I can watch them all on DVD in the same week)

Alisha, so hot.

So back to the topic at hand. Is it beneficial to be in a bunch of different trading forums to get more people to get your sites done?
I suppose it's kind of a catch 22 because you need to have TR to have people trade with you in the first place. I don't know what the future holds in here. I just want to get atleast one of my prizes! But you are right, I think the rash of new people joining may be on the decline. BOGUS!
I'll keep trying anyway shock

It's just one of those things where it's really busy for awhile and then there is the slow spell. Happens in all buisness -- it will pick up again soon. Just hang in there.

Oh and I can't wait to see who posts a crappy response to what I wrote. That's how it works in these particular "Off Topic" threads.

As for the newbie thing

Anyone with a really high post count is gonna say it depends on that and anyone with a high TR is gonna say it depends on that. So who cares!!

I think having the post count determine newbie status is dumb because not everyone can spend hours on the forum posting. There are actually other things in life people got to get done. I'll be called a newbie forever but who really frickin cares? I don't think it's much fun sitting on the computer and talking crap about everyone elses post -- but this seems to be the only way people with a high post count get the high numbers.

Sorry to be condemning but almost every post I open up under the "off Topic" subject seems to get a negative response from at least a few people. It also seems to be the same few people.

I know -- I'll get my count up by responding Hi how are you today to every post. There solved the problem -- I won't be a newbie anymore -- yeah for me -- my life will be complete.
