[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 647785, member: 15199"]As a whole, the membership is great. But a few haven't been. :pencil: Most of the "zapped" threads I can remember had money/value as the underlying factor and I have only seen a few. That, by itself, is not a reason to not give a try. What I am sure Peter and the rest must use for deciding, is the balance of time and efforts vs. effects ( good or bad) on the forum.

I am in favor of some sort of fee, although that can be determined later, whether it is a go or not. I don't want to raise a diversion, but I would like to see any coin in an auction with a beginning start of over $100, or in a classified over $100 be certified by one of the major TPG.
