New Classifieds & New Policies

[va87]

I have updated the classifieds with our latest version and changed some pretty major policies.

Georgia Only

No more national classifieds! I’ve thought about it for a long time and decided that The Outdoors Trader just isn’t a national site, it’s a Georgia site, so starting today we’re no longer allowing listings from outside Georgia unless they are labeled as “Ship or Transfer.”

New Sub Categories

We now have sub-category buttons within each forum, it should appear at the top of the page. If I’ve forgotten any that you think should be added please post in here and I’ll consider it.

The new sub-categories will only work on new ads.

We have also lost the Class 3 category, and instead we have a Class 3 sub-category in each section. Now suppressors will be in accessories, sbr’s will be in rifles, etc.

New Structure

I've simplified the structure of the classifieds so it should be easier to navigate. Any categories that were removed will now be a sub-category so don't worry. You should be able to get to any classifieds forum from the front page by using the little dropdown next to each category in the classifieds section. (Or just hit the classifieds tab at the top)

Steals & Deals and Dealer Listings

Starting today, all dealers will need to follow our new dealer rules, which are as follows:

Firearms and firearms accessory dealers are allowed to post one ad per day in the “Steals & Deals” area. This can be a listing for one gun or several, but whatever is listed in the ad can’t be listed again for 7 days.

Community Service Section

I reorganized the classifieds and decided to separate out a few forums into a new area called “Community Service.” It has the good will forum, the business directory, events & meet-ups, etc.

THANK YOU Steve!
You do an OUTSTANDING JOB here with this site. It is a true and real service to the gun owners and enthusiast of Georgia. Carry on!!

I like the updates/ changes! Area highlighters are COOL, I may protest being in the same neighborhood as @SafeCracka
I agree with the National ads need shipping!
Would it be too much to ask to make us the Georgia / Australia trader?
Asking for 2 friends.

Thanks for that @payneed but the way I figure it, as I will ship it should not be a problem?

I like it. The only thing I'll miss is the Class III category. I really liked browsing through this specific category knowing it was all Class III related so I didn't have to filter through all the other "firearms chat" threads; any chance you would consider leaving this up along with the subcategories?

I like that the national classifieds are out unless they ship. The color banners is well done too.

Keep up the good work Okuma

Is there a way to subscribe to a sub forum?


Like just the revolver section, like I used to be?

i really like these changes! it may take a little while to get the categories filled with ads in the new format, but once they are all categorized it will be really nice.
