Kinda like the thread about the overzealous Mods a while back.
It seems that all those opinions and recommendations for nothing. It seems that it all landed on deaf ears, but it was a good venting session, without repercussions. lol

I’m Not sure charging for ads is a good idea. I think you end up eliminating some of the “good deals” on the site. I’ve often listed things as a “feeler” and ended up selling or trading and everyone wins, however I have equally deleted many ads after a few days. probably wouldn’t have paid $1 to post a feeler. You may could set a limit of a fixed number classified post per user per day (1-2?) then charge when that threshold is met? If I were selling off large swaths of my collection I’d gladly pay a few dollars. This would also clean up the classifieds.
Last thought, I would probably pay a fixed fee per year ($7-10) but i use the site a lot, it would be a value to me. But I’ve purchased a lot of guns from new users who probably would be deterred by that. Maybe you could do your first 5 listings per year “free” and then have a “power user“ tier that you have to be a supporter of at least $10/annually?
What is the concern of opening up to outside advertising?

I love the idea of giving site supporters first crack at all new listings for 24 hours. That would bring in a good bit of revenue
And hell for life time supporters they should get the first 12 hours of all listings. Yearly get the second 12 hours
INB4 you do this, so that i can create a free version of this site very easily and drive all free users traffic there, just like what happened when GON started asking for paid and everyone came here....
I'm new here and just putting this out for there for you. You could charge supporters and give them dibs on the ads; you could charge to join the site. But, if you do, it would not then be ethical to ban paid supporters from the classified sections if you had banned them from religious and political forums.
