Selling items in FI
We are losing some control of the FI forum. It is not Classifieds or Best Buys. If you put a ForSale or Must Sell in your Topic Title, it will be locked. Start your posts with some information. If people start asking questions and the topic of selling comes into it, that's OK. That always happens if there is interest in something new or unusual. If we allow for sale adds, this forum will lose it's integrity. Let's all make this policy work

Re: Selling items in FI (earl)
Earl and I both talked about this and agreed that we should do this. If you want to sell something, put it in classifieds and in your signature.

Re: Selling items in FI (Arturbo)
Just a thought, but maybe we could have a sticky at the top of the section for a time period, a month maybe, and everybody could post their ads only in their, and people could IM them if they are interested. it will make it more organized, and people looking for FI only car go to the sticky and find them. every month the post is deleted and another one is created for that month. just a thought, hopefully no flames

Re: Selling items in FI (AresB18C1Turbo)
-We will getting rid off all stickys too.
-If you dont pay or help HT, you are not allowed a sticky.
-Only the sponsors will be allowed stickys.
-No more group buys in here either. All must be done in the best buy forum.
-This wont be in full effect untill the 1st of the year.
We are still thinking of using a filter for some words because some people are getting out of control. The new guidelines will be posted in the notification on top by the avatar guidlines. If you have any other suggestions, please feel free to add some.

Re: Selling items in FI (earl)
Give us your ideas to make this forum better. We will ignore all but the very best.
I also like the MONTHLY sale ads thread but it looks like you guys wont have that...

About swearing, I cant go into each and every thread and edit stuff like that. I dont like to abuse my power like other mods do, well just sometimes. I dont like it when I open up a thread and people are bashing each other, its childish and stupid. Or should I say ******* stupid? LOL..

Re: Selling items in FI (ekb18c)
I don't really post that much, I just like to read and see what's new. I did however make a post recently to sell my LS head and other misc parts that go to it. I thought I would post it in the FI forum since the head was designed for FI and it was used on my turbo car. Why not give the FI LS guys a chance to scoop it up for a cheap price, well that was my thinking. I would be glad to donate money to the board if it I sell it to a H-T member. I enjoy the board and I get a lot out of it. I don't really enjoy the monthly sticky for sale post idea, because you have to read every post and sometimes multiple pages to see what's on there, but it would be a good way of cleaning things up. You could also ask that if the seller does sell his product through H-T forum that he donate 5-10% of the proceeds. It wouldn't be a ton of money, but could help out. I would gladly go for that idea and sell through this forum in the future if need be. Anyway that's my idea. Later Allen

Re: Selling items in FI (abraunb16)
How about having FI and NA classified sections seperate? That way either group wont have to sort through a bunch of stuff that they dont need or want.

Re: Selling items in FI (Arturbo)
Only if its held by a Honda-tech sponsor, like importparts.com blah, blah.... I think alot of people have made alot of money off of HT and hasnt given anything in return. You would be surprised how much sales people get because of us.

Re: Selling items in FI (DeepSi)
I'm glad you guys are finally going to do something about this. I don't advertise anything on here on purpose...this place is like a meat-market. It will be nice to seperate the Tech from the Sales crap. And yes, I do agree that only paying sponsors should get the space they deserve, not people who come on here out of nowhere, and think that they can advertise for free.

Re: Selling items in FI (DeepSi)
to arturbo oe earl or any moderator... i dislike searching the damn classified section... too much rice between all the f/i parts, i was wondering if you could make a sub category "forced induction - classifieds" just a thought..... another q for the mods.... why the hell doesnt h-t have picture uploading ability? if we got that, then thered be a lot more cool pics to access... just like bimmerforums, i think there is quite enough people on h-t to have this as an option, to upload your pics to h-t.... how much more money would that cost? who actually runs this whole site? i bet its not too expensive, and if the person in charge has a problem witht his because of money, let us know and we can start a paypal fund or something... everyone contribute a dollar and voila!... what do u guys think
