I may be talking out of turn but I don't agree traders have to pay to advertise on here, I reckon it would bring more members if there was regular group buys and advice given out without people being worried about being banned. I mean they are a large atthraction to the site and they have to pay for the privilege.
I don't like Facebook but from what I see, there's plenty of traders selling on there FOC I assume.
It would encourage me to pay gold membership when I actually got something in return.
Shame all the forums are dead now.
