Not everyone is in it for the profit, traders have to remember that people do this for a hobby, not a living, and if you can help your mates out so much the better

marco you are trading,,,, no matter what the genuine intentions are its still trading

problem is this site is run by a person who owns a business and also by a company who bought it for money

no matter what they are gonna want there own taxes paied

the choice is now gonna be either pay the cash and take the risk to run it as a business or dont

another alternative is to advertise where you can get them from,, as its non profit based anyway so cant see why you would have a issue and then you are recomending someone

just like the barra boxes are recomended by you

but tyres,, sorry but even a blind person can see that its being done for a bit of spare change, i still sort stuff out for other people for little or no money for somethings in another game, if i make cash from it then its business IMO

4 years aint a argument, if anything you should be glad you got away with it for 4 years not complaining about it

personally i couldnt care about what anyone sells on here, fair play to you for looking after us IMO, but the point you make profit is the difference between helping and working

I agree
But then you cant expect traders to pay for exactly the same as what Marco does for a Ł10 gold membership , hence why im not a trader on here anymore

What marco sells doesnt affect me but there are plenty on here who do and yet still do it day in day out all for Ł10 and yet im expected to pay Ł400
I do understand that the mods may miss one or 2 but look in the cossie parts for sale and cars for sale and you see the same user names all the time and when questioned they come out with some propper bullshit So its just easier for me to not bother on here any more that try to get my point over on posts like this

I don't see any problem with your original user name, Tony from T/S uses his full name as does Mark from mad.

Karl Norris couldn't have his full name. Seems like they pick and choose who can and can't.

Less of the !! I was using you as an example so wind it in a little

If your user name was changed for you and you ended up with your real name then there's no reason why Karl & Andy can't have theirs.

On a side note, now that Internet Brands own this site, what would happen if no gold members or traders renewed the subscription?
