Hey guys, as some of you may have noticed I opened up an Advertising section a few months back.

OldMiniBikes.com Advertising - Vintage Mini Bike Community. Forum, Photo Album, Projects and more

This is for people wishing to promote their products through OldMiniBikes - this includes PMing through the forum, and just general posting as well.

The classified ads section will remain free to those who are not treating it as a business, or alternative to eBay, but as a way to give other members of the forum and mini bike community a place to sell their parts without having to pay fees.

I didn't intend to have it this way.

Some people on here have sold thousands of dollars worth of parts, and think that $25 for a supporting membership is a problem. Now everyone who wishes to sell a product in an ongoing manner, will be required to purchase an advertising package.

Sorry for making it seem like I am begging for cash; cause I'm not. I just refuse to be taken advantage of and treated poorly.

So in closing, this has nothing to do with the Registered Member, or Supporting Members - Just the people who are using this forum and site to their advantage, and not acting properly.

Thanks,

Hent

Cool. Hope you can keep track of this. I like this site cuz I think we're a bunch of guys just trying to have some fun...and share our knowledge. Please don't let it become something too commercialized. That ALWAYS takes the fun out of it...and usually brings a bad element...
Just my opinion...
Thanks for all the hard work man!!!

I'm supportive of this Hent. You have a great thing going here and asking for a little support is certainly not out of line. I'll be signing up a supporting member, even though I'm not promoting a product. It the least I can do to help.

Thanks!

I like Pete's idea. What's wrong with a small percentage going to OldMiniBikes for the use of the site for such things? Might be more of a headache then Hent wants to deal with though. More work on his part keeping track of commissions and what not. Maybe try it on the honor system, make a sell, donate a small percent to the site for the use? Just thoughts while my coffee kicks in.
