So I have some questions & thoughts on this part of the forum, not sure where I should put this thread, so I'm sticking it here. Serious questions/thoughts.

1. Why is it that the VAST majority of knives posted are MT & PT? Is it just because they are that popular? And a lot of them seem to be new, what, do people just impulse buy them to fondle once, and pass on? Weird.

2. I noticed that this fall at one point, minimum once a week, and sometimes more, there was a MT Stitch FS. But I haven't seen a single one in weeks now...

3. Maybe you care, maybe you don't, but if you can't be bothered to post even one photo of your knife, I pass automatically, even if it's something I'm interested in.

4. Why so many double posts in this section? Same guy, same knife, same time...Though, I noticed this has tapered off a little too, lately.

5. Why is it that everyone has such an aversion to chatter on their posts FS? I would welcome chatter, even if it's just "Nice, but can't afford" type comments.

6. Why is it that everyone has such an aversion to letting people know what it sold for? Being somewhat new, this is one of the main ways I have to tell what things are worth. Knives sometimes sell in minutes, so I never see the ad when it's active, and almost everyone either erases the price, or does the "$OLD" thing.

7. Where's the Guardian Tacticals? At one point, they were common this fall, now not at all. I'd be interested in a Recon 35 or bigger, black blade, Tanto, and no serrations. (No serrations are the only solid part there.)

8. And last and most frustrating, is IMGUR. At one point during the summer, out of the blue, it doesn't work for me any more. Goes to a black screen, and that's it. I wonder if my 2011 MAC has anything to do with it?

7 of the 8 items have nothing to do with BF, so not sure what the point iso_O. #4 has been happening all over the forum for a while...when the site slows down seems that people end up hitting post more than once cuz they don't see their post right away.
 
Why do 7 of the 8 have nothing to do with BF? I'm referring to the buy/sell section of BF...

This sub-forum is for "Technical Support, Suggestions, Feedback, and Customer Service", basically topics related to the functions and functioning of Bladeforums, and how the forum is run.

Several of your questions refer to the availability of certain knives, the selling preferences of individual members, and what might be an issue with your computer or how you are attempting to post pics. Non of which are really Bladeforums technical issues.

For questions regarding the availability of certain autos, or peoples purchasing habits of autos, you might find answers in the switchblade subforum.

For questions regarding how members conduct their sale threads, you might find answers in "The Good, Bad, & Ugly" sub-forum.
 
1. They seem to be the most popular

2. MT usually put out knives in fairly small batches

3. Your prerogative

4. If you see duplicates report them

5. It’s against the rules

6. Sellers/buyers prerogative. Also even if the prices were left you don’t know that’s what it actually sold for.

7. Who knows

8. See 7

Well, I wasn't sure where to put it, so I originally put it in the General category. It was moved here by a mod, apparently.

Maybe because it is "imgur" not "imjur"?
