For those confused about the changes to the PX, let me clarify a few things.
1. You don't need a subscription to use the site.
A. You only need the Subscription to start a New Post i the PX
2. You get access to the Training Videos
3. You can cancel anytime via your own account.
A. If you decide to sell, sign up
B. Once you sell, cancel it
The amount of movement in the PX is staggering. For YEARS I have been saying the PX is our biggest headache on the site. Who sold what to who and what condition was it in. He said it was New, I saw a mark.
He took 3 days to ship it when he said he shipped it the same day
I said, "I'll take it first".
We negotiated for 3 days and he made me jump through hoops and then sold it to his buddy.
Scammers ...
At one point recently after changing some of the access from Full Member to Supporter the Reports went from a 5 a day cycle to a 25 a day cycle, the amount of work to herd the Cool Cats on the board is not easy. We are trying to decide the winners and losers of a He Said, She Said debate.
New Stuff is on the way, we have invested heavily in the website over the last year +. In fact, I poured a metric of money back into the site to try and make it a better experience*.
* The Hack Attempts notwithstanding that have been constant since the election. We have been getting pounded by hack attempts and denial of service attacks. They have tried complaining about YOU the members to take us offline. We had to move our backup servers to a RED STATE. My guys are pulling their hair out. We just added an extra layer of security to combat the Resource Error.
The Resource Error page is a default page and not a true representation of the Site's Actual Resources. We have plenty of resources, they have set up bots to Reduce our Resources and ruin your experience. They are hitting us every hour with DDoS attacks. This is by design, and we have to throw whatever we can at them, as it's easier for them than it is for us.
You, Me, this website is on their radar, our traffic and Freedom to speak our mind is a threat to them. Hence the attempts to ruin the place and make it harder to use. Even the mainstream media has highlighted your posts several times in the last few years, even months. Daily Beast recently mentioned the site. That opens the doors for more attacks as they are saying to their Minions, this place goes against our liberal ideals so do your thing.
The amount of gear that passed through this site can not be quantified, I never took a dime from members for 20 years. I don't blow you up with pop-ups and ads, I try to keep the experience positive. I run the site in a way I would visit if I didn't own it. If I would do it for something else, I would consider it for here. I think the software and changes have reached a point, the traffic has reached a point that having it pay for itself is not too much ask. Capitalism right... I built it, you can, so now we work the job which was created around that.
Firearms are at a premium right now, stocks are low, demand is high, add $20 to your ad and I doubt anyone would notice. Unless it's a box of ammo, people would notice that increase.
I get it, but I appreciate it, and just no, with my personal changes taking place, the mindset is still full steam ahead. We are positioning ourselves for even more, and what that more comes, it will be included with supporter accounts, we won't nickel and dime down the road. We just need to cover all this work and the maintenance it requires.
