'User For Sale'?

#1 Post by BigWarpGuy » Wed Apr 12, 2006 12:41 pm

Can the 'user for sale.. ' part be changed to 'used for sale...'. It sounds like they are selling the user and not the comuter stuff. :lol:

I am against selling people. Anyway, even the "for sale" part isn't 100% correct, because not all posts are for selling things, but instead are of the "WTB" or the "WTT" types. Perhaps "Marketplace" would be more appropriate?

I am fully in support of selling users off to other forums and/or people, lest we have to deal with too many of them. Extra source of income and other things...

[censored], and this is right after I was getting ready to sell a couple of spare users I have stuffed in my closet in exchange for maybe a higher up model, preferably a female version. I guess not everything is to be literal.

In the same thoughtpath of bigwarpguy, just after much regurgitation, the title "Marketplace - Users only" could be taken by someone really really bored and/or really dumb to mean a marketplace specializing only in selling users. I think the best solution for the issue is to laugh it off with some cheap jokes and forget about it.
