WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TRAD HISTORY/COLLECTING FORUM? DID I MISS SOMETHING HERE WHILE I WAS GONE?

It's been closed due to folks not following the guidelines.

Is it going to be reopened? One of my favorites!

Well isn't that a nice Sunday morning how do you do?

Dang, that was a really good forum. Thought I was going crazy when my browser history clearly shows it but asks for password now. Have been mostly a lurker here for a little while and never post.

I understand it will be back and some members have offered to help moderate.

SORTA LIKE WHEN I WAS STILL WORKING. ONE OR TWO MAKE A MISTAKE AND EVERYBODY PAYS. WHY CAN'T THEY JUST ADDRESS THE PROBLEM WITH THE ONES CAUSING IT. WHY DOES IT HAVE TO AFFECT EVERYONE??

Whatever the reasons, to simply close it down without warning, without any explanation whatsoever is extremely bad style!
Not to offend anyone (and be the next one to be banned), but that's my opinion.

Best to let this one go guys, let them work it out and it will be back better than ever. Just trust me, I'm speaking from experience. They had good reason and are not meaning to take away from the rest of us.

Guys we must remember that we are guests at this cyper campfire...The guys who provide this fire for us, expect us to respect the rules.  We must never forget that.  This place is a great escape for many of us...we would hate to see it go away...be patient and follow the rules...

May I take a moment before I lock this down to help you ALL understand a couple of points, Please

Last that I looked there were 21858 registered members @ Tradgang. There are about 75 OPEN FORUMS that need looked after. There are 12 moderators which breaks down to 1821.5 members per moderator. 6.25 Forums per moderator.
Now that is ONLY if each of us is on the site at the same time....ALL THE TIME.....All of the moderators have Jobs in addition to this moderating Tradgang....Why can't people just simply abide by the rules...When the speed limit is 55, why should we thing it's OK to try and do 70....Then SCREAM like a crushed cat when the road gets shut down after how many tickets ???.......

We try our very best to be as objective as possible...However there comes a time when there simply is no more objectivity....

Simply abide by the rules.... Use the PM function, moderator alert button. To get our attention rather than putting it on a public forum.
If we were to do a search with the search engine how many topics relating to this subject would we find....We're pulling them now..

 As a Moderator I Thank You for your time and Support
