When I try to post I get the "message will be vetted by a moderator etc..."
None of my for sale ads have been posted, even though I submitted one on Thursday last week and one this morning...unless I have missed them in the forum somewhere...;-)

Hmmmmmm, never seen that message before. For sale ads do sometimes take a while to appear, try putting a message on here with the title '@ Koi'. Alternatively drop him an email, although you may have to wait for a reply, he's a busy guy!
What you pay for - the time and effort taken by Koi and Lucky to run this forum. When the forum suffered major problems Koi had to dip into his own pocket to keep the forum running and I don't just mean a few measly quid.
When he moved to a more reliable server that server charged a lot more than the previous one. A lot of the members were more than happy to pay the extra in subs to keep the site running smoothly.
It clearly states at the top of each for sale section that a charge will be made. £6.50 to sell a Surf and £3.00 for parts, where you can list as many parts, in as big an ad, as you like, no restrictions.
I'm a member of other forums and they all make a charge for ads. Mind you I know of some that don't. Thing is I've sold a few parts on here and the ad runs indefinitely so it's worth the money.
Just answering your question mate, the reply is not meant as a personal dig at you.
Think of the traffic this site gets. Hosting isn't free. Koi and Lucky were something like £1500 out of pocket each until subs went up to £15 I believe.
I'm not being provocative here, but you dont *have* to pay the subs (though it does help the site stay alive and active).

I just think that ads should be free to people that pay the subs...non paying sellers should pay the fee.
