Why was my thread closed?

I think bumping a thread occasionally gives people a chance to see it that may not have been online the first day it was up. Many of the members here don't log-in everyday so they'll miss it when it gets buried. I'm not saying to bump it hourly, but I don't see a problem with bumping it 24 hours after you first listed it, then perhaps a few days or weeks after that.

For example, my E-maxx for sale thread generated only one PM the first time I put it up. I bumped it yesterday and four more people responded to it.

I think a separate section for the sale items would be ideal though so you wouldn't have to see them unless you wanted to.

I also agree that exposure would increase by taking it to other forums.

While I realize that allowing items for sale on this forum doesn't directly benefit Mike, selling items does free up the R/C budget allowing us to spend more money in his store. If I need the cash for one of his products, I can just sell an item on his forum. I hope the privilege continues so long as it's not abused and the transactions continue to be peaceful and productive.

Those are my thoughts anyway ...

(Wow, I just noticed that this was my 400th post in the three years I've been on here. I guess I don't have much to say very often. Good times. :-))
