Buy / Sell / Trade forum is closed

[Ron]

Dear visitors,

We are sorry to inform you that we have closed down the "Buy / Sell / Trade" forum.
Reason for this is that we, the moderators, don't agree with the commercial side of this sub-forum anymore.
This website started out as a **non-commercial** informative website for everyone to enjoy, not knowing we would have hundreds of visitors everyday.
We started this sub-forum as a service for all those who wanted to trade their music with other visitors, not knowing it would attract so many others who were trying to sell their stuff, adding their eBay links, posting their sales-lists.
As many of you know we did change the rules a little a few weeks ago, trying to rule out all those who were trying to sell their records 'eBay Style', not mentioning their price, leaving the readers to PM the sellers; Auctions behind the scene, so to speak.
The whole commercial aspect of this sub-forum lead us to this decision.
We know we will probably disappoint a lot of you with the closing of this forum. We will leave it open as a 'read only' forum for the time being.

Currently we are busy adjusting the forum rules as well. As for now we can inform you that we will delete all threads concerning personal sales/trades/wants. All eBay links will be deleted.

One more thing: We, the moderators, will not take part in any discussion concerning the closing down of the *Buy / Sell / Trade forum*. Let´s all just leave it as it is and move on. It´s not the end of the internet, really.
