This section of the forum is under much scrutiny by myself and the moderators. However as we move with the times we appreciate that much business is done by members of this forum through this very section, completely free of charge.

Personally I don't mind it staying that way, however some of the moderators have pointed out to me that quite a few people with an XT have joined the forum with the sole purpose of selling their bike or parts and then disappear once the sale is done.

That is plain rude.

This forum is financed by one person only, the free "airtime" you are all benefiting from, comprises of webspace providers monthly fees, vBulletin yearly support fees, and all the relentless yearly upgrades for patches and bug fixing patches which are obligatory from said software companies.

We have decided unanimously to allow write access to the For Sale section solely to XT Supporters, which means only XT Supporter can post an ad to sell their bikes or parts in the For Sale section, while anyone else can read them and therefore pm the "seller" if interested. This will not minimize their chances of a succesful sale.

Any for sale advertising by non XTSupporters posted in a sub forum other than the allowed For Sale area will be deleted so any cheeky attempts to circumvent, outwit, dodge, thwart or evade these rule will be removed.

That includes signature lines, and any similar mentions in a post or number of posts will be deleted and repeated attempts will be treated with the yellow / yellow / red card rule, i.e. 3 attempts = red card and it's a ban for a month.


Those who join the XT Supporter scheme will have full access to sell and exchange for a full year. Click this link to join: http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=1475

I think that's very fair. Even at �10 to join the fourum with free 'for sale' access, it's cheaper than Ebat, MoreCrap than News, or even the local paper.

Sounds fair to me, and like GULGO says still value for money.

Well I think that's reasonable too, even though I've only been a short lived member, I've had to move on...Not to say I won't stick my nose in here from time to time

I have noticed a gap in the new format/rule that I think needs clarifying Capt. If you wish to put in a wanted add is a donation or subcription required the same as if you were selling?

I agree its was a free ride in the classifieds and if it were me financing the site I would so the same. Again once I become a XT660 owner again, I will be renewing my subscription.

Temporary Ban
Dear andy352299

We have very few rules in our forum. One of which is that only XT Supporters can advertize sale items.

You have been warned twice, and disregarded both warning.

As a result from these action you will now be given a temporary 2 weeks ban.

If, after this ban you still don't comply with our request you will be given a permanent ban.

The best solution for you would be to join the XT Supporters, then you can buy and sell to your heart content. Either that or use eBay.

Thank you.
