Since we can't use pro-boards and craigslist, here's a temporary fix specifically for MIA commerce while we figure out a more permanent home. This one requires a reddit account though but its better than nothing at the moment. www.reddit.com/r/MIAcommerce/Here are the 10 commandments of /r/MIAcommerce:1) Please use the following formats in the subject lines. To list something for sale, use "WTS:" To list something you want to buy, use "WTB:" To list something you want to trade, use "WTT:" a combination WTT/WTS and WTT/WTB are acceptable. 2) Clearly list your MIA username in the thread so that we know who we are dealing with and it will also be a lot easier to send you a PM. Posting your feedback thread (if you have one) would be useful as well. 3) We are limited to only one thread per page. Once 48 hours passes, you can delete your thread and re-post it again (currently that is the only way to "bump" threads on reddit). You can also delete and re-post your thread if it has significantly changed (sold, new items added). 4) Don't downvote the threads. It's just a dick move. If you don't like the person, don't like their prices, just ignore it and move on. 5) MIA rules on grammar applies. It would be a benefit to you to follow this rule because if people have to work hard to understand what you are trying to say, I doubt they will do business with you. 6) Don't threadcrap. 7) This is more of a suggestion than a rule. Post a link on your MIA signature for more visibility. 8) As much as possible, on WTB & WTT threads, please include photos. It will only help you sell/trade your items faster. 9) Don't post any real-steel weapons and ammo. Accessories are fine. 10) Only IDIOTS believe that airsoft guns are real weapons.

10) Only IDIOTS believe that airsoft guns are real weapons. That link is so much win. Anyways I could help moderate the sub reddit. I would have to make a new account since I was perma-banned for my opinion on Gamergate and Zoey Quinn.

So far so good it seems. Thanks to those who made the move over. If you guys need the code for your commerce thread that was here on mia, pm knief or pagan and I'm sure they'll be able to get it to you.

Although it does require an account, reddit is pretty awesome for wasting time on random shit as well. It isn't the ideal method for commerce, but it should work.

I posted my sales thread, but it doesn't show up when you go there, no sure if I did something wrong or what.

If so, I sent you a message on reddit because I had to remove it due to it not meeting the requirements. Feel free to post another one but have a look at the other approved threads and try to match how they formatted theirs. EDIT: Nevermind. Found it. It should show up now.

Double post for rule update. Rule #3 has been modified. It used to read: The modification will allow you guys to change your threads after 48 hours instead of waiting until it hits the second page since we don't have that much activity yet. Keep in mind that on reddit, you are able to delete your own posts so you don't have to have one of the mods do it for you. Also keep in mind that you are able to edit the content of your posts but on reddit you cannot edit the subject line. It now reads: 3) We are limited to only one thread per page. Once 48 hours passes, you can delete your thread and re-post it again (currently that is the only way to "bump" threads on reddit). You can also delete and re-post your thread if it has significantly changed (sold, new items added). Also for those who are new to reddit, there is another place you can list your items if you want to have more exposure for the items you are selling: www.reddit.com/r/airsoftmarket/Before posting there though, pay attention to their rules. It is a litte more complicated and slightly stricter than the rules we have but its also a good place to buy and sell things.

Wts - Deleted by Mosin in accordance with ProBoards ToS - I don't check this often SCAR, You literally just posted a sale in a thread that is made to find a sales page off Proboards, as it now violates the Terms of Service. Take a warning.

For those who created the facebook section, is there a link for that? I'm sure that will come in handy for those who want to post there.
