Or the new stuff, should replace the old stuff, in the OP. No problem there.

Being a not-so-creative individual, if I want to bump my thread and have nothing interesting to say, I'll use that button rather than having a bunch of posts that say "bump" in a row. I don't mean to suggest that people not bump their threads, just suggesting something that would keep threads cleaner/more concise.

Edit: I'm all for people bumping threads with gifs and pictures and clever wordplay and whatnot. I'm just saying that if people dislike super long BST threads, it would be easy to shorten those threads where people just write "bump" every single day.

RULES:

--c) No manufacturers / direct sales of new pedals. You can post here if you're an active ILF member (50+ posts) offering a small-scale service (such as, if you mod a few pedals in your spare time, paint enclosures on a small scale, sew pillows, make paintings, etc...but not if you are using the B/S/T for a business, have a tied-in website, etc.

B/S/T is for used pedals. No sales of new pedals, new clones, or DIY pedals that are built by the user selling them.

Standard rule in most forums...because otherwise, the B/S/T gets clogged up with spam and ads. It's a place for private, person-to-person sales/trades of used pedals.

Builder spam is allowed on ILF, but goes in the Shark Tank. That way it's separate, so users don't have to wade through ads (and users can choose whether to see the ads by going to the Shark Tank, so it's not technically spam).

Also, ILF's B/S/T is a free service (unlike some forums). Builders who want to advertise can do so in the Shark Tank, and they chip in a little money to help cover ILF hosting costs. I think it's a fair system, and keeps things clearly organized.
