WOW, That is a great idea. I think it would be a good idea to use the fish bucks for IDA merchandise also. This is a really great idea to intrigue posting on the site and encourage lurkers to become members. Great Idea in-depth web staff! Nick
so, lets say one is new to forum or is low on fish bucks orbhas no fish bucks how does one pay for classified or can they even do a classifield of sort ??

That is odd. It may have been caused by me? I was working on the script that adds posts to the database. I'm putting in the option for blocking users from earning fish bucks, if needed.
I'll get your bucks restored shortly. Thanks for letting me know.

I'd thought about putting a boat for sale on the classifieds- - BUT- -since you mentioned using Paypal, I'll be holding off. I have issues with Paypal in that they are not firearm/hunter/shooter friendly. I quit doing business with them on Google because of this attitude. I'm glad you brought that up. jerr

The only problem I see with the system is that the guy who posts an informative note with actual value gets 2 cents. But the goofball (like me) who does this gets 2 cents too. I like the idea though! whoops

I think you should screw the pymt. thing on the classifieds and charge an annual membersship fee,just to be able to post,say $10.00 per year and just get rid of the classified Head Ache. I would be more than willing to pay $10.00 A Year for all of the info and the laughs I get off this site,plus be able to have a free classified add once in awhile,without having to mess with fish bucks and pay pal.
dd- - I've been lurking long enough to see what kind of a goofball you really are. Guys like you make guys like me realize how little I really have to bring to the table. I have no problem with the system, just some of the parties involved. . . jerr

I wish there were more payment handlers out there that are as flexible as paypal. I can't say that I have ever had any problems with paypal but I have heard of others who have. I think things got better after Ebay purchased paypal.
As it is though you don't have to be a member of paypal to use their system to make a purchase. It is only more convenient if you do have a paypal acount.

C'mon jerr! You got plenty to bring to the table. And I know I get way more out of the site than I bring to it.
First of all: I can't post pics because I got a crappy dial-up system that I can't bear to update (that means I'm not paying for it ) Second: I don't get out much compared to a lot of the guys here. And Third: Much of my "knowledge" that I spout here I got here in the last three years. And finally: There are all sorts of topics that come up that I don't have a clue about; but you or somebody else might. Everybody has got a spot at the table. Just some of us are louder than the others........ I think I beat that pretty much to death... Later sir!

Quote: The site is based around fishing, not auctions. Some people only come here to post classified ads and do not contribute much else. With the current system, regular members who show up, contribute, interact and have fun will be rewarded with fish bucks to purchase their ads, virtually for free. Those who only want to come here to sell their stuff can still purchase ad packs to do so.

Fish Bucks are somewhat like the Euro except on a larger scale. Fish Bucks are universal. The only problem you may have is convincing the teller to accept them at the checkout. But regardless, we'll always accept them here. LoL

A membership fee charged to post here on the site would kill this site, its traffic and growth as quickly as anything that I could possible think up. MAny sites have tried it. To my knowledge any hunting or fishing site that has tried has been reduced to a shadow of its former self in a couple months.
IF you post here frequently and rack up some fish bucks "buying" an ad with those fish bucks is quick and painless and does not involve paypal in any way.
Try it... I'm pretty sure it will be a painless experience.
