While talking with Scott because we wanted to head off any possiblity of people just joining to sell parts, all new members will have limited access until they reach 10 posts and at that time they will have full privledges including selling parts.
We want this place to remain a place where Pinto people help other Pinto people so we all can enjoy our cars, not just to push parts.
Yes it is a small changes but hopefully it will help the site. Any thoughts or issues contact Scott, I am just the messenger.

Does this change make it to where they can't use the Shout box? I have a member that may not be able to use it! I'm not sure, for sure, though, I am still trying to figure that out. Just thought I'd ask since I found this post!
Thanks,
Kim

Really ? ? ?
again last night I was emailed, somone found my site and was asking for help, this happens from time to time. Seems he has a 1972 Sprint he's looking for information on value, asking price, where to sell, etc...
so of course the first thing I tell him is to join "this site" and post it for sale only to find out today that's not an option for him. He's not "Pinto People" but has something us "Pinto People" may be interested in.
so... in essence what is being said is... all you non-pinto people.... stay off this site... FordPinto.com members don't want thoes cars and parts you have stashed away.
I for one am thankful to all thoes non-pinto people who have "stuff" for sale. To me this helps us Pinto People when looking for cars, parts, etc...
guess I'll have to keep that in mind for the future... If I get contacted again I can't send the non-pinto people here... they are not welcome, the cars they have stashed away, parts left over from past projects, etc... not wanted here.
Really? ? ?
sorry this sounds harsh... I wanted it to... just so it would be considered how the non-pinto person that has something to sell... maybe something rare... something we would all be interested in buying... like a Sprint Pinto, a hot pants kit, A former race motor, etc... how would that non-pinto person feel if he tried to sell it here! where it should be!
anyhow... just my humble opinion...
lencost:
I wander how many good parts will end up in the trash because of this hurtle?
