Title: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: ZcHuer on Thu, 19 July 2012, 04:35:50: Glad to have GeekHack back! But I sadly notice that the group buy board is lost...
Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: mm87 on Thu, 19 July 2012, 05:11:16: Looks like you need to have enough posts to see it, not sure how many.
Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: Glissant on Thu, 19 July 2012, 06:58:31: Someone mentioned that you just need to make one post for it to show up. Not really sure what is going on there though. Just give the forum team a little time to sort out some of the kinks ;) .

Edit: Actually this is what mkawa said in the newbie forum

This is geekhack. We like keyboards, keycaps, making stuff, long walks on the beach, etc. Introduce yourself here, and then browse the rest of the non-commercial forums. Once you accumulate enough experience, you will automatically be allowed to view the commercial portion of the forums.

Thanks folks!

Post by: ambroise on Thu, 19 July 2012, 18:58:37: How many posts is considered enough?

What about time being a member or previous purchases? That should count for something.

Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: strafe on Fri, 20 July 2012, 00:19:36: I'm too much of a lurker to see the group buys. I have purchased a few things from group buys before, but generally stick to PM's and emails..

I guess i'll have to post some more photos :D. I fail at reading the captcha's, too :(

Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: qlutch on Fri, 20 July 2012, 18:03:57: Sucks that I can't see it even though I've participated in groupbuys before. Oh well, I guess I'll start posting.
Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?

Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: cinch on Sat, 21 July 2012, 17:35:56: posting here to get +1 post count...
Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: DrTrivial on Sun, 22 July 2012, 07:48:48: Oh I guess I am in the same boat. Trying to get one post closer to the nirvana known as group buys.
Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: DrTrivial on Sun, 22 July 2012, 07:52:53: I feel kind of dirty but this will take me to the 10th post. If I don't get to the promised group buy this time. I will give up.

Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: Zekeasakura on Sun, 22 July 2012, 10:07:06: Ah And so I thought I only need 1 post on the new forum. It's quite weird that I'm typing on a Poker from GH group buy and can't access the forum :D It's pretty bad for lurkers like me who don't speak English as their main language but there's no better way I guess.

Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: mathieuhv86 on Tue, 24 July 2012, 11:12:12: I was just lurking around and waiting checking regularly for something that would interest me. Now I'll have to post some less than constructive posts to reach the post count. Feels to me like this will just reduce the potential participants for group buys.
Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: Fear on Tue, 24 July 2012, 11:15:42: I'm feeling rather guilty spamming this thread... But I cant find any thread where i have something constructive to say and i really don't want to miss out on anything.
Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: mathieuhv86 on Tue, 24 July 2012, 11:31:09: I know what you mean
Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: mathieuhv86 on Tue, 24 July 2012, 11:34:51: I know be curious to see the post count average of the group buy participants
Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: Fear on Tue, 24 July 2012, 11:35:24: 10 - Back to lurking for a while for me. Sorry for the spam guys.

Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: Glissant on Tue, 24 July 2012, 16:28:02: 10 posts isn't a whole lot really. There is so much content and stuff going on that you can easily put a couple of posts up, and still stay lurking ;).
Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: Broadmonkey on Tue, 24 July 2012, 17:17:17: Good to know I only need 10 posts, to watch the groupbuys. Haven't got 10 posts yet, but the groupbuy I'm already participating in, I can follow on DT.
Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: Distilled on Wed, 25 July 2012, 02:02:40: Posting for numbers.

Although I think that being a member for a certain amount of time is a better filter for the market place.

Post by: kgleeson on Wed, 25 July 2012, 03:45:39: I had access to the GB forum last night and its gone now, have the requirements been changed?

we can't currently filter by join date, only post count.

the new permissions setup is that anyone can view the classifieds and gb forums, but you must be registered to post replies, and you must have over a reasonable and non-spammable number of posts to start new classifieds threads.
Title: Re: Where is the group buy board?
Post by: truongnd on Thu, 26 July 2012, 09:54:40: still try to reach the required posts

Thanks for letting those lurkers like me see the gb and classified forums.

I am a fan of the restrictions for posting new threads. This may help stop things like people buying clacks just to sell them and give those that missed out a better chance next time.
