Bartertown needs to make a social media push that will act as a dragnet to pull in all the disaffected Facebook buy/sell/trade folks who are getting screwed by scammers day in and day out. It's a damned epidemic and this site is the answer.
When The Pawn Hits The Conflicts He Thinks Like A King
What He Knows Throws The Blows When He Goes To The Fight
And He’ll Win The Whole Thing ‘Fore He Enters The Ring
There’s No Body To Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might
So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand
And Remember That Depth Is The Greatest Of Heights
And If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where To Land
And If You Fall It Won’t Matter, Cuz You’ll Know That You’re Right

I concur, plus I came to appreciate the fact that Bartertown is one of the few forums where you can file a backout report on dishonest traders. I'd also suggest updating some of the subforums by retiring ones not used anymore like painters for hire/needed as we no longer have advertisers to be able to do commissions for members on this site. Not saying it actually should be removed, just an example.
Couple of things to know when trading with me:

1. Lower rated users ships first (Me included). If you wish to receive payment first, you should ask before we make an agreement.

2. I accept Paypal and Venmo. I prefer to do transactions with the Goods and Service fee for both to ensure safety on my end and yours. Please do not send it as gift.

Other than that, I'm a easy going trader, so don't hesitate to make any offer, worst I can say is "No thanks".

Thread necromancy?

I've been in and out of this place for a long time. I donate to a few content creators I enjoy on Patreon already. I also occasionally throw a few bucks at Wikipedia when they ask.

This place has give a lot. If you asked me to contribute a little bit each month or on an occasional funding drive, it would happen. I bet a lot of people feel that way.

Unless I already missed the Patreon link somewhere. If I did, post it again and I'm off to sign up. :-D

I mean, honestly, if this site were modified so it was part message board and part discord, that would go a long way towards accessibility.
