Back on topic, I'm of the mindset that, in this day and age, open is the best option for me (regarding the classies).
SO many options out there to buy and sell, I don't see the value in restricting what's available here. I'd
much rather buy from an ECF member than an arbitrary eBay seller, or from someone on LetItGo (etc).
I'd hope and expect that we'd all use some discretion, whether we're buying or selling, and anyone trying to rip people off probably wouldn't last very long as a member. We can be an "unruly" bunch when provoked, and sometimes not even just (when provoked).
Personally, I
love what they've done with the new classies, particularly combining everything into one thread, with colored labels for identification. From a UX perspective alone, I think it's a tremendous improvement. Coupled with the new "open" nature, I couldn't be more pleased.
I fully understand that my opinion is about as valuable as the horse I rode in on
*, but I just want to express my personal appreciation for the efforts.
To the ever-patient
@classwife , for constantly putting up with us, and to
@low_tar_neil, for carrying the messages, and of course to
@Oliver , for basically
everything. Any other mods who contributed too, obviously.
Thank you very, very much.
