I didnt know you felt that way about his brother!
Kids in the hall - still one of the funniest series ive ever seen!

Wow
- How is it deemed an inappropriate thread? I have never read such a rule that would deem this inappropriate. Who decides? I have never seen a moderator determine similar threads inappropriate
- No special treatment was asked for, and certainly not demanded.
- $30 for anything at all in return can hardly be deemed a horrible offer. Hell, I'd give them away if there was someone who wanted them but couldn't/didn't want to give anything up for them. Read my original post. This was light-hearted, and there was the possibility that one of the people that I have given free games to in this community might give me a a game in exchange for this if it had value to them. I'm not a taker in this community, I'm active and I give.
- Bumping a thread after a day is not uncommon. I didn't keep bumping it over and over again, for days at a time. I gave it a day and tried again. This isn't bad etiquette. It's not even obnoxious or annoying. Not every in the community visits this site every day like I do.
- Calling my post egotistcal is an ad hominem attack, not asking someone to not back-seat moderate when that is what was done.

I'm done. I didn't intend to offend anybody. I just wanted to make some codes available to someone that might want them. I certainly don't want them. Sausages.

Blessed are the sausage-makers,
For they shall deraileth threads,
And driveth everyone round the bend.

Don't forget the HP makers either! Sausages just wouldnt have the high value in our lives that they do without a dollop of HP!

Giveaways are different - generosity of people on this forum. Trading is for self gain and there *is* a main thread for that and the OP has been pointed to that thread for people who are looking for Trades.

Lack of sausage will do that!

I know I said I was done, but I do want to defend this now because this categorization seems slightly off, so for others' sakes as well let me ask this.

So I'm not being generous by offering these codes? Or generosity is the determining factor as to what threads are allowed to be? There are 4 pages of trade threads on these forums. And I have never seen the classified thread before today, but I have seen other trade threads. So if someone wants to do a trade, which one has the higher chance of being seen? A separate thread, or the classified thread? Or one of the other trade threads?

I'd like to point out that I bump my own thread all the time and contrary to what my mother told me it hasn't made me go blind.

Classifieds. Thats where all the stuff about trading is - im not aware of the other ones you mentioned

made her lose the skeet surfing championships back in 95 though!

Another classic.

Sorry about hanging out in here doing this but I'm too tired to concentrate on playing a game and the Red Wings have the night off.

I usually browse the classifieds for stuff I want and make an offer via pm.

However, you are trying to trade away a very specific thing, for a game many may not play.
Basically you got ingame credit for a f2p game. Maybe better to goto that games forums, if they have one, and ask if anyone wants to trade for some gog.com games.

So I think your thread is appropriate, just the op wording seemed to steer it away is all, you have to shoot the so called "rapids" so your post don't get ate alive by forum nazis'.

you ran out of sausages didnt you!

If you use the search for "trade", you'll find four pages of threads. If someone has a trade and doesn't know what thread to use, search is the first thing they'll probably do. I was considering using one of the threads (mind you, I've never seen the classifieds thread, so I'm not sure how much good that one does and I come here daily), however I figured that with such an obscure title as Ghost Recon Online is (I had never heard of it until I got the codes), I would post it in its own thread. Also knowing that GOG has Tom Clancy titles, I figured this wouldn't be too bad of a location to find someone who might play the game.

That was my logic. It may be flawed, but hey, it's an online forum, not international diplomacy.
