Okay. This exercise was probably a waste of time but the intention is to direct discussion of www.freecycle.org to this thread. My opinion of the service is low. I am surprised it hasn't come up before. Apparently, everyone in the United States needs a pickup truck for this to work.

I thought you were going to lash out at freestylah for abusing whores in the wrong forum. That act may be almost as relevant and probably more socially relevant. sorry
Go ahead.

I'd never deny being crazy, but I'll always request a jury of my peers to decide.
Bishop if it makes you feel any better I bet Malice is pissed about this thread because it shows the moderators he has in place are about as worthless as tits on a boar, and he has to explain that to Jeff.

Origin of this thread starts with me bitching about Freecycle HERE.
As a long time fan of the free section on Craigslist (both giving and getting), I decided to try Freecycle. NEVER AGAIN.
You have to be a member to even view the free stuff. Like used Nissan Maxima spare door handles are that highly coveted. Now because you just became a member, your email will be flooded for life. Never mind selecting the 'do not email me' option at the bottom. I had to contact a moderator 3 TIMES to be removed despite her ok the first time.
Horrible navigation. Even clicking on the items of interest to view further details is a wild goose chase. And forget about posting.
People on Freecycle are dumber than people on Craigslist. What part of stop asking me a zillion questions, it's FREE do you not understand? And why are you texting me? I'm a stranger. We're kinda sorta doing business. I'm not your college buddy. Why are you asking me what area the item is in if the ad clearly says Chatsworth (my storage unit). Why are you telling me in great detail WHY you need the item? This isn't a contest. It's FREE. You want the item...I need to ditch it...let's make it happen.

Just learned of an alternative, www.goodnewsforpolarbears.org. I haven't tried it, though.

^^^ Thanks. Their forum says that Goodwill recycles electronic waste. Dump your old phones and computers there, gang.

Time to set up a hotmail or yahoo mail account for those signup and follow-on emails. You can usually forward them to somewhere else (like your real email account) for the duration of your posting so you get any responses, and then cancel the forwarding afterwards if you like.
Or, if you already have hosting somewhere, create an email address (forwarded to your main email address) for each site you join. It just takes a second, and lets you turn them on or off as desired down the road. It also lets you see without a doubt who is spamming you, when you see emails coming in addressed to "freecycle@giajordan.com".
Saves your normal account getting spammed forever.
