If you are very new to the forum, or have registered simply so you can post an ad, it will be deleted. Commerce opportunities are for establish forum members only, simply registering does not make you a member.

What makes you a member? Wanting to be part of this forum for more then just posting ads. Its pretty easy to tell the difference so we have placed some safe guards to help protect the forum from the elements that want to use us only the purpose of financial gain.

If you are a non member or a very new member and have a listing that you feel is of actual benefit to one or more of our members, contact me or another administrator and we [u]might[/u] allow it or we may tell you what it will take before you will be allowed to use this section.

This area was created at the request of members. Personal property ads only. Commercial ads are absolutely not allowed. You also should be aware that when one makes a sale through contacts (including behind the scenes using forum resources such as instant messages) on the Forestry Forum are requested to pay 5% commission of those sales to Forestry Forum support in exchange for use of those resources that made the sale possible. This is on the honor system. You can do that by contacting me with the link below
