Assuming it's OK to refer to some 'competition'...

I've registered over there but can't post - presumably because I need to validate the account via an email I've never had. Contacted them but nil response.

Is it that they don't want me, or is the admin just inefficient?

The forum is owned and run by one guy, Eddie Platts (the owner of Timefactors), so it'll simply be a case of waiting for him to accept your registration.

There are no other administrators or moderators, just him smile

I've been a member for some time now and I can't remember the joining process however it might be worth checking your "spam" folder, if you haven't already, just in case you've been sent an email with a link to complete the registration.

TZ banned me for simply asking how I can can post for sales earlier than 200 posts (as you can with other forums by providing evidence of feedback). The response instead of a simple 'no' included a load of name calling of my mother unnecessarily and abuse. I'm afraid I can't recommend that site.
Omega Forums is an excellent site - very friendly with tolerant admins and a friendly audience !!

TZ has had so many people joining up just to use the sales corner so they're probably generally fed up with it. You won't have been the first to ask so they've just gone from polite to short.

thats no excuse. It wasn't short thrift, the verbal abuse I received was downright unnecessary and I'd been on for over a year with more than 130 posts incl several purchases from members.

Think it took me 4 to 5 days to get registered.

Quite a few members are a bit “my precious” about sales corner and like to call themselves a “community”. Reality I think is quite a few people are keyboard warriors and love to talk-up their 5hitters and think all newcomers are there to steal their Stienharts etc...

Use for entertainment value only

Generally they're good guys over on TZ I've found, though I don't go on there so much these days.

I have dealt with some rather rude people and scenarios over there though in the past.

Eddie, I believe, has been on holiday but back today so hopefully you should hear something soon when he catches up.

Absolutely. I met some really nice helpful people and bought too. The admin had the problem which is a real shame because the content and input used to be great.

I have been a fair few years now and visit most days. I have bought and sold without a single problem many times. The long intro to SC is a must iIMHO as a lot of cash changes hands and it’s good to know it’s relatively safe selling and buying environment.

There are some on there who are up their own and others arse, but I tend to keep myself to myself and post accordingly, do that and you will be fine

I've got one of the early series one speedbirds.
Still looks the part - excellent for the money.

Left TZ as I was a member before the posting rule came in and I got shut out of SC and got the arse about it.
Thanks Eddie!
