I 100% AGREE WITH JOHN AND WILL HAPPILY REDUCE MY
FA OUTPUT TO NO MORE THAN 1 PER DAY AS I HAD
PREVIOUSLY STATED ON ALL POSTER FORUM
I WONDER WHO ELSE WILL AGREE THIS IS A COURTEOUS
USE OF THIS LIST AND EVERY OTHER ONE
that said. I will not however be drowned out by
someone else's ads, if the past & current atmosphere continues
so I guess I'm saying this is dependent on all dealers abiding by such rules
these forums exist as a courtesy and as a
community to all members, not just the few vocal
ones and certainly not intended for majority use
by dealers looking to do promotion.
I may be a dealer, but I am also a collector. I
plan on sharing some stuff I hadn't been able to
get to the past few years due to my workload.
With my new site and my new help I am once again
working on my collection and I have purchased
domains to showcase my Raymond Chandler and
Gambling Movie Posters collections which I will
be sharing with MoPo and APF and MPF and NSF others.
It was never my personal intention to use any
forum solely as a dealer, it's just been a time issue the past 3 years

I would like to see far less "For Sale" and
advertising posts - no more than one per day per
individual (and in my humble opinion even that
is overkill!). I know that this has been raised
many times before but I agree that the primary
purpose of the list should be for discussion about the hobby.

Subject: [MOPO] Our 19th Birthday - is it dead ?
I have said this before but I will say this
again
.I believe a discussion forum like Mopo
and any other forum should be about sharing
ideas, thoughts and comments about what we have
in common, a love of the poster industry (sounds
nice and warm doesnt it).It is hard to make
money from it but we stick at it mainly because
we love the hobby so much, often we have long
suffering partners in the back ground who either
want to divorce us / have done so or have taken up Candy Crush.
The forum should not be about subtle jibes at
each other or any sort of bragging in any sort
of form, people just get tired of hearing that
and the atmosphere just becomes dead and it
does the messenger no favours. At the end of the
day , it does not matter if you are the gorilla
in the room or the smallest dealer, the product
you sell with the service you provide speaks
volumes. The last posting that I thought really
lived up to the spirit of what I thought a
discussion board should be like was when
everyone chipped in and commented about what a
poster website could and should be like if you
were to build one. This topic even then went
into sub topics that many continued to comment
on i.e. Freight issues a topic that we all have
to deal with as well. Sure it is good to let
everyone know what you have for sale, but what
about providing advice. I think if you did a
survey on how many public posts were done in
that spirit you would find not a lot. Maybe we
are all to guarded and dont want to give too
much away fair enough. But I believe currently
we should try to post in a less bragging /
jibing fashion and a more helpful commentary
fashion when asked to or maybe we should be game and start asking.
If anybody has any thoughts Im keen to hear
Regards
Ben
