Okay. I think one reason for no public giveaways is it can get out of hand. Deals fall through, people feel left out, and it can change things/mood/the feel of the Yard. That's just my opinion.
The Yard has lasted this long, the great way it is for a reason, and the way Dan, Coldone and Private Klink keep it going works.
I personally don't want it to be like other places, it's special, has it's own ways/rules and feel.
The people here are kind, smart and fun, they know their blades or learn to know them and soliciting in any form will change that. Again just my opinion.
