I guess I am in the minority here
It seems to me that every time Dan tries to do something nice for the JYD's we get an influx on new posters
These guys tend to post one or two word posts or nonsense just to hit 1,000 posts, then they get what they want and disappear
I do think that ideas like knife council, or priority shipping are good ideas, as is the ability to purchase certain swag items like JYD cards
I just don't want to see the JYD status turned into an advantage for re-sellers that are only interested in maximizing their profits from selling JYD variants
I thought this before and you said it! I agree 100% with you Bill!
I hate that one word posting! Sometimes it´s fun and it may have a certain purpose (other than gaining ones personal post count) but mainly it´s something I don´t like here!
I wasn´t pleased to see the mighty 1311 JYD´s only knife beeing sold to resellers.
Being a JYD is something I´m proud of. I really feel like being a part of the pack and the brotherhood. Once I had the honor to meet another JYD, Rasmus, and allthough it was a brief moment (one beer) it felt like we had a connection right away (despite of my lousy english).
I don´t have a solution to this "problem". Perhaps there is no problem, but now when I visit here more seldom than before it´s nicer to read something with meaning than just pages of words.
Though it´s always nice to see the familiar dogs here and feel like coming home.
Long live the brotherhood of the yard!
