ummm, sorry to say but you're wrong there.
I trade with PEOPLE, not sites. Many people trade based on traffic or productivity alone, I don't. A LOT of larger sites do this too. From the character that Slaw and his thug buddies have shownin this thread it looks like I made the right move in not trading with him. Threatening someone for a trade isn't all that smart in a small TGP world with limited real players in it.
If I don't know you and your references you mean shit to me and I'm not interested in trading with you.
When I started in this game I wanted a trade with Hardcore Junky, he said something to me I'll NEVER forget and I took it as INCREDIBLY VALUEABLE business advise from a VERY WIZE man. He said "We don't have much history" - Time fixed that.
I havnt' sceen anyone other than annomyous eastern europeans stand up for SLAW in the thread - that says something. Many of my friends have spoken KIND words in my favor. THANK YOU.
I know, and have MET in person 90% of all the sites I trade with. I don't really want to trade with ANYONE I havn't met. The 10% I havn't met IN PERSON yet I expect to meet in the next year or two and only havn't done so yet due to their schedules or mine. I know ALL the references of the people I deal with, SLAW wasn't able to provide me with any references that mattered to me. there's usually a reason for that.
