My biggest issue with this website involves all the spam messages and ads showing up here, and the total lack of interest the moderators seem to have in banning and removing all the crap they're posting.

Dave, I went thru and banned those handful of members who have been generating spam. I also deleted the posts.
Please let me know if you see any which come up in the future. As I said unlike a social media site we don't get notifications of posts and moderate the old fashion way by manually scanning the posts.
Thanks

The GUU forum's technical platform is out dated and does not lend itself to the interactive experience that you can get on the modern social media sites like facebook and instagram. This is just one of the reasons why given it's current platform shortcomings GUF has lost is appeal. Not to say it was the primary reason but just one of many.

Then update the technical platform, as Ken said he was going to do when he he first took over this site. There are many of us not on social medial sites (facebook, instagram, etc.) and prefer forums like this. Just look at NET54. It's thriving, but it doesn't focus on game used as much as this site did. To be used solely for his auction contest is a waste of this site (except for Ken and those who participate in his auction contest). The excuses get old. But I think I get it now. Move on, it's not going to change. I now will accept that this site will never come back to what it was. Thanks! .
Regards, Tony

Sorry guys, didn’t mean to be so short
my point was This is an issue that is affected all forms not just this one over the years
if you look at traffic on all major forums they have been dramatically impacted by other social media was my point.
tech resources are currently taxed launching the goldin marketplace. In time would like to upgrade this site, and will. Look to do

My issue is sometimes you got someone says they are interested in a item, buy/trade or whatever. Then they start the excuses for not responding, and all. My experience has been they are not really interested, or trying to see if you are desperate to sell or something to give a lowball offer. This also puts doubt in my mind they will even complete a trade , like you send your item, and never see the offered item in trade. When I joined this site i was excited, but things just have slowed down, and then the things I just mentioned. Sad.
