big if true: users are limited to 2 ads unless they pay for an outside+ subscription.

Tried to pull a sneaky on us and didn't announce a thing, but it looks like this is the case. I pretty much only go to PB for the ads and click through the front page on my way there. Looks like they want me to use facebook and craigslist more often!

Gosh I hadn't been there in ages.

Didn't they already have a limit that they put in years ago?

I don't pay for it, but I have an Outside+ subscription, which I think got slipped in via the legacy trailforks $1 month deal or whatever? Might be worth looking into other vectors, if thats possible.

The used market on there has slipped over the last while anyways. Lots of stores have started posting crap, which kind of ruins it (though at least PB put a filter in for that).

I've had a few things for sale for a long time with no bites. Probably low viewership?

It sucks that most buy sell crap has moved to facebook, as that requires having a facebook account.

I would argue that Pinkbike killed Pinkbike by letting Pinkbike users post on Pinkbike.

Sure, kill one of the prime drivers of users to your site.
Are you trying to make it fail?
Sure looks like if from the outside. (ha, i crack me up )
