    That is correct, sir. These rules should clean up a lot of what's going on in the other thread.

    I like the new rules - but then I am a donating member... Just adds another reason why some might want to donate to HF. If you're not a donating member what is the harm in a little encouragement to shell out as little as $10 per year to help support this fine online community?

    Two suggestions that might help the thread IMO: one - encourage people to increase the value of the PIF item. The other thread has a number of folks that claim a jam up good item and then PIF w/ something of a much lower value. I think that certainly stalls the thread. Your rule that you can't claim a new PIF until your previous PIF is claimed may help this issue.

    The other suggestion: maybe the mods should move this to the donating members section to prevent confusion. Its in the for sale section now but really we aren't selling or trading we are giving things away. Maybe put it in the "round table off-topic section"...

    Hi GvilleDave, what other rule would you suggest to get people to increase the value of the PIF item?

    Cannibal knows what's going on so we'll see what he says about it. It may get moved or closed, I honestly don't know. Hopefully they just move it instead of closing it.

    I'm a donating member. I have received and paid a number of PIFs.

    I will not participate in a Pay It Forward process that mandates rules. To me, it violates the principles of the entire process.

    If it really requires all these rules, then it is no longer fun for me.

    Just my .02, YMMV, HYYH.

    im glad we are having this. I was a little upset with the old thread lately. some people have claimed multiples without posting a reply.
    Dale Gribble: I'm thinking, "new hammock." For me, laying and swaying in a hammock is like a steady morphine drip without the risk of renal failure.

    Randy : yea but just remember yer roots and where ya come from....you got Hennessy in yer blood son......

    RoundTrip......Here are the rules for the other one ,rule 3 is the exact same as saying these rules can't change. It's not that the other PIF didn't mandate rules, it's that nobody payed any attention to them in the first place and that's why the other thread is the way it is. It's your choice not to participate, I respect you opinion just as I do anybody else's around here. I didn't know it was gonna be so complicated to do something good! Geez

    1. The item offered below is free but you must pay shipping
    2. You must also "Pay it Forward" by posting something free (must be worth the cost of shipping).
    3. Your "Pay it Forward" offer must come with the same terms as this one.
    4. Your "Pay it Forward" buyer must also post their own "Pay it Forward" item.
    5. 1st to post they want it gets it. Include your Zip to figure shipping
    6. Your "Pay it Forward" buyer must also require the next buyer to post their own "Pay it Forward" item (copy and paste these rules into your PIF post).

    I agree - there were a few times when I saw individuals claiming two seperate PIF items in a row.

    For those that want a free for all / make your own rules thread the other PIF is still in effect so this thread won't change or effect the way that one works at all. If enough people don't like this thread and don't participate then it will fizzle and die but my guess is more will like the set rules of this thread and as a result this one will grow.

    No worries, just my opinion. Rules won't make the people who didn't pif in turn act like better people.

    Anyway good on ya for trying but no good deed goes unpunished.
