It may seem like I have been neglecting the site (ok I have , a bit …), but I have made a few changes that I just never actually announced.
First off I added a search feature which is quite quick and dirty, but works. I would like to extend this in future but don’t seem to be getting the time!
Secondly I have added a few conditions to new ads being placed. Why? Because the site was being filled with so much duplicate ads and irrelevant ads that I have had enough, so now any ad placed for an affiliate web site etc. will be de-activated and continued attempts by a user will lead to thier account being disabled and all their ads removed. The same goes for ads placed in the wrong category, or ads placed in multiple categories.
I also noticed a disturbing trend where people add thier email address in thier ad, this is a VERY BAD IDEA! The largest majority of the traffic to the site comes from search engines, which means that your information is indexable, which in turn means that anyone who writes a script to go through webpages and find email addresses can pick your address up and start spamming you. I added the contact form specifically so to avoid this, in addition I get cc’ed on the contact through the site, meaning that if someone finds a way to send spam through the site I can figure it out an block that too.

Pls can i hav any contact details 4 da green 383 chrysler dat ws advertised on ths site.thanks
Hi there, if you give me more info I could give you link to the ad, but as for giving the contact details, that’s a different story. If an ad is inactive I hide all the details so that the poster does not continue receiving emails and phone calls.
Sorry about that but check back on the site often, maybe someone else advertises one!
i am struggling to get hold of the people who advertise the tailgates. there is no contact details
Hello Kleina,
I think the ad you are referring to is from 2007, you cannot see the details because the ad is inactive, so maybe the tailgates have been sold?
Maybe you could try and place a wanted ad on the site and see if anyone contacts you.
