:grinyes:Haha, Trust me I would if I could, but as of right now I dont have ANY fish let alone ones I would give to a good home. I am sorry if this is an inconvenience, I just thought this would be something that the AC community would be interested in. Also it would get clutter out of the classified section. So that way It can be a little more organized with plants in one place. Tanks in another, fish in another. You get the idea.
There we go!! Thats more like it!!
I guess this would be a bad time to say go Red Sox...... haha jk, thanks for starting it up!

Go Yankees! Whats wrong with you? The red sox are boring. Plus there liers. Manny got arrested in Seattle then tried to lie about his knee.
Manny's not a Red Sox. Manny is a 1 man team. There may be no "I" in team, but there is plenty of "me" in Manny. Wish we would ship him out to the bombers. Jeter would straighten him out ! And I'm a Sox fan !! Sorry BFK !!
Ok, is it just me or is this thread already confusing? The other "pay it forward" type of threads on other forums deal ONLY with the trading at hand and no idle chit chat taking space and distracting from the thread. Also, the others only deal with one trade at a time - which would be a LOT simpler.
The way it's done elsewhere: Person 1 offers the fish he/she is "giving" away for the cost of shipping, Person 2 is interested in that deal (no other deals are on the table at the time), so person 2 says "I would like that fish/those fish and here's what I'm offering". Shipping costs can either be charged by the person doing the trade, or if they don't have much to offer, they could throw in the shipping instead or more/better fish. Then Person 3 likes Person 2's deal and takes it and offers something in return.
Hope that will make things flow smoother on this thread. If it's going too slow, free (or reduced) shipping could be offered to speed things up, or another person can toss something into the current offer (separate shipping of course), but more fish would be added to the current offer and usually gets things moving faster. Constant bumping just makes the thread a zillion pages long with few offers and annoys folks who get email alerts each time something is posted to the thread. If it looks like it's going to go well, then the mods might want to make it a sticky if we don't fill it with useless chatter or bickering (the downfall and eventual shut down by the mods of most of the other forums attempts at this kind of thing).
Side note to MODS - IF there's a way to add the rating system that many other threads have for buying/selling, that would help keep folks honest so their feedback stays good. No need for comments IMHO, it can either be done or not...

I kind of have to disagree here. Those are the rules with the RAOK thread. However, with this, some people may have free fish to get rid of, but not want to take on someone else's unwanted fish or unwanted item. If the rules for this are the same as the rules for RAOK, why not just leave it to the RAOK thread?
