    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm not quite sure why you are doing this? It is far easier to check the topics in the GS Links section, or the Buyer Review section, than it is to search through this thread of yours. Not trying to dis your efforts. It just seems like a waste of bandwidth.

That's what a lot of people have asked me about attempting to bring back a 22 year old bike when I live around the corner from a new bike dealership. :-D

Here are some reasons that I continue to post in this thread:
1) For my own reference and to share with any other GS-ers that find it beneficial.
2) The GS Links page hasn't been updated since 10/22/06 and doesn't have all of the vendors that appear in this thread.
3) We can share our opinions and experiences about vendors here.

If you're not in need of this thread, more power to ya. That means you must have or be finding everything you need elsewhere. I'm not quite as lucky (yet) and this is a convenient way for me to create a reference for myself and others who are so inclined.

As far as wasting bandwidth, well, I would suspect that it's actually space that is the resource most utilized for saving data. Bandwidth is only used for transmitting (posting) and receiving (viewing). I suspect that neither space nor bandwidth resources used by this thread are of any concern given some of the topics I've seen on this forum. :)

As far as I know, just about everything in this thread has appeared one or more times in GS Links and Buyer Reviews.

But if repetition wasn't allowed on the GSResources forums, it would be 1/10 the size. :) A lot of people won't bother to search back anyway.

There are two GS Links locations here: The forum and the page. In my last post I was referring to the page not being updated or all inclusive.

Of course, this thread is located in the GS Links forum, whose description is as follows: " GS Links
List the links to websites where you purchased itmes to keep your GS going."

As far as I can tell, that's what I'm doing.

As far as searching back goes, I try to do so as much as possible. However, the forum search tool is limited in that it only allows key word searches. Often the results are far too broad without the ability to search for phrases, thus, I certainly have probably duplicated the efforts of others.

As you said, repetition doesn't seem to be considered a bad thing here. Bottom line, if this helps out some other folks, great! If not, it's proving to be a handy resource for my project. Thanks!
 
I really wasn't trying to criticize for any duplication. That would be an endless task. :) And I should have said read back, instead of search back.

I certainly don't make any rules here, thank god.
