Post by: Mike Christ on August 18, 2013, 09:52:47 AM The forum could only realistically sell newbie accounts, with the restrictions already removed, and at a price to discourage spammers. But I believe most people looking to buy accounts want reputable accounts, and I don't think it'd bide well if the forum started to seize accounts to sell them :P

Set creation date to late '11, insert 15 crap posts inside dead threads nobody will resurrect.Boom. $15.

I like it! Title: Re: If buying accounts is allowed, why doesn't the forum sell them?
