It's supposed to be a place for members of our community who engage can buy/sell stuff, it's for people who post, it was not created to make people post. Subtle difference.
Has the recent post count started to kill MM?

Did you leave the forum, i.e. tell mods you were going? I don't just mean stop logging in for a bit.
TBH I understand your point and we all did embarrassing stuff 20 years ago on the internet, so to speak... But you know what they say about putting things on the internet.

Exactly this. For some people, it's probably not worth it to sell privacy (or the right to freely delete posts in the future) for access to MM, hence the activities in MM might reduce.

It was a shock to see it disappear at first, as I had taken a break from perusing forums, but the requirement is super low, I think it's reasonable.
Members Market. A forum on here to buy/sell stuff that is hidden until you hit 1000 posts (General Discussion doesn't count) at which point you need to post a minimum amount every 90 days to retain access (General Discussion posts DO count)

Just make 5 posts a month, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. In 5 seperate threads, salted.
I logged back on after a few years to use the MM. Not only have I not got 1000 posts, it's also 3 months of posting. It does seem fair though.
There are a fair few profiteers (or were) hanging around forums. I was offered a GPU in response to a wanted thread. The GPU was bought from another forum and after a PM to the seller it turned out the GPU hadn't even arrived! The niche items are easy to find turning up on eBay.

Monster Munch. You need to post regularly to get a bag of the delicious snack.

I find it quite stressful to be honest.
Still, I can see I'm in the minority so won't complain.

Now that eBay has announced no fees for private sellers I think we will see another shift in MM usage. You can usually get more on eBay.

Ooh that's good news. Although I always preferred selling on places like this as I would hope there are fewer scammers!
I have a Ryzen 5600 sat in a box doing nothing but don't fancy Ebay as who knows what buyer I'll get, would rather even take the hit and sell to CEX.

While you probably can get more on eBay, I still always prefer MM.
You know that a transaction has a 99% chance of being smooth and safe and the goods you’re getting/selling will have been looked after properly.
Also I’d rather someone here get something cheap and use it rather than a trader, so as mentioned before, I more than welcome the “new” changes!
Hardly anyone uses eBay now for private sales when you can shift it on Facebook for nothing and someone gives you cash on collection.
Until they sort out forever defending the buyer, their use will never increase.

I'd still prefer to buy through MM if possible. I don't trust buying through Ebay as much as buying through MM. I've not bought extensive amounts but anything I have has always been a smooth transaction.

Yep, here and the other forum are always my first ports of calls (I have good feedback on both), then Facebook, then Gumtree, I never use Ebay for selling, and only buy if it is a very weird specific item I need that is <£50.
