When are they going to unsticky PIF? It would be off the front page by mid afternoon and we could stop talkin bout it

 

The actual or perceived greed of the some greatly upsets the many?

Man I was gonna write something long but decided against it, dont really want to be condemned by a buch of people with a guilty conscience who would have thought I was talking about them.

 

Sad the tree is dying...again. More safeguards could have been used, like the one where you dont keep the claim if your offer wasnt taken, but Harvey had faith in people too much. No good deed goes unpunished, if you had the opportunity to change your offer but didnt and knew your offer was bad, you suck.

Pay It Forward, as NamesJay conceived it, had a different aim – it turned into what is now, but it was not meant to offer "valuable" things in the first place, just things you did not need.

 

They serve two different purposes, problem is PIF has become similar to the Giving Thread, but should not be, as it should just go with its initial intent, and if it stalls, it stalls, until someone offers something he does not need and restarts it.

It was not about value, while here value (by whatever means) is taken into account. They both have reasons for staying, but the section placement is debatable, although we should have the moderators' opinion, maybe?
