Weber collecting has grown big enough to attract professional scammers.
These scammers have already made attempts to scam several community members. Luckily the WKC members were savvy enough to smell the scam.
As of Feb 4, 2021 - The WKC forums are closed to NEW MEMBERSHIP.
There's currently a secret passphrase on the sign-up page, and only trusted members will be able to give access.

I'll be whittling down the WKC userbase. Any account with 0 posts is getting removed. Should have spoke up!
BUYING / SELLING / TRADING
It's time for these sections to go private. These sections will no longer be accessible to non-logged-in users.
I'll also be implementing a karma system that we can use to house a reputation system, both for posting and for buying/trading.
In the meantime - don't send money to anyone that someone on the WKC can vouch for.
Happy 2021. Watch your fingers.
