I guess it's worth giving it another go around.
We need to contact karode, Mostly and naum to see if they would allow us to start a stickie thread or something like that in EBG.
We wouldn't turn down others that don't spend a lot of time in EG but being in here I really think it would be a lot better and more reliable.
Does everyone have my back?

The main issue I remember with the free seed thread is it would die from someone taking advantage of an the last ^^^^ and offer crappy/generic/cheap seeds. Here in the garden it may work as I'm sure people may even want veg/flower/uncommon seeds and not just actives.

Ok. So we have a lot of interest and support. We just need approval and we can start.
Naum, what say you? Can we have a stickied "Free Seed Thread?"

I'm not really keen on the idea of having a trading thread in this forum. There's already a marketplace where anybody can set up a trading thread with stipulations, regulations and all that. This forum is about information, not trading.
I don't know what the other mods think about this so I'll let them chime in with their thoughts. I'm not totally opposed but you'll need a decent argument to convince me. What's been proposed isn't enough. All of that can be done in the marketplace.

I love the EG the way it is. After being here for so long I've learned to appreciate some of the rules and restrictions we have here to keep things smooth and in line.
Although I do believe a free seed or trade thread would be a nice thing to have if it was restricted to the EBG community "bypassing all the bullshit of the marketplace" I'm not a good with debates and the ways I express my views are far from eliquate enough to persuade karode so I'm gonna leave it for someone else to attempt.
Good luck to who ever's brave enough to try

This pretty much sums up my thoughts about this too. The marketplace is where this could/should be run, it already has rules/regulations and mods in place.
When this came up a few years ago, Cactusdan made some good points:

I needn't remind everyone the kind of posts we got in the "Salvia divinorum Live Plant Market"
One time posters registering to say "I want one!!!!!"
Although we can post all the rules we want at the top, the fact remains that noobs and older members alike can have a seeming disregard or aversion to them.
I think that trading threads should be kept in the trading arena, to reduce this, and moving it here is just catering to impatience to gain access to the marketplace.
Especially the last one.

After reading this I feel I have to agree. Sorry guys
If any of you would like you could easily start a thread in the MP and add rules as you'd like. It may work this time.
I'll back any of you if you decide to do this. I have a large seed collection so I'll pop in here and there to add something interesting.
