That’s why I came to yoyoexpert. There’s no trade section. If you search up yogi in yyn, and you look under “sorry to everyone” you can see the reason I left. The whole forum is getting messed up blaming each other and either taking sides with the scammer (saying they know he will do better, and to not yell at him,) or they will be against the scammer ( yelling at him for stealing their identities, and scamming them.) Then the whole forum is with or against each other, and it becomes kinda mean. ---

Hi all my name is David, I have been around a lot of forums for many years but never a yoyo’ng forum. I used to be into pretty much computer games like runescape or linerider. I am a website design and developer and I have a newly found interest in yoyo’s. I just bought a velocity and I cant wait for it to come. So yeah thats me!
