Many of you have visited the site for many years and entered hundreds of tips. I would like to make it as easy as possible for you to continue to do that and at the same time create a website where we all can have a lot of fun. <br /> <br />I majorly reorganized some of the areas and changed how some of the functionality works. <br /> <br />Now, if a tip is voted down by 5 members it is automatically removed. I removed anonymous posting to try and help keep the quality of the posts up. <br /> <br />Also, the forum will now be moderated. <br /> <br />Please email me directly, or post to the forums if you have any ideas that will help make gastips.com the best community gas website around. <br /> <br />In the coming months we still have some changes in store. <br /> <br />Chris <br />gastips.com http://www.gastips.com/Blog/5/welcome-to-the-new-gastipscom Wed, 20 Jul 2011 00:00:00 GMT GasTips Admin GasTips.Com Reputation System <p> Anyone can use gastips.com to see the latest prices in their city.
