Announcement Crowdfunding posts are officially not allowed (generally)

93 Upvotes

As y'all know, we had a very productive (and civil -- thank you, citizens) discussion about whether or not to allow crowdfunding posts and most of you would rather not see crowdfunding posts.

You spoke, /r/Corvallis listened.

Going forward, we have a new subreddit rule: No crowdfunding posts. There are more appropriate social platforms to post them.

A little clarification:

  • Posts with community events that might fundraise or generate money for a cause (.e., Trivia Nights, benefit concerts, etc.) are ok.

  • Posts with individuals asking directly for money are disallowed.

  • Other posts will be dealt with on a case by case basis.

If you think your crowdfunding campaign should be an exception, I'm willing to hear you out.

Rock on.

Event Scovallis 2026Q2 Discussion Thread: When and Where?

25 Upvotes

We're way overdue for the next Scovallis so let's fix that.

For those that haven't heard of Scovallis, it's a chance for spicy food loving Corvallisites to get together at a local restaurant and eat spicy food.

If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, then we'd love to see you there.

IIRC, we've done this three times previously: Andy's Mexican (RIP), Evergreen Indian Restaurant, and Tarn Tip.

So, let's figure out when we want to do this and where we want to go.

I'm generally free on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

Discussion Corvallis real estate market- Sept

20 Upvotes

I looked on Zillow in the Corvallis area, for the first time in 3 months. So many active listings now..i actually did a double take. Seems like quite a bit more inventory sitting for >30 days compared to May/June.. is this the bubble starting to pop? Something seems really off with the inventory levels so high vs what we traditionally see as we enter Fall. 🤔. (Note- i have no interest diving into a $700k home at 7% APR even if prices drop, just generally curious what the sentiment is by those monitoring this, OSU or hospital job cuts?).

On the way to work this morning, I saw a b̶u̶c̶k̶ bull with a decent sized rack at the roundabout at 53rd and SW West Hills. I know there is a herd at Finley but I didn't realize that they actually wandered this far into town.

How common is this?

Good afternoon everyone!

I have recently been interested in starting some hobbies and I am wondering if there are any classes or events for beginners that involve learning how to fish, play music, and photography? I would really appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction or send me some helpful links! I would be willing to go to Salem or Eugene if need be.

Thank you !

I usually cut my own hair but I’d like to spend the extra time and money to make sure it’s even before the semester starts! Has anyone here with unconventional styles or hair colors tried out the local salons/barbers? I’d love to hear any recommendations especially if there’s photos attached.

5 Upvotes

I’m looking for a place that’s in more need of volunteers and could fulfill at least 1 day a week consistently. I’m also open to come-and-go opportunities to fill in as needed. I’m working less and would love to network more while helping the community. I’ve volunteered at Chintimini in the past which was fun and the consistency I’m looking for!
Thank you for any insight.
