New Forum Board?

I'd love to see a board specifically for trades and sales of items instead of in General. While I know that General is just that, general stuff, I think a Trade/Sale board would REALLY help many Glitches out that are looking for specific items. That way there, any of the other topics can go in General or Off Topic, and the trades and traders have their own board. Just a thought.

  • Go search the groups, I'm pretty sure they have ones dedicated for specific goods.

  • One advantage to joining a trading group is that you have an ingame chat line that you can talk to other players and arrange in-game trades.

  • There are several groups dedicated to trade. Some of them are very specific and others are just general.

  • And yet all those groups haven't even remotely reduced the number of sale/trade posts in the General forum.

    While Ayasta (hi!) phrased it as a benefit for the traders (and it certainly would be), the real benefit would be to the people that are trying to wade through the General forum for the things that aren't sales or trades.

  • +1

    It's great and all that there are trade oriented groups, but those groups tend not to see a lot of activity, and though I had joined the chats in-game in the past, they don't have much activity either.  

    Besides, as Karibean said, if those groups were effective and useful we wouldn't see the general forum flooded with sales and trade threads.

  • +1 to this idea. (Am currently of two minds if this should include reality, with the update coming and all, but seeing the house sale posts is equally irritating to me.)

  • I would love to see this. I'm less interested in cubimal/etc trading, and I see why people do it (there's not a great other place, since there's a lot of groups) but it does sorta take over General.

  • karibean knows what I meant. People aren't using the groups so much, and you can only be in so many groups. I'd just like to see the General forums less crowded with Trading/Selling offers, and get them a forum of their own.

  • +1 for the sorta marketplace idea.
    I look for anything else in the generals, and I would be lovely not having to wade thru trade posts.

  • Yep a market forum. Love it.

  • It's been suggested multiple times, and each time the consensus seems to be that most forum-dwellers like the idea. I'm not sure why it hasn't been done, but maybe the staff are working on other things right now that need fixing ASAP and, since the forum is functioning as intended, the request for a new subsection is simply lower on the To Do list at the moment. :)
