The Freebies forum is getting cluttered up with a lot of posts for things that aren't actually free. Having non-free stuff in the freebies forum is somewhat confusing and counter-intuitive to many people, also. I think that it would be a good idea to create a new BST forum called 'Cheapies' for the $5 and under stuff, and use Freebies for the stuff that is actually free. Note that I did a search on this subject and couldn't find any mention of it in the suggestions forum. No doubt someone will tell me that it has been suggested before, though, in which case consider this a vote for the idea.
What would be the point of that? It would just be the same forum, with the same problems, but with a different name. Having a Freebies forum that actually contains free stuff allows people to post free sponsored web templates and similar sponsor-ware and other freebies, without them getting mixed in with the paid stuff. Having a Cheapies forum allows people to post up their low cost stuff without having to deal with people who only want stuff that is completely free. As it is now, it's just a dogs breakfast.
Cheap Crap sounds good. because that is what it basically is. I don't think anyone ever made 5k a Day from paying $4.99 for a E-book. So Cheap Crap fits the description of that section.
The name has always seemed to cause confusion. I remember reading thread after thread here of people asking why their thread was moved to freebies when they were still charging something. Cheap Crap with a Freebies subcategory?
I 100% agree with Bill_Stanbrook Actually I have another suggestion. I think there should be a separate section for FREE WORDPRESS THEMES. Because 70% of freebies section is filled or spamed or bombered with this crap. Why dont you make a new section with the name CHEAP SERVICES or CHEAPIES?? Everything from 1$ to 5 $ will be listed here. Plus freebies should contain only free stuff.
Or maybe there should be a $10 listing fee. That should cut down both the freebies and duplicate BST posts.
Really wouldn't matter because it would make a breeding Ground for Scammers and Spammers that would just use stolen CC's to gain spots that some legit sellers can't afford.
...and then people would start moaning for a "Free phpBB3 Themes", "Free Joomla Themes", "Free bbPress themes" blah blah blah. There are way too many CMS' to even consider that suggestion. I'm a big fan of renaming it to "Cheap Crap", or just "Easy on the wallet"
