Suggestion for BuySellTrade

    Inside the freebie section (BuySellTrade --> freebies), I was wondering if you could add a separate section for "Social Networking", because 7 out of every 10 threads in there is a clone of a stumble/digg/reddit/delicious trade. I love the posts, but lots are spamming the freebie forum. If you could maybe make its own section, so we could easily see all the great freebies, as well as find social network free building, I think the forum would be greatly improved.

    Let me know what you think, and if anyone else agrees.

    I think those threads should be canned. But that's just my opinion. :p

    Yeah I think having a subforum under Freebies isn't a bad idea. There are A LOT of social bookmarketing exchange threads. I think they are helpful but they are cluttering actual freebies.

    Ah you're not the first one who starts a thread about stumbles, diggs etc. I agree, they're annoying and push down all other "good" freebies.

    Glad I "stumbled" upon this thread. Precisely why I came here to complain err comment about all the social bookmark exchanges cluttering things up. It seems to have gotten really bad in the past month! I think they have a use and a place, just not where they are now =)

    I just came from freebies, and there is a sticky and three NON-social bookmarking threads. The rest are for stumbles, diggs, and del.icio.us tags for FREE! IMHO, that's a bit excessive...

    While I do enjoy getting my sites stumbled, and while I've even been known to start such threads myself, I am not led to believe that this is an infestation of an otherwise wonderful board. And while it's likely just a current fad, it's a bother finding any other type of threads.

    I agree completely. It would be better in it's own sub-forum under services and/or Freebies.
