    Just noticed that BST section has only "Buy, Sell or Trade (337 Viewing) "

    It used to have over 700+



    What do u think?
    I think it is becouse of new rules, not allowed vcc, exchange etc..

    It is hard to compare one day with another, especially if it is like said in one post above that there now is a spring break in usa...

    followed by 9 pages of 'pm me', it's so annoying. :mad::mad:

    Could the whole recession thing also have an influence on the BTS section?

    Well there are many users who come here for Social exchanges once it is not allowed such a user gone from BST. It also reduce the many threads of Stumbles and Dugg.:)

    Probably because of the ban on stumbles etc.

    I've also noticed that DP is loading faster and not failing to load a page like it had been recently. I wonder if the rule changes have caused less strain.

    Either way I'm happy as DP has improved.
