Replicate sales forums for wanted forums.

    I think we should have a another forum, a wanted section so that people can request things which are currently not for sale, or are for sale and to get the best deal. I think this will have the following benefits.

    1. Only threads selling items will be in the sales forum - more relevence
    2. Less confusion in the forum of whether you are asking for products or selling products
    3. Better sales, and more interest in wanted threads
    4. Less spam

    I think there should be 1 forum called 'Wanted' inside the BST forum.

    And inside the 'Wanted' section there should be a few subforums, Links, Websites and domains should defiantly be there, because these are probably the most things that people will request.

    yeah. Its very hard to find threads where users are requesting something. We should have that section

    "Requests"

    I was thinking Wanted sounds more professional compared to Requests, but to be honest, both of them mean the same.

    I agree. As a subforum to sales, that would be great!

    Not really... i ignore all threads with that tag, because i just don't know what it means, sounds daft, but it is true.
