    Shawn--

    I've been hanging out in the Link Sales forum quite a bit more these days and there's something happening that I see. I see a lot of WTB (want to buy) and for-sale link threads. Would it be possible to split link sales into two categories of WANTED and SALES, so we can more easily view the threads and keep it more organized?

    anyone have some thoughts on this?

    The entire bst forums are slowly getting overrun with WTB's.

    Would make it easier for buyers and sellers to see what is for sale and what is WTB.

    I vote for a WTB only forums in each section.

    Hmmmm... adding 7 sub-forums just for WTB categories in each section might be a little too much I think.

    I like being overun with WTB's, prices go up a lot when demand outstrips supply.

    Only for this specific one because there's a lot of different threads with WTB and SALE, it would be nice just for the Link Sales forum to have two sub-sub-forums....

    Well if we do it for one, we probably should do it for all, don't you think?

    At most I would agree with Sites and Link Sales, because I do see a lot of SALE and WTBs in those, but I wouldn't see it really needed for any of the other forums. If there was a need for *all*, then yeah, I would agree all, but I honestly don't see a need for *all* to have 2 sub forums, just those two specically.

    A whole new forum "WTB" and a description that any WTB is only to be posted there. Regardless of the WTB...sites, content, databases, etc.

    Seems the easy way out. :rolleyes:

    Hmmm... I'm not so sure that's too productive. Just because you aren't selling things, maybe others are more interested in the WTB threads. In that case, why don't we just send all the "Selling" threads from all categories into a single forum? :)

    If we are going to go that route, why don't we just get rid of the whole Buy/Sell/Trade section since I (personally) don't have any interest in selling or buying? :)

    Is it possible to have B,S,T icons (instead of the usual 14) for each type of thread , so users find it easier to track relevant threads ?

    Hmmm... that's a really good idea actually. I'll dig into seeing if it would be possible or not.

    Thats a nice idea, a different color perhaps would help. :)
