Creating a 'Wanted Ships' Forum? - Cawdor - 05-20-2011

Since I spend more time than others in the ship sales forum, this might only be a thing that's bothering me, so I decided to make this poll first before starting an actual site-feedback thread.

Now Why do I ask for this?

1. People don't always tag their posts.
So you'd have to read through every topic title in order to find out whether or not you'd be at all interested in the kind of transaction (Sale or Demand) never mind the ship its self.

2. The competition for the first page.
Disco has so many different ships that a sale topic can easily stay undemanded for a week until a buyer is found. Especially if you sell several ships at a time, a thread stays relevant for even longer. so people (like me) keep bumping their threads because they don't want to fall behind the first page, as everything behind it is marked 'dead' for the unknowing eye.

What do you think?

Personally, I just want someone to buy my Paladin.

Competition is good.

i agree, ship sales should be split in "BUYING" and "SELLING"

it is much more tidy, much easier to get ships sold as you wont have to look for buyers maybe 10 pages back, or you dont have to sort through 5 pages of buyers to find your seller....

Make it happen

I know about a online game forum where you HAVE to choose between "[Sell]", "[Buy]", "[Want]" etc. in the marketplace subforum and THAT was shown before their topics title!

Maybe this is possible with the current forum software?

Due to this, I voted NO:D

Yup I agree aswel, splitting it to Buying, Selling, and exchanging could be abit more organised but not THAT important.

That does sound like a very good idea (mind you one that I thought about as well) but I think that the chances of a new sub-forum being introduced are higher than the forum being modified.

In any case, I wouldn't say NO. (saw what I did there? [Image: eyebrows.gif] )

I agree... This could make it easier to find ships you'd like without having to search the endless ship sale pages
