----- The Trading Post Is Being Shut Down -----

Good News! FiPG is making some changes to The Trading Post.

1) We're going to divide the forum up into separate forums for Cash Offers and Trade Offers, which should make it easier for all traders.
2) We're going to start allowing users to sticky threads. During this transition period, we're going to allow 5 threads to be sticked in each of the two forums for a maximum of X days (the exact duration will be decided in the next couple of days).

[bd726ee902f][ud726ee902f]The Trading Post will be shut down on Sunday March 9th at 8pm EST[/sized726ee902f][/ud726ee902f]. The transition should not take long so please be patient during this time. Once it reopens, please read the rules and guides in order to keep up with any new rule changes made. Please make sure to create your new threads in the correct forums as your old (current) threads will be locked.[/bd726ee902f]
[/colord726ee902f]
[ud726ee902f]Notes[/ud726ee902f]
a) [bd726ee902f]These stickies are free[/bd726ee902f] during the trial period as thanks to the membership here for your support. We plan to monetize them in the next 2-3 weeks for which the fee will be nominal (on the order of $x per day).
b) In the beginning, we're going to award stickies to those members who approach us first, with deference to those who are long-standing and contributing members to the forum. [bd726ee902f] If you're interested in a sticky, please contact our newest moderator (who will be announced in the next few days)[/bd726ee902f] and we'll add you to the queue. [bd726ee902f]Do not PM any current staff members about this as your PMs will go unanswered.[/colord726ee902f][/bd726ee902f]

Thanks for your continued support of FiPG, we hope to see you around more often.

Very good.

Can I sticky it with a white substance?
Thanks.

sounds like an excellent idea (not the white substance)

Elmer's glue right?

This is great news. Good job Jensen!

this is awesome. thanks guys )

Sweet, now I will use my sweet seduction methods to get stickied for a year...

Who wants to go first, Tyler or TSJ?

This is awesome. 5 stickies is a great number
NO MORE THen that though, please. I worry anymore will make it look like FLR were you can't see the top post until the bottom of the page. I can't wait!

You should also limit the "cash trade" section to a TR of 5 or above.. .....

Agreed, and I really like this idea. Now maybe I can do that iphone site I started forever ago.

theysay, since when are you admin

Uhh.......I've been an Admin for about 2 and a half years.

how did you finally get out from under that rock?

[quoteb23a6ae51c="manOFice"]You should also limit the "cash trade" section to a TR of 5 or above.. .....[/quoteb23a6ae51c]

Amen - great idea. Go for 5 OR MORE )

You know what else should be addressed - is all the free greens given out - perhaps sites could limit them to traders with TR+5 or higher - because if someone comes in and gets a free green to work that site - how easy that would be to scam other newbies.

I know they want more people to work their sites - but in actuality - these new traders should be doing trades first before working a site.
That is how most of us did it.

We can't control what promotions or special offers site owners run, so we really can't tell them not to give out free greens or only give them out to certain people.

TSJ -- stop being polite you ass.

is the trading post being closed?

On Sunday... yes.

I want a sticky!!! Who's the new mod? I want to get my PM in )

[quote95cd345d42="manOFice"]You should also limit the "cash trade" section to a TR of 5 or above.. .....[/quote95cd345d42]

I am a regular user of this forum but do not have a TR above 5. However, I do have a high TR on other forums. Not everyone with a low TR is a scammer.. some of us are great traders who may not have been able to pick up a referral from this forum yet or those referrals we pick up do not complete the trade so we cannot get the TR rating.. I just don't want to be left out because my TR here is not a 5. Am I making sense??

I think the new rule of TR +5 is to encourage green for green trading, which was the old and better way of doing things.

[quote08618bb2da="samz465"]I think the new rule of TR +5 is to encourage green for green trading, which was the old and better way of doing things.[/quote08618bb2da]

i don't think this is actually going to be part of the new rules. it was just a suggestion

Although it should be part of new rules. Take a look and probably half the posts are made by people with TR less than 5. They can still reply to posts, and get trades that way. If it were done like this I may even think about starting a couple more, rather than just DIY. But seriously I think whats killing trading is that there are so many sites. And you have people who are paying (not trading) for literally 25-30 different sites, which is just crazy.

It's to encourage green for green trades. It would help sites out more too (more offer completions). It's not about scamming really. Just because someone has a rating at another forum doesn't carry over to other forums, you gotta start from the bottom and work up. But my idea was just a suggestion it's not part of what their doing.

I'm sure you're joking but srsly --

[quotef3ac8b192d="theysayjump"]The staff at FreeiPodGuide are now offering you the opportunity to have your trade thread stickied ("stuck" at the top of your desired forum in order to gain more exposure as it is not affected by other people posting and it being pushed down the page).

Subsequently we have changed the way that The Trading Post works.

1) We've divided the forum up into two separate forums. One for Cash Offers (you pay someone cash to green for you or you green for cash for someone else) and Trade Offers (you complete a site for someone else and they complete a site for you in return).
2) As previously mentioned you are now able to have your trade thread stickied. During the first 2-3 weeks we're going to allow 5 threads to be sticked in each of the two forums for a maximum of 48 hours and you can only have one thread between the two forums, not one in each.

We will be monetizing this feature after the initial 2-3 week trial period (and even then it will be a nominal amount ($x.xx), so now is the best time to take advantage of this offer.

If you are interested in having your trade thread stickied, please contact our new moderator [uf3ac8b192d][if3ac8b192d][bf3ac8b192d]StickyMod[=http//forum.freeipodguide.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=34333]StickyMod[/if3ac8b192d][/bf3ac8b192d][/uf3ac8b192d] either via PM or e-mail. [bf3ac8b192d]Do not initiate trades with or attempt to trade with StickyMod; he is a Trading Post moderator only. Anyone caught PM Spamming, trying to initiate trades, setting up trades, asking to trade with StickyMod or anything else not related to stickies or the moderation of The Trading Post will be temp-banned for 14 days.[/bf3ac8b192d][/colorf3ac8b192d]

You may contact him regarding stickies, Trading Post violations, questions, reporting scammers, suggestions or anything else pertaining to The Trading Post/Trading. [bf3ac8b192d]Remember you can also contact the other staff members with your questions also (excluding stickies)[/sizef3ac8b192d].[/bf3ac8b192d]

Please feel free to comment on this or offer tips or criticisms. We look forward to hearing from you![/quotef3ac8b192d]

The mods already have a lot to deal with. ;)

I think its in the murky depths of the admin forum right now!!

While I like how the new trading section is setup...

It's still the same as before ... it just sucked out the 5 people who are doing referral for referral trading...

Can we perhaps limit people to perhaps 3 TR before they can offer cash trades?

Just shooting out some ideas, i like so far what has happened )
