Anyone have any thoughts on the changing the trading post forum somewhat? With the number of members and trading going on, it seems like the topics just go flying through and usually a topic is on the first page for maybe a day... so I think a lot of useful offers may be getting missed. So I'm wondering if it would be beneficial to sub-divide the forum more? Maybe under the trading post have

Trading Only
Accepting Paypal for Referrals
Paying for Referrals
Noobs Only (that way we can just ignore them all ;)

Just thinking this may allow people to better focus on what they want in terms of trading without trying to sift through tons of messages that aren't relevant.

Anyone have any other ideas or thoughts on this? Or do people not really care? lol

You are a noob. Should we ignore you? Sort of a good idea, but not exactly like you said. some noobs can be VERY valuable because they haven't done any of the sites yet.

I was joking about the noobs because everyone just seems to jump all over them because they never post right on their first post. Not saying I'm not a noob but I've at least tried to follow the rules.

I just think it is tough to get the audience you deserve when posting because there are so many posts everyday. And since you're only allowed to start a new thread once a week, it's tough to get posts noticed except for the first couple hours it on. And not all of us can be on every couple hours )

It might clean things up a little. Just my n00b opinion.
