How can we make buying/selling easier to do in the Bazaar forum?
Right now I think it's troublesome for someone who isn't on P99 to find something to buy.
What if we split things up based on server? A few ideas on how we could do that:
a) Subforums for each server. P99 / Live / Test / Fippy / PEQ
Pros: Easy to understand for new users. Complete separation between servers.
Cons: Splits the community. Sales that transcend servers (krono) will be harder to advertise. Trading cross-servers is more difficult. And more forums, ugh.
b) Prefixes for each server.
Right now we have: Character / Auction / Plat / Service and so on.
How about replacing those with tags for: Fippy / Bertox / Project 99 / Red 99 / etc.
The rest can be filtered out with a simple click.
Pros: Keeps everything in one forum for those who like it all, and can be filtered based on server for those who prefer separation.
Cons: Usage isn't obvious for those new to the community.
Seperate idea:
Hard-code in more thread boxes. For example, when posting a thread right now you choose "Prefix" and "Title". We could also add "Server" "Price" and any other options you guys need.
Do you have any ideas/opinions on this?
