Title: The Trade Board Needs YOUR Help!!
Post by: grumpydisneydad on July 13, 2007, 11:25 PM
Hello and Howdy Fellow and Fellowette VMKNobser's,  :hisign:

As some of you probably know already, The Gnomes have been made Mods of the trade boards. It is our goal to make The VMKNobs Trade board the 1st place people come to make and view trades. AS wonderful and talented as Bright and I are, we realize that we can NOT make this happen by ourselves. With that being said, we would like YOUR input on how to improve the trade boards. So send all your ideas, thoughts, dreams , or even silly suggestions for improvement To either Bright or myself and we will take a look at them and together we can make the VMKNobs Trade Board the envy of ALL the kingdoms.


Thanks In Advance for your support and input,

The Gnomes

I would suggest being specific about the trades/wants and listing both on each post.  From experience on another board, it is difficult at times to understand a trade thread unless the author states exactly what they want to trade and exactly what they want or even what they don't want (ie - buyables).  Another suggestion would be an expiration date for a trade thread (2 weeks?) at which time the trade thread would be closed unless it is still receiving active "bids".

Is a trade feedback system possible here?  I know for the most part everyone here knows and trusts everyone, but for someone new, it might be useful to see feedback on a member's trades before they enter into a trade with them.

I know for me it would be helpful to have a sticky at the top of the page to list all vmk items and their pictures. Also a list of beta would be nice. I do realize that this would require an enormous amount of work and research though. Its just nice to be able to refer to something if you can't remember when it was released on vmk.

Good suggestion Fly! If that becomes a problem over here, I am sure Bright, Decoy and myself will figure out a fair way to determine guilt and de3al with it.


BUt why stop at sending them to Davy Jone's Locker, I think we should force them to drink a case of Beverly and then send them to see ol Mr Squid Face

Oh no, not the Beverly! That's just plain cruel, Gnome. Although, it would be funny to watch their face.  A few years back my dear sweet brother-in-law set me up with the Beverly. Told Tom and I it was the best thing in there, and of course, I feel for it~hook, line, and sinker! But how many stations did I go to before I realized that it still tasted bad at each of them? THREE!!  And the only reason I stopped was because this is how I saw my husband~ :rofl1: :rofl1: :rofl1: Once I saw him laughing hysterically, I started thinking something was up with the Beverly.  He let me say twice, "Wow, their tanks are out of something, you better try another station."

So lets pass the Beverly around to anyone who truly deserves it!

Have a great blonde moment today!

I know there is a beta list out there on the "other" board.  Why don't you just steal it?    >:D

OH.. and Hi Ant!!!   :hug:
