Should we lose the Sub-Forums in Trade Impressions?
I’ve chatted to Marco about the possibility of losing the individual sub-forums (Traders’ Rooms) in the trade section, and he asked me to post a thread to canvass thoughts from both trade and regular forum users.
It seemed a really good idea for traders to have individual rooms where they can post freely and where regular visistors can go to clearly defined areas. But, what seems to have occurred is a bit of an ‘arms race’ where traders jostle to keep their latest post visible on the main front page of the forum. Anything else is largely invisible to casual visitors. Having initially embraced the idea of separate trade rooms, I think that the time has come to lose the trade rooms and have a single Trade sub-forum, where all the recent posts can be clearly seen at a glance, hopefully to the benefit of all users and visitors. This is what we used to have at AoS and what PFM still operate.
So, please cast a vote and post your thoughts below.
