First off I know this has been asked a million times. However I would like to know why this site cant have a Buy and Sell forum like Sportbikes.net or susa or any other motorcycle forum on the planet? Not asking to start drama, or get this thread deleted but I think the public has a right to know. Is it money, or something else????

 

if they get forums for buy and sell

what will stuntusa do?

 

I think its ALOT easier for the site and people who are buying or selling if theres a forum like that.

 

The classifieds here are too much of a hassle, and im not a big fan of stunttrader either. I'll put it like this... I dont want to sign up to a new site, and possible put money in a 3rd parties pocket just to sell my used tail section for $20 that I have laying around collecting dust... You know?

 

We used to have one here and then we upgraded to the modern times and bought the new classified software like all the big sites use.
- The classifieds allows you to post just like in a forum except it requires users to imput the proper info where it is necessary. instead of people having titles that say BIKE FOR SALE now its organized so that it says HONDA CBR600F4i for sale in New Jersey...
- With a forum you have NO IDEA where anything is located... with a classifieds system it tells you how many miles away.
- with a forum you cant see what anything is unless you click on the thread to view the pictures. in the classifieds there are thumbnails visible from the main page.
- the forums have no way to rank a seller. The classifieds is like eBay where you can leave feedback for a buyer or seller.
- In a forum you can reply to a post. in the classifieds you can reply to a post.
- in a forum you can email a user... in the classifieds you can email a user.
- in a forum you can search for keywords in the classifieds you can search for keywords.
- They both count towards the final post count as well.
- StuntLife is huge and its easier to track items for sale with a classified system.
The forums you all have used alot, the classifieds is new.

Uhhh... StuntTrader is completely free...

 

let us vote on what we want
how about that?

 

theres an idea. DO IT SHUG DO ITTTTTT!

 

I think those who actually religously contribute to the site should have a right to vote... or maybe those who pay for advertising on the site should have a right to make suggestions ... ...

OH WAIT ... ha! all the expenses for the site DO come out of shuggs own PERSONAL pocket... or *coff coff* debt *coff coff* ...

therefore .. HE VOTES :YEAH

 

would you pick what 5 people want or what 5,000 want

 

usually majority rules my friend ...
and i understand that ya cant cater to everyone's wants and needs... that's why there is an owner of the site who can do whatever he wants ... i do believe its his name on the site .. and i do believe that this is the one of the largest message boards ...
damned if ya do and damned if ya dont ...

 

the owner of the site should do what the people want
not what he wants

 

man ....

 

woman..

 

yeeeeeeeeeeees????

 

you dont have a lot of common sense do you

 

lots of it... try me

 

You need to get rid of the writing in you avatar :YEAH

 

Why not have both??? I'll even moderate it. You have a sub forum for reviews. If people dont list the important things like Discription, price, and location the thread gets deleted. It would be very simple, easy and i volunteer to do the mod work. Do It!

 

do it! do it! do it!
