Where should the Swap Shop area be on the board Poll

[Ub Hauled]

I don't care where it's placed but I do think that the whole place for trades/selling should be together... call it "Market Place" and have WTB, WTS, WTT or FREEBIES (in case Danny wants to give stuff away again) and have people post inside there... just a suggestion...

I like the split

I like the WTB / 4SALE split, makes finding a deal easier, jmo

I also like the separation of WTB ads and sale ads.

Yep... leave it.

How 'bout adding to the WTB section --->"WTB..... but really just window shopping"? ...LOL!!!

[Steven Vaccaro]

Looks like it stays down here for a while. Lets see what happens.

The reason why I don't want to make the swap shop a favorite direct link is now with everyones album pics up top on the front forum page I wouldn't see many of em' if I jumped directly to the swap shop, I really like that addition as it has made me be able to see what everyones running!!

Certainly not trying to be difficult but I gotta be honest ......

....trying to embrace this down low thing but it's just not givin' the warm fuzzies.

I have to wonder about the "more traffic" theory as unless you have something pertaining to Aquacraft, ProBoat, Traxxas or Venom you're most likely going to bypass them since they are target group specific forums. And if you do have something regarding those groups you were heading there anyways.

Just my two pence.

The only thing the swap shop being down here is going to do for me, is cause me to make the swap shop page a "favorite" .... which will allow my eyes to wander on other items even less..... just being honest.... and I believe honesty is what makes things better.... I like to say how I feel.... not say how I think I should feel.... if ya get where I am coming from? :)

If you have no interest in sharing your vast knowledge of RC boats by answering help questions for members with those RTR boats, just minimize those boards and the swap shop moves higher on your screen

No need for a dig like that, we're all friends here right? I'm always up for helping when I can but if someone asks if a flux capacitor will fit in his ProBoat Blackjack I have no clue. Now if someone asks a question that is more generalized then of course I'll try to assist if it's something I can be helpful with, but that doesn't mean I'm going to troll the RTR forums looking for a question I might be able to answer. Guess this old dog is used to more hull specific forums - mono, rigger, scale hydro etc. where those generalized types of questions would typically be.

The point of the "traffic" is that as people scroll down to get to the swap shop, they will have to scroll past these RTR sections. As you scroll, you might just see, on the right of your screen that there is a recent post that reads...

ProBoat Miss Elam 1/12 Brushless Hydro Q & A . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . elam rudder
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You may be just the guy to help answer that question, and will have a higher chance of clicking it if you happen to see it down here. If you never scroll down here, you will never see it, therefore never help.

That is all I'm saying.

Point taken. It's all good Danny, have a great day.

I wish I can get more people to use the "New Posts" button. Its the quickest and easiest way to see all the new posts without having to open every individual board area.

I've received a few emails and pm's on "where has the swap shop" gone to. I'm not sure if I'm jumping the gun, but I dont want to see the swap shop suffer sales for people. So I'm going to give it another day or two.
