Separating the FS
« on: May 05, 2013, 08:16:27 PM »
Been browsing some other clubs forums and noticed that a lot of them have separate sections in there fs threads some go as far as separating lakes and regions but I think new world cichlid old world cichlids dry goods plecos/catfish and other would be a good start.

It does make it more complicated for sellers who have more thsn one kind of thing.  But would be more organized hopefully.

It's not really necessary.  If you look at the forum right now, there are still threads up from Friday.  We don't have the traffic on this site yet to where threads get buried in less than a day.

How about you start making it to some meetings before suggesting anything.  :P

Now being serious....  I agree with Marty.  If the OP lists the species in the title,  Which most do, then it's not needed.

Yeah I know that you would attend if possible.  That's why I took the opportunity to bust your balls .

I agree.

If it were divided... it would just be more clicks I have to push on my phone.

Ha!  I didn't even think of that.... Dan must've gotten a new job with a phone company & is trying to get us to use more data. :P

Yeah your right I defiantly underestimated the amount of work clicking an extra time would cause my fault I need to consider such things next time. I mean were talking seconds imagine the other things we could be doing with that precious time!  I sincerely apologize.

I actually like this idea. But I also used to spend hours at a time renaming my music files so that they would all fit the same format.

it's OK, you just didn't realize that one could feed their fish 3.14 pellets in that amount of time.

I'd definitely agree with you if the member base was 1,500+

It's not really for over crowding of the for sale section it would be more for people that aren't every day visitors like the people discussing this, but for the people that are once a week or a couple times a month there on the forums.  Also would be cool for people like me who really one click on the "show unread posts since last visit" and don't actually go through and browse.  Not to mention would be cool for something like hey I'd like to try something new like on old world go through the list of fish from a few months back a lot of that stuff is still for sale because A. people are breeding the species and B. stuff doesn't sell and the seller doesn't bump it all the time. 

No biggie just thought it was something cool that some of the other clubs had.

Its not really a time thing for me.  But, when there are only one page of for sale adds... why go look multiple places when it can all be seen at one time?

Now, if adds fell off the first page each day or so... then I could see breaking them up and make it easier to find what you are looking for.

Maybe some day there will be that much traffic.
