Subject: Top Topics in the Classifieds

What's that all about? There are a number of unlocked topics listed as top topics in the Classifieds forum and I'm curious about why the top topics listing is actually there. Can ads legitimately be popular and appear there without needing locked? Why are locked threads still there? I'm thinking that MAYBE the Classifieds forum was designed using a similar structure to the other forums and the top topics listing wasn't removed. I don't know though. Do top topics appear there going by how many times threads have been "saved"?

What do you guys think?

Just like all the other forums it's all about how much the thread has been saved (which I have heard is abused by certain groups).

It's certainly abused. Should the most saved topics even be shown though? Seriously.

Eh, the system we have now is just begging to be abused though. Forums are meant for discussion, but discussion doesn't occur in the classifieds, it's just listings that have to be bumped or necrobumped to survive. Having to risk being banned to occupy one of the 25 spots on the first page? Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of his group's size to get a top forum topic and save themselves the hassle.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

You're right, there should not be any Top Topics in the Classifieds. But with this version of Bungie.net on its way out, this seems like kind of a pointless thing for the web team to be spending its time fixing.

Hey man that thread in the Classified forum is the only "pinned" thread I got!

I think the entire way groups are advertised on bungie.net needs to be completely revamped. Like Foman said, it's pointless to change anything right now, since we're on the end of the cusp with bungie.net being updated. But hopefully there is a new way of advertising once the webteam upgrades this place.

Of course, hopefully the Classifieds undergoes a big revamp.
