Today. Twice.

I don't know why, but uh, I click through all the forums looking for something to touch.

What will I touch, if not the Classifieds?

Last time I went there? A few minutes ago. Seriously.

On an equally serious note, no way! Why get rid of the Classifieds?

"It has no activity!"

Because there isn't supposed to be, that's a rule. No posting.

"No one ever looks there!"

I beg to differ. Whenever I post group ads there, I easily find three or four pending members in my groups.

"It's pointless!"

Again, I beg to differ. It serves a perfectly good purpose. It's a clever, unique, and useful way to advertise your groups.

Need I say more?

Nah, too easy......


Before you rush to defend The Classifieds, hear me out:

Most of the adverts posted there are bumped, and to me it seems like a contest to see who can keep theirs on the front page the longest. I mean, at the moment for instance, there are two adverts for the same group (one is locked), and at least one bumped thread. I think advertising for these groups should be kept to signatures, invites, and good ol' fashioned word of mouth.

Good to see at least somebody takes this place seriously

I am sincerely disappointed in everyone except JIMH. JIMH, have a gold star.

I always thought that there should a search just for the classifieds.

This really hurts my head:

"This forum provides nothing for me. So, I believe it should be removed."

There are other people on the webernet, you know.

I never said that, so there's no need to misquote me. I was merely trying to point out its flaws.

He isn't misquoting you, he's de-euphemizing what you said.

I think they should stay. I don't want to have to lock advertisements in the Flood, H3 forum and New Mombasa. All I ask for is the removal of the ability to reply in that forum; that way bumping would come to a complete end.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Actually, I'd like to see a revamped classifieds system that would make it more efficient. I'd love to elaborate, but I don't really have time at the moment. Maybe I'll post my thoughts tomorrow.

In the mean time, I say keep it. It gives the moderators a place to point people when they lock adverstisements. Not to mention probably cutting down on the number of those misplaced ads.

It's because variety scares people! And since the customer is always right. You are to cater to them. In doing so, you will delete all forums, leaving only one to remain... The Highlander

Stop.
Requesting.
Less.
Forums.

We need an extra one, not less. Halo General FTW!

No more "Get rid of **********" threads. Please.

Everything is fine. Except that we need a General Halo Board, and maybe a Halo story board. =)

If the ability to specifically search a forum were also available


Sheesh, I could almost go make a topic about this.. It's one of the first things I wanted to see when the search feature came out, but someone (was it runningturtle?) said it would only come into place if it was needed.

I think it's needed. It'd be great. :)

And it would help out with The Classifieds a ton.

No one actually goes there to do something besides advertise a group themselves...I'd be indifferent to the idea, though. We don't really need a Classifieds but it seems rather nessesary.

  • 02.08.2007 1:14 PM PDT

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

I post advertisements there all the time. I also look there all the time for other groups to join.
So to answer your question...nay!

I use it. Though it may not be the most effective way, it is the right way I suppose. I check it quite often, contrary to popular belief.

I say no, because how else will groups recruit new members?
