Domains for sale should sponsorchat have a domains forum dedicated to listing domains?

[gotonudecom]

It seems that this forum has ONE category for everything, because of the lack of moderation and proper use of this forum.

Specifically, if a forum category for domain sales was created, I was told that many of you would still post your domain sales in the main area and not use the domains forum.
which would be those people's loss of possible visibility and a benefit to those of us that use / attempt to use a forum properly.

The second issue is that some people would create a thread for each domain name, which is the best way to do it IMHO. More threads, more conversations, more pages, more visitors, more SEO potential, WIN WIN again IMHO.

I want to list ONE of my domains for sale. I think it is a funny name at worst. I think it deservers a dedicated thread.

I want to have a discussion about another domains potential value and I seriously doubt any of you have the amount of money I would take for it.

Since this forum needs more activity, I thought I would create a thread for each.

Then, MAYBE, if the thread stayed on subject, there would be a two threads for us to discuss the potential of a funny domain name and another to discuss the valuable domain name.

I have heard over and over that this forum needs more posts, more moderation, more visitors and people to use it properly.

What are your thoughts?

List domains in the main area and hope people see it?
List domains in a dedicated forum so domainers can find it easier and quicker and increase visibility, and don't worry about the people that can not post in the proper area. Let those people have less visibility or better yet, move their post to the proper area, with a few clicks?

Domainers, do you want a dedicated area to find and list your domains?
Do you want to list them one at a time, in a list or both?

yes a dedicated category for sales would be good !

I'll try make this short since I can ramble on a lot about the subject. I know where this is coming from a couple of nights ago i woke up to have a drink of water as usual I check the board any time I wake up, I noticed you had started a couple of domains for sale threads. I merged them, I think it was around 2.40am or there abouts. Talk about lack of moderation, 20 years and I still check this site when front of my laptop, in the backyard doing a barbecue, or at a restaurant, friend's house or even walking down the aisle pushing a shopping cart.....

Every new member who has ever joined her can not post in real time unless I approve their first post, before doing that I check their IP, email address, match to see if they have any other accounts here using that email or IP address. If you only knew how many first posts and new members I ban here each day. At a very minimum 15-20 plus per day, most are out right spammers and spambots. The fact no one has to see the spam is because I moderate every new poster.

We tried a more times than can remember having forums for everything, everyone ends up posting their products for sale in the Mainchat, you know why, they know it will get the most exposure. When I used to move their threads to the appropriate forum they would either private message, email or Skype me saying they are a long time member, or they have to sell their domain fast or some other reason and they want it in the mainchat.
From October 4th 23004 the first day Sponsorchat showed up online, I said please keep one thread add your domains to it, the reason is I had been on forums myself and seen what was happening. You have people start a new thread everyday for a new domain, most people only check the first page on any forum by the way this is a fact. So no one would see the domains for sale past the first page rendering the domain forum useless.

The one thread per person works, trust me most importantly because most people who sell stuff here or advertise their product,services or programs are not regular community members, to put it bluntly without offending anyone they don't care about the board, it's members or being part of it. They simply want to make a sale and I can show you hundreds of threads ( Which I won't here not to offend anyone) where they only post about their domains, links, whatever in the one thread never even reply to another thread.

That is fine but the board is not a domain or link selling site, that is a free service for members, if all we have are hundreds of new threads each day and no discussion no one will come back or post. I know it does not suit everyone and I know it upsets people when I merge the threads but that point is not to upset anyone it is to keep the place neat. On top of that there is a very good seo angle to it, longer threads get more action, I am no seo expert like yourself but I have noticed that. I know you support the board and I appreciate it, how about starting useful and interesting business related threads, that would be much appreciated boss.

Peace

>>>how about starting useful and interesting business related threads, that would be much appreciated boss.

I just did.

How many of my threads are the most popular business threads on this forum?

there is almost no way to find domains for sale in the main thread without going through all the junk posts.

unless I just happen to see a post at the top of the main list that I am interested in, I do not read all the list of posts cause most are not business related at all.

Over half of the current posts are not business related.
I am not reading through these to find business related posts to interact with.

NO they are lazy!
if you had analytics setup I could prove that your exposure theory is NOT accurate.

Unless people reply to a thread soon it goes to page two and dies.

>>>> When I used to move their threads to the appropriate forum they would either private message, email or Skype me saying they are a long time member, or they have to sell their domain fast or some other reason and they want it in the mainchat.

Then dont move them. Let people post where they want, but have dedicated areas where only certain things can be posted. For those of us that want to do things efficiently.
no one said you had to do more moderation than you already do.
Give some of us an opportuning to do what we want, Instead you are forcing me to deal with you dealing with a few asshats that wont follow rules.
So this is me PMing YOU to make me happy and this is you telling me to fuck off.

>>>They simply want to make a sale and I can show you hundreds of threads ( Which I won't here not to offend anyone) where they only post about their domains, links, whatever in the one thread never even reply to another thread.

and you chase these people off. They could be interested in your advertisers, too!
just because they are not here everyday, does not mean they are not of value.

Just because they do their business and leave does not mean they are not of value.

Look at the big sites making millions and billions, they do not chase ANYONE away, until they are so big it does not matter.



had you combined my two posts without removing the domain name and replacing it with random text. I might not have said anything.

They were TWO business Related useful and interesting business related threads.
Two completely different subjects and agendas.

One was about selling a domain name that I thought was funny. Do other people think it is funny. what do they think it is worth?

The other was about Estibot valuing a domain name and I wanted to know what people thought about the value and estibot.
is it over priced, does estibot suck?

Just because I also mentioned I would take offers, does not mean they were the same, related or should be combined.

Two different agendas.
Two different business related threads.

Now both are gone and no one will ever see them.

Not like after 35 new posts they would not have gotten lost on page two of the ONE page of main threads that are more than 50% NOT business related.

Also I already KNOW your opinion on this.

How about letting the forum tell YOU what they want?

My opinion is that without analytics or some kind of statistics on the site you are just guessing, even with an educated guess, of what is really going on with the site and visitors.

Never let a few people control what you do. Never let the MOB rule either. Make educated decisions using statistics and facts.


That is what this thread is about.

I want to know what the few people that might read this thread think about how threads are managed here on this site. How many people are really not satisfied with the ONE main thread situation here.

My threads were more business related than do I have sleep apnea

Because we / I am here to learn about adult business. Not read a bunch of NONE business related thread titles to find something interesting to us.

The moderation part is where you tell the people that contact you tough shit dude post your crap where it goes or just ignore them.

People like me that dont give a shit about
Krispy Kreme is 87 years old today

dont want to waste our time reading about

Some people just annoy me with their looks and voice

cause some are annoying by posting BS in a business forum... instead of the BS forum.

Now you know why I do not come here as often as I used to.

Trolls, threads that don't stay on topic, horrible thread navigation, lack of moderation, selective moderation that makes no sense to me and a few other things I will keep to myself.


All you need is 5 to ten main forums and the barely enforce where people post.

These five

Trading, Buying, Selling Links, Traffic, Domains, Websites

This area should be promoted on every page more than just two words in the header.

And all the threads can ALSO be in the main thread.

There is no way to sort through the BS.

The functionality is there, turn it on and use it.

The mainchat being the one that opens up when you type sponsorchat.com helps with Google and saves me time clicking from a main page to the mainchat.

What does 'maqua' the domain sponsor here think just curious.

[jag]

Whatever the majority of regulars want is the right way to go if you ask me.

Please stop changing the fucking layout again it gets old

What I think is if you want to start “A” thread dedicated to listing domains for sale go for it, if your domain sells even better, that’s the whole point.

I may be a sponsor here but that is to help TheButcher and to keep Sponsor Chat alive and kicking,

I do agree we don’t need 100 different threads for everyone selling their domain, if it’s a dedicated thread it’s an good idea, if a visitor or local is in the market to buy your domain, boom they know where to go.

I have never objected to anyone else listing or selling their domains, shoot even if you listed your domain on my thread would be fine with me, if it sells, that would make my day

Totally with you on this point. thread after thread by the same person selling his domains will flood the chat. Keep it simple keep it all on the one thread.

one thread or one forum??!!?!?!

a thread is hard almost impossible to find in the main chat.

a forum under main is easy to use.

One thread is per person is fine.

Not picking on this guy but using his thread as example. He replies a few times a day to sell his domains, you imagine he had a few threads one per domain and kept bumping and replying to each. viewtopic.php?f=74&t=9173

Can you image if he did not need to bump it?
He has to bump it because it is lost in that long list of trash threads.

Without him bumping no one would ever see it.

This is why so many people never come back and repost.
Their thread has NO HOME and is immediately moved to page two and then never seen again, unless they bump it.

This policy by design is forcing people to bump to be seen.

I want people to read my threads and reply and participate, but unless someone finds it and replies or bumps, page two or worse and nothing.

How many more people would frequent the site if it some type of structure?

Oh yeah, No one is tracking analytics on this site. so it is all feelings and guess work. The MOB rules or the squeaky wheel gets the oil.

He bumped it every day and replied every day, he is desperate to sell.
