Hi Eric,
My idea is that a page (more likely pages) be formed whereby those domains offered for sale are listed automatically when someone creates a sales thread. The domains listed on the page could be organised either alphabetically or by submission date, any visitor to the page could click on the domain listing and be taken to the appropriate thread in the sales forums to follow up.
I think this may well be a great advantage to members as it would mean that they would have an easy reference to search through to see what domains were being offered for sale. It could also be that some sellers may then take advantage of forwarding their domains to the listing (pretty much what many do on Sedo, Afternic, etc. presently), this would likely increase the number of visitors to the forum as a whole as potential non-domainer buyers might find the forum due to this (OK maybe only a few
).
By having such pages it would mean that there should be less 'bumps' on the sales threads and therefore keep all those sales threads cleaner in appearance.
I guess this would be a kind of halfway house between the present forum sales listings and a Sedo/Afternic/ etc. site listings. I would think something like the following kind of listing scheme would look good:
Domain Name (and link) ........... Type of Sale (Auction/etc.) .................... Date added
Just an idea as having just come back to the forum I realised today just how quickly such listings can become buried and why there are so many bumps that occur in the sub-forums.
I most probably haven't explained this very well, but I can write a better proposal for such if you would like for you to consider. (Please note I am not asking for you to get me to do it for you, just a suggestion for you to get someone else who knows what they are doing to do it for you! LOL )
