"Storefront Forum" Idea.
I have noticed many storefront threads here in the "International Incidents" forum. The RP threads are often pushed off the first page by Storefront threads and Storefront threads are cramed between the RP threads. So I would like to make a proposel to establish a "Storefront Forum."

It's a good idea.
1. MODALERT, :arrow: to Tech maybe.
2. Umm... Aren't II also designed to accomdate storefronts? :P Nonetheless, I don't see them pushing the edge IMO.
"International Incidents
Declarations of war, international trade, diplomatic crises, and more. [Posts must be in-character; role-playing etiquette is enforced.]"
Storfronts are one of the points of the II catagorey. But it's not a bad idea to have it's own forum.

This was previously suggested (and at the time received a great deal of support), but it was deemed unnecessary at the time.
In the end, bookmark your RPs and learn to check out the other pages...I've more than once found out that somone was attacking me by looking on page 5.
EDIT: Let me be clear, I fully support the idea (although this is definitely a 'tech' issue) but I am not optimistic about its prospects.

Lets do this. Much easier to get to your RPs.
I didn't post this in Tech because not many people really visit Tech very often and since I'm talking about the II forum I should post it in the II forum.

Yeah, only nerds go to the Tech forum.
sounds like a great idea, make things so much easy to keep track of, and you can easily comparison shop :wink:
I don't know if this is a good idea or not yet.

Either speak now or forever hold your silence.
No one else has any comment or anything about the Storefront idea?

Definitely a good idea, the question is if it will be adopted.
This is a fantastic idea for a new forum and should help draw more attention to less-often-seen storefronts and give everybody (or almost everybody) a chance to sell something and auctually have people see it! :D
I say we should call it "NationStates Storefronts". And, remember, not everyone sells weapons, so the description of the forum should either not mention weapons ("sell your items") or leave room for other items ("sell your weapons, etc.")

Moved to Technical.
Personally, I would be happy to see a separate storefront section, but we do already have a number of forum sections here. It would certainly help the character of RP in II..

But the important ones (mods/admins/Salusa) do ...

I posted a similar thread in october, the answer then was no thats what II is for. But I continue to hope the Mods will see the light & give them their own forum so that the RP forums arn't as clogged with storefronts (do ppl still RP in II?).
Is it a good idea to encourage more storefronts?
At first I thouhgt the idea was for a StormFront Forum... this would not be a good idea.
