How bout a New Forum Area?
I think there should be a new formula specifically for trade of resources and weapons. This would make it easier for those trying to expand, they would not have to go through all the International RP's and Wars.

If you're selling something good...it'll make it's way through the bastardly n00bish II forums and the good RP of the NS forums. :wink:
On a more serious note...If the admins made a forum for trade...then they'd have to make one for war, diplomation relations, character-oriented roleplays, etc. The problems with those are that there are constantly new ways to role play being introduced, and that most good roleplays aren't simply one topic.
What about a trade RP that turns into a blockade which then turns into a war, in which single characters are used? As you see...things would get too complicated.
More forums would be remarkable. I don't think that things getting "complicated" would be a large enough setback to find a way to counter the daily flooding of the forums.
Maybe if some new forums were opened up, threads wouldn't get pushed off the front page in about five minutes.

Hmmm...not meaning for this to be flame or anything...but you must not RP much then...

That's the nature of NS or any other forum with this many members. You cannot expect that a topic that isn't posted in often to stay on the front page. There are hundreds of pages...and possibly thousands of topics...
Keep your URLs, bump it when it's needed, and sent the URLs to people (allies, friends, etc.) telling them to visit the thread and post.
Too many forums will just leave us all dazed and confused :o
You are correct that I have not RP'd much, simply due to the enormous size of this forum. I have learned to start bookmarking threads though.
I still think it is a somewhat inefficient way of doing things.

Simply take a word document and copy and past important URL's of threads to it. When you need them, retrieve them...
I usually just search in the author box for *Metal
