We need a new sector on the forums . we need a business forum for large storefronts . this would be perfect for all the storefronts in the international inncedinces area that would lossen the strain on the forum and give the stroefronts a place to do busniess with out having there stroefront fall on two page 2 or 3 every 2 seconds. everyone would benefit from this .

Weapons-tech incorp

Or a link forum to the International Mall...

i.e. here (s6.invisionfree.com/International_Mall)...

i agree with weapons there does need to be a forum for us companies i dont care were but we need one. i could be on nut and bolts something but there needs to be one!!!!!
hear that mods. we need one NOW!!!!!!!

To put it better, I think we need a forum for both storefronts and business roleplay. I've often seen RP's about a National company producing "this", and "this" goes wrong. Or there's a Nation who wants to set up a business to research "this" or "that". These are not international incidents, and are clogging up the I.I forum. There's hundreds of them. Roleplay would be much more efficient with a seperate forum.

Please Mods, this is the best idea anyone has had in a long time... this would sure shut up all those complainers about Jolt, and it would show that you really do care. However much that is... :p

I think I'll Tag, I want to hear from a Modster.

Actually, that's not a bad idea. Good as the international mall is, it's not part of Nationstates...although storefronts have been doing pretty good in the II forum, and I don't know what what happen if there was a storefront forum...people being bombarded by pages and pages of stuff...it would totally suck for the buyer...he/she wouldn't know where to start. :P

Storefronts are already in international incidents aren't they?

<snip>everyone would benefit from this .
Everyone?

Including the people who never use II?

Just OOI, what the hell would go in II if there weren't any storefronts?

I'll try to explain what I previously said again.

Basically, for a lot of people Storefronts are a neccessity to play the game. When Internation Mall is ok - it can hardly be pulled into the discussion as only just over 100 people use it. There's way more NS storefront users than that. I have been looking at IM for a while - and it's not that active anymore.

International Incidents is clogged with thead after thread of people bying and selling things. When you want to find a decent war, you're stuck in the midst of hundreds of stores, but when you're trying to find a nice new tank you can never find them. This mess is unorganised and often puts me off roleplaying.

Making a Business forum would clean out international incidents and make everyone happy. Not only for storefronts, but often people roleplay about businesses in their Nation going bankrupt or something or the other. They would go in the business section. People above are talking about how someone wouldn't know where to start buying on a business forum - well it would be no different to the international mall, and it just involves browsing around - that's the best part!

Now, someone else said that without storefronts International incidents will be nothing. I'm a II regular, and it's full of wars, diplomacy, international pleas, terrorist claims, "My Nation got blown up today" etc etc. Making a business forum will enhance the II experience even more, not wreck it.

So there's my essay, I think a Business forum will be a great idea. It is worth serious consideration in my opinion.

There's a post by GMC here (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=6626493#post6626493) advocating a new forum for OOC threads and Storefronts. As the idea behind this would be to keep all these invading RP threads out of Gameplay, I am all for the idea. Of course, I don't RP, and have no idea if that's a good idea to RPers...
