Welcome to the International Mall, a group of storefronts in one easy to access place. Here you can sell your equipment in a fast, safe and people-friendly environment. As a new feature your 'stuff' is now protected by a copyright, saving you the trouble of personaly dealing with troublemakers.

The benifits of joining the IM:
-Fast server, you can access your store whenever you want
-NS wide copy-protection, copyright violators will be met the the full force of the other IMers
-Your own forum and modship, no more lead-topics, bumping or anything else. You can deal with troublemakers on YOUR terms, no longer relying on mods to deal people who advertise in YOUR store.
-Friendly OOC forum, when you need some time off
-Internation Resource forum, joint projects and small storefronts forums for all your other needs
-No regulations on what you sell
-YOU make your forums rules

To get an IM forum:
-Give me the following information:
Name of store
Store description (Keep it short, 64 charicter limit)
Tech level
Anybody else you want to be a mod

Then:
Read the copyright agreement (http://com3.runboard.com/bnationstatesforum.fcopyrightsforum.t3)
Register with runboards
Post in your forum
Become a mod
Enjoy your storefront

Ignore my TG, Itakeitall. Your post answered my question.

I'll join, but I'll need to finalize excactly what I'm going to be selling beforehand. I'll let you know.

Edit: I'll register and tell you what my storefront will be called tommorow.

Itakeitall.
Yup, I remember you.
As to how to work things out, Im not sure.
Maybe you could do modern stores and I could do futuretech? Or we could 'share', IE: Make each other admins on the other forums.

Or a move could be arranged from one forum to another, the International Mall doesnt get much buisness, people dont seem to like Runboards much.
What would you say to a partnership? We could even move the CPA over to your forum and protect everybodys tech from people like FutureEngland.
21-03-2004, 06:35
I TMed you with my idea, but I will post it here too. I say moving would be a major a$$pain to all involved. Instead, I rigged up a forum redirect which, when clicked upon, opens up to the IM. Its like a link, but it is out in front as a forum.

If you need help setting it up, just make me admin, I will do it, and then you can unadmin me. Haha, or I could even unadmin myself.

Anyway, it would take very little time to do, and would solve our problem admirably. I would also like to use your copyright stuff (you would of course recieve credit) as it would be time consuming and pointless for me to make basically the same thing again. Besides, partners want to be the same!

What do you think?
21-03-2004, 06:37
I would get a store, its just that I dont have anything to sell :P
21-03-2004, 06:38
Haha, I just realized that I was the first person to request a spot on the IM.

Funny ole world, aint it!

Turns out I suck with storefronts, but I am good at management and compromise (hint! hint!).

I'm curious. Does the IM work? I've tried the link in the Unforgiven forum, but no luck there. NOw either my ISP can't reach the site, the link is bad, or the IM is down.

Runboards seems to do maintenance every now and then, usualy its once every three or four weeks, sometimes more, sometimes less.

Forums will be up once I see that Runboards is working again.

OOC:How long does it usually take to finish the maintence?
21-03-2004, 20:53
Regardless, you can put a shop on this URL: http://s4.invisionfree.com/The_Unforgiven_Board/index.php?c=6

It is just like having a spot on the IM (which we have joined with), except that it is not on evil demonspawn runboards. Also, DGNT, the redirect button was working before maint, and I set up my account by posting on your forum just before it went down.

As soon as it comes back up, I will set up the redirect forum for you (once you make me admin haha, cuz otherwise I cannot do anything).

Glad to be your pard again!

A few hours is normal, script debugging and other technical internet hacker garbage stuff.
Just 'cause I use it doesnt mean I know how it works :P

Akheva was good, then it became Runboards, which is not. Akheva didnt want you to pay ten dollars to get rid of banner ads. They didnt HAVE banner ads :P

Anyway, heres the thing.
Lets move all the modern stores to your board, and all the futuretech ones to mine. Or vice-versa. Itll save space and make it easier to find what you want. Maybe we could make a third board for the 'other' things like the Joint Projects, International Resource Exchange and Individual Items.

Dontgonearthere, I apologize, but you can delete the Gregor Corporation Storefront, I find the runboards BBS too unweildy to work with, I had to divide my main storefront up into three parts, and then the [code] tags wouldn't work. It's just a lot easier not to deal with it. Again, sorry for wasting your time.
Dontgonearthere
22-03-2004, 00:55
You could simply make three posts.
In any case, some of the tags for Runboards are differnt from NS, I suggest turning on the Tag Menu (whatever its called) which automaticaly places the tags you want with a mouse click, you then select and drag them where you want them.
Or, if you dont, please confirm that you want the store removed.
