I would use tags.
Being a trader myself, I would love to see this! People are focusing on files and information products, think actual items people! And a feedback system.
EDIT: deffinitely needs to be put in the Neverland ranch, so at least only recognizable members can use it, reduces the risk of scams.
+1 Yes (:.
Well i would donate some cash, but i can do it once i start selling :D
I do like this Idea, I'm not worried about Scams that much since there can be systems installed and rules created that will help the buyer decide if the seller is trustworthy or not. The only concern I do have considering this is a MMORPG development section, It will turn into a place where people will start selling MMORPG development related stuff causing development to slow down in many sections, or just turn into a place where money hungry people will sell developed stuff they got for free. When it comes to selling Internet related items (like scripts, sources, even MMORPG accounts) there is also a issue of people selling stuff that isn't theirs. So, A lot of thinking should be put into preventing these things from happening.
dan i be mod on that section kk pl0x?
lol but seriously dan i want be mod on that section!
Uhm, question, assuming there is a Vbulletin add-on, would there be the ability to have individual shops (eBay type) ?
What some of you who are for the "free development" thing don't understand is that private server development is not like it was a few years ago. We didn't have as advanced files and as many options as we do now so people were happy to share anything they found.
Now there are a lot of people doing more advanced work on private servers, a lot more work than most people were doing a few years ago. No one wants to give their time away for free. Why spend hours working on something new just to give it away when there is potential to make money off of it?
"Free" private server development has gone out of style. Sure, there are some people and groups out there that will always produce free files, but you have to pay to get the good stuff.
RZ development sections are getting less active because people are moving to forums where they can purchase stuff for a decent price that is far better than the free stuff RZ produces and is less complex to deal with.
Instead of trying to stick with keeping RZ a "free files only" forum, drop that idea for a second and look at it this way:
RZ is a very popular forum. Everyone knows about it, and the people who say they hate this site still view it from time to time. People interested in selling their files already know this. If a section is added where people can sell their work, then people are going to use it. What is the point of me saying that you wonder?
Competition. The #1 complaint people have when other people try to sell their files is "that is way too expensive." People will start to compete with each other to offer the best prices. This will lower the cost of the "better" files out there and make the quality files more available to everyone.
Its time to face the truth; people who want to run quality servers have the money to invest in good files. The only thing offering free files does is create shitty servers that potential players for the actual good servers get lost in.
I'm not saying take away the free stuff. I'm saying adding a section like this would be good for the entire development community. In the end, if a section like this is never added then people will just go to other forums to sell their stuff anyways.
I'd be willing to help out with the section if more people are needed. :P
Location wont make a darn but of difference lol.Quote:

Then have a sub-section for information products (i.e accounts, files etc) and different rules to go by to help avoid any problems.
I really do like this idea, Dan. As they say, money makes the world go round.
So your post count determines weather you are to be trusted or not? Then in that case I better get posting to gain some more trust. But honestly, I don't think that this section should only be limited to spammers and older members. We should embrace the community, and see what they have to offer (obviously with the guidelines that Dan mentioned earlier). But hey, that's just my two cents.Quote:
