I believe most first time visitors who are new to RMT in general don't realize there are forums and walk away when they only see auctions which are not generally not lazy person friendly

Nailed it.

When I look through my analytics, I get maybe 1-2 visitors from MMOBay per day, which is at an ALL TIME low.

Well what i have noticed is that is there really isn't a community here. Its just come and post your thread, wait for it to sell rinse and repeat. Other sites like ownedcore(MMowned), and codemplosion have a draw to their site. Like mmowned has tons of emulation, bots, model hacking, guides, exploits, etc etc and codemplosion has some cracked software. Im not saying we should do stuff like that since this site is not for breaking blizzard TOS which we are kind of doing but...maybe think of something that gives epicnpc a draw. Wether it be a members only bot developed by the community some type of emulation software or anything in general. When I come here 80% of the viewers are all looking at the wow buy and sell forums. Maybe offer rep to members that write guides, produce helpful software to people too.

This is very much a community here you just haven't been around long enough to see it.

As far as free rep you have to earn every single one. If you wrote a guide for wow why would i trust you any more, just stating your opinions and tricks for games doesnt make you a selling/trading guru.

EPICNPC has a draw... It's the number one place to buy sell and trade wow accounts :P

God Bless America!

obv not #1 if only 200 viewers....

How about adding that WoW eu trading section, I dont see why the US categories are divided into Selling/Trading and the EU community just has Selling and in it there is no way you can find to trade your account. Back in the days I used to do alot of trading, buying and selling all the time isnt in every guy's pocket and being able to try out other classes changing ur gameplay is really something in this game. Lets not forget most people come here for WoW and not the other games so please try and focus more on this. When I think up for more stuff I will let you know.

The WoW EU section has never be separated for trading and buying/selling. THe WoW US trading has 800k posts and 750k post for buying/selling. In comparison EU trading & buying/selling has 185k. About a fourth of the total of just one of those forums.

We do have the WTB, WTS and WTT prefixes, so you can just click WTT and it will just show you only the trade posts, so that should make searching for trades much easier.

However it there's enough demand and people really want a separate trading forum for EU, I don't mind adding one.

Please Mike, add it if you see it doesnt have much attention or many topics etc then you can always delete it and go back to the one we are now.

ok, its been added

Hey Mike, probably im stupid or what, but the SOLD thing that you've added some times ago its not still avaiable or?:P..pls put it on, was a super great idea!:P

Hmm, looks like the plugin no longer works with this version of VB. I'll check around to see if I can find something else or if there's an update for it.

Looks like it does work, I just had to re-edit one of the templates. Its working now.
