Hey everyone,
As you may or may not know, Niko2x-oniisan and I are your new Buy, Sell, and Trade section mods. We are in the process of cleaning house here, and it's gonna take a while We are working on it though. Between us both, we have reduced this forum from 49 pages down to 44 pages, and still going. We have posts selling and asking for trades, dating back to 2001

From what it looks like right now, any buy, sell, and trading inquiries from older than July 2003 WILL BE DELETED. We figure posts asking for titles and those that were for sale have been sold by now (it's been 9 months). I have just hit June 2003 and that is on page 40 So this is what I have to say right now...in order to help us, please do the following if anything applies to threads you have posted in here:

~If you posted selling VCD's or items a while back (around mid-2003 or anytime where the thread is now WAY BACK there) and you are still selling them, Please bump your thread so it is not deleted! In addition, if you have sets or items left, please update with such so people know.

~If you posted looking for a title or trade and you still need the thread open, Please bump your thread so it is not deleted! If it's for the same title you are still looking for, just bump it and update it. No need to add a totally new post for the same thing just because your first post(s) are outdated.

Anything that looks old and does not have valuable and current information replied thereafter (links to helpful sales or trade sites), it will most likely be deleted. Inquiries for titles with replies linking specific auctions will be deleted because they aren't current or helpful to those looking now or in the near future.

Besides normal posts, old posts that are off topic will probably be deleted rather than moved (if they are really old). Old BT seeding requests that were NOT posted in the provided sticky will also be deleted. So far we are just cleaning out the older stuff on the later pages (page 30 and later). Anything else will be figured out later....an initial filtering-out cleanup is our main goal. Anything questionable will be locked until we decide. If a thread is locked and you need it, PM one of us.

This section will work a bit differently than other sections of jdorama. When people sell and ask looking for titles, eventually they sell or find it. So when the post is old, still there, and they aren't selling anymore, it's basically wasting space. So this is why we're cleaning With less pages and more current information, people can better navigate and find helpful information.....sou darou?

Thanks for all of your cooperation in advance....suggestions and comments welcome.

Althought we are fairly laisez-faire about the contents of this section, we will not however, tolerate spamming. If you got JPN media you'd like to trade or sell, do it here, by all means. But if you got stuff that is in no way shape or form related to anything with asian media, that post will be deleted or locked WITHOUT WARNING!!

Mad props on the clean-up, kou-chan. Another thing I'd like to add for the traders/sellers posts:
If you want to post, please, in the subject title, be more specific, so when someone do a SEARCH/LOOK-UP, it will come up with a list, for example:

instead of putting a subject of:
Malaysian Trader, or VCD for sale

why don't you think about putting instead:
Malaysian Trader - List inside
VCD for sale - Hero - subtitled

================================================

Also You may want to put brackets over what is it that you want. some examples:
[JMovie wanted] Blah, blah, blah
[Kdrama trade] Blah, blah, blah
[Canto-pop Req] Blah, blah, blah

Well, i think you all get the gist of it.

Just like in EBAY/Auctions, the more specific the subject, the better the search results. This is to help you sell/buy/serch for stuff. Just my 2 �~...
_________________

Did a little more cleaning.....I'm pretty much done with it all Anything questionable has been locked, and all for sale posts that looked old, had multiple newer threads, and/or had no replies have been deleted. We'll hopefully be adding some helpful stickies soon

To avoid possible confusion and stray BT seed requests, I've renamed the sticky "BT Requests" to "BT Seed Requests". Let's see if it works I could see how it might be misconstrued... Anyhoo, testing it out

Renamed "trader reviews" sticky to "trader and seller reviews" since sellers are reviewed there occasionally too. I thought it would be helpful to keep all feedback together and labeled appropriately.

Can everyone PLEASE post in the appropriate threads when asking for a seed or selling VCD's?? There are separate stickies for both of them! That way it's easier for us to keep track of and everyone knows to look in one place when looking for something or if they can help seed for someone Yoroshiku...

Hey guys, I'm probably gonna be missing for a bit of time. It seems my hard drive is gonna completely die any day now. If I'm not around, that means I don't have computer access. Please play nice on the forum while I'm away Thanks!

I'm back now, please give me some time to get reconfigured and back into the swing of things again......it's been almost 2 months since I've touched a computer or been online, let alone modded this forum and done things here in my leisure. Thanks and it's good to be back!
