Here is a can of worms....If I owned the forum I would....

[howard38]

I'd make thumbs up and thumbs down tabs so we wouldn't have to make an entire post just to type +1.

Make it a requirement for bst sellers to have their names listed. And prices. And scans

[Rookiemonster]

But I wouldn't mind seeing the contest include cards besides prewar/ baseball. Maybe some football,postwar, and even modern.

Also how about a hot or not list ? For cards or sets that are on the up tick or down tick. Like the Cracker Jack sets would be hot now. But we could have seen it climbing. I remember when I first joined there was a tread about buying the greeen t206 Cobb and Lou Gehrigs rookie. We all know that those thread proved to be correct.

I also like the thumbs up idea or down. ����

[clydepepper]

I would limit the back-and-forth squabbles between two individual members so that no particular thread gets bogged down by such inane stuff.

I would create a separate area for supposedly 'non-BST' transactions other than the main page - though I do realize that I do not ever have to open "the thread" anyway.

Thank goodness we don't have to try to save cyberspace like we have trees (i.e. 'going green') - so, as inappropriate as I find that particular "the thread" to be, it probably doesn't matter that much...and, yes, I have taken my medication.

I was going to say nothing, but I like the idea of some kind of feedback system. I think the large majority of members are solid, trustworthy people and I've never had any problems but it wouldn't hurt

I don't know how many purchases or sells I've done on here (probably 100 or so) but I have never had a problem or issue on here. Even with the prevailing PP FF payment option.

This site seems like the adult site... compared, say, to Blowout.com.

I buy and sell here at ease. No worries.

I have made friends across the country on here (Seattle to Boca Raton) and have learned so much information - especially in the T206 area.

Honestly, I have no suggested inprovements to list.

One ticky tacky thing I would do would be to move up the Post War Discussion board on the home page so that its in the same section with the Pre War Discussion board and Memorabilia page.

I feel like the Post War board gets lost way down there and that ultimately impedes traffic and growth of that board. I know there is an emphasis on this being a PRE War board, but I think separating the POST War board from stuff like Modern and Golf would put an nice in-between step to help emphasize VINTAGE.

Sure, many users just click the "view new posts" link, but it wouldn't hurt to group the postwar, modern, and other sports forums a little higher on the main page for visibility and (hopefully) increased traffic to those areas.

I have highlighted the things I agree with, and to be honest, when I first joined this site, I was confused where the home page was?

I also always wondered why Post War was way below, under the water cooler section. Always thought, as was suggested, it should be up top as well. I also think the water cooler sections should be at the bottom.

Also, and I am not sure how easy this is, or any of it for that matter, but I get frustrated when members are talking about card and/or memorabilia at certain auction houses but they don't link the site. If it is possible, it would be great to have those links somewhere available just so one could see all the current auctions that are beginning or already in progress.

Other than those, I don't have anything. I like the site and certainly wouldn't complain to Leon about any of them, but as suggestions, I personally think these would be great improvements or upgrades.

This. Some kind of system where we can leave comments. Every transaction I've made on this site has been smooth and relatively easy. But it would be nice to know others had a good experience with someone I don't know but am considering doing business with.

+1

I always appreciate reading a well thought out informative post. So in return I'd like to somehow thank that poster for their efforts without adding clutter to the board. A simple +1 or thanks or thumbs up, etc. button would be nice.

Outlaw the personal attacks or, better yet, start a separate section for personal attacks. That way we don't have to deal with it in the original thread. It would be like the good old days - "if you two can't get along, take it outside into the parking lot."

Not saying it's a bad idea, but if there was a Net54 parking lot, we might need to have a physician on call.

I agree with starting a separate page for a "Fight Club." I know many people are not interested in the internicene bickering that occassionally goes on. But instead of banning it, I say let them vent it in a controlled environment instead of ruining other threads. Keep the old rule of having to put your name to negative posts on this new page. Maybe add a few other rules.

Then the people who hate this kind of on-line fighting NEVER have to click onto the "Fight Club" page. While those with grievances, vendettas, agendas, or simply the desire to "witness" a disagreement/spectacle can have their needs met also.

Yes, and if this is your first time clicking on "Fight Club," you have to fight.

Create a section for the best threads of all time, so I don't have to do a long search when I need to relive The Bruces suing themselves.

[obcbobd]

Thicken up my skin.

Seriously, perhaps introduce a "time out" or "penalty box". When two guys start going at it back and forth or someone is being a bit of a jerk, they would be unable to post for two weeks. During that time they would hopefully cool off and realize this is a hobby and should be fun.

[Buythatcard]

If I owned the forum, I would not allow AH's or anyone else promote their auctions in the main section.

I would create a separate section for all to advertise their wares free of charge.

I would love to see every auction house listed who sells cards. The auction report reminds me when auctions are about to end. I think if we had a section just for auction houses and their auction dates, that every member would check it daily.

[cardsnstuff]

I guess if we are adding to the website and our two cents;

1. I would like to see a realized prices section, where people can post actual sold prices for things that VCP doesn't cover.
   
2. I would also like to see a bad ebay/Forum trader page, like blowout has, where people could post their NPB and the such & or scammer alerts.
   
3. I think member feedback is a great idea, although I have only posted one item in the BST; I may start though.
   
4. and lastly a separate section for show off your collection or the monthly pickups, and maybe a suggestions for improvement section.
