A WANT Board?

Postby salinity » Sun Dec 21, 2008 1:38 am

I see ALOT of posts asking for one specific pet. Usually they're mixed in with the trading posts. I was thinking it might be a good idea for a want board. So if someone is looking for a specific pet they go there, post the pet they want and show what they will trade. I just think that the trading board is for trading multiple pets, not just one. =P

I kinda like this idea...though maybe it should be a Wishlist board, where people can post their wishlists, so that it doesn't look like begging? ^^

I have a wishlist as well but sometimes I like to know what my friends are currently "want"ing so that I can help them hunt for the pets they want :3

But if you're searching a specific pet, you'll trade for it. So it belongs to the trades.
And no one wants to trade, if s/he's not wanting anything.

Yes, but I thought it might be better to have a want board that way you don't have to have everything all together. I just thought that it might be a bit easier to have a specific board for ONE specific pet.
I didn't mean like you can't have a wishlist, I meant like the posts I see like this:
WANTED: ANGEL DOG
Want Joker!!!
WILL TRADE THIS ADVENT FOR THIS ADVENT
Want Black Advent!

Stuff like that... =P

You know, this sounds like a good idea for a fansite.

Have a picture of all the pets in CS. When the picture is clicked, it takes you to a list of user names looking for that pet.

Click on their user name and it takes you a list of what they have to offer for this pet. It would be all user-input. You type in your name and a good description of what you would trade for it.

That sounds really cool! But I still wonder how hard the code for that would be...

If shian's idea could be implemented that would make it work. Otherwise it would actually make it harder to trade for things, seeing as people would want to be able to have options and the "want" subforum would be simply too specific and my bet would be that people would just skip over it a lot of the time.

Actually, it sounds like a basic emergency egg site for the drag cave.

Hmm... I can see how to input it, but the only way I can think of to take it off again would be a site mod That might not work so well.
