Hi there.
I would like to submit a recommendation/suggestion for the BST section. Let me please start by saying while some of this may come across as complaining, my purpose here is to hopefully make some suggestions that would make this already great site even better. I frequent several forums as I am a fan of GI Joe, Star Wars, Transformers, Masters Of the Universe, Costuming, Airsoft and a lot more. One of the great things about many if not all of these forums is the ability to go to the BST section and either buy things, trade for things you need, or simply get rid of things you dont. All of the forums I go to...except this one...allow you to make more than one Thread. Some put regulations of anywhere from 2-7 days, others state that the thread must clear a certain page before posting another, while some allow as many as you want as long as they are different enough. But my point is, ALL of them allow more than one thread per person. Let me just state, that I see Hisstank get's a LOT of traffic in the BST area. So I TOTALLY understand that SOME type of restriction is required. Here are my suggestions and why: 1) Please allow for more than one thread per person. a. This allows a seller/buyer/trader to be specific about what what he/she has to offer. --ex. "General Hawk's BST List" is great if all you have is GI Joe stuff. But "Masterpiece Megatron FToS W: MCC" is going to get people's attention that want Megatron and/or have an MCC to part with", and make our time that much more successful. Whereas "General Hawk's BST List" might just get overlooked by that same person. Fail. b. This allows people to quickly scan the threads if they are looking for something(s) specifically. (and we all could use to save time) I know I personally dont like going through every list (and wont) in hopes someone has a specific (name your brand) toy I'm looking for. And if I already have a "BST Generic" thread, I cant make a post looking specifically for "Such and Such a toy". Know what I mean? Seriously, when I was told I could no longer make more than one thread, I all but stopped using Hisstank for trading. Which (for me at very least) sucks. I LOVED trading on here. I had GREAT success trading on here and I met a lot of friends doing so. But now it is too much of a hassle because I have to ask a mod every time I want to post something new or different that I have or am looking for. I doubt I am alone in this. (I mean, I would be having to ask them (a mod) almost once, if not more often, every week to change my thread titles. Which, yes, is doable, but you end up feeling like you are bugging the mod. Or more so, it's extra hassle. Why alter my whole thread, and ask a mod to change the title and then wait on their response when I can just go some place else and post my thread?) 2) If allowing more than one thread is not an option Hisstank would like to consider right now, then how about simply allowing users the ability to change their own thread titles. Then it would simply be a matter of altering and then bumping our own threads. I have seen this also on other forums, and it was very successful. It would still only allow each member to have one thread, but at least they could quickly alter their thread to fit their needs and do so quickly with less hassle. Again, I am sure I am not alone in this. And it has frustrated me for several months now because I really liked using HT for my BST purposes. Its such a great community! I hope this doesnt come across as whining or complaining. I really love this site and its community and I'd like to see it grow and become even better! Thanks for taking the time to read and consider this. Please chime in all who agree with these recommendations. I'm sure there are even some Mods out there who are tired of all the "please change my thread" requests. hehe. Thanks all! Yo Joe!

We are working on this, actually before you posted. Some change similar to what you listed should be implemented once we work the final aspects of it out. Hold tight.
