Opening the new swapsell site

Guys/gals, I created a forum much like the structure of this one for a more organized swapsell format than chat. I'm going to open it today. It is by no means a finished product, but I want to keep it simple for the time being until I see where it goes. Registration, like any other forum, is required. I will have to follow up with an approval. I'm hoping to keep the garbage out this way. I can also IP ban and I have no problems being bored and banning whole proxy address scopes. This is the link:

Thank you for checking it out, if you choose to, and I welcome all constructive feedback!

I know you'll be tough but fair Wot! :lol: Good luck there is a need for a dedicated swapsell board I think. A few random thoughts:

After the reddit ban & youtube purge there was much discussion about a "new board". A website needs content, but more than that, people... It's very hard to move people away from reddit & facebook.

I guess we've got around 100 brave souls on voat. But just like here, lots of lurkers... the Vendor List will be moving off voat.

MeWe is having all kinds of drama. Today it was fake Alt accounts accusing others of bullshit.. it seems like the Swap isn't taking off, for whatever reason? So maybe there's an opportunity. Good luck! :D

Hey Ballz! I just finished linking to your Voat site on a kratom FAQ I've been working on. If/when your list home changes, could you let me know so I can update the links? A lotta lotta people depend on those, bro, and you're doing the work of angels. So let us know when and where they go. Thanks!

And best of luck to you, Wot! This might be the opportunity you were looking for. And a dedicated swapsell site would be -awesome-. Good luck!

Where are you putting the vendor list, Ballz?

I reference it pretty often. :)

Hey all, sorry that I was delayed today, approving everyone. I literally tried to get fired today at work because it was so stressful, but they wouldn't do it. I don't know if that's good or bad, lol.

Is everyone starting with new Flair or are you moving the flair over from r/flairswap?

HH, I figured out a way to connect and edit flair on a username, so I will be moving it over from reddit. Of course, I can't really test it yet, because no one will post in the forum.

I was at peace for a brief minute there, thinking that I could absolutely win my case at unemployment AND have the whole summer to myself, fishing for free. Ahhhhh, wot a nice dream that was....
