Don't knock it. The majority of us are VERRRRY happy to not have to call it "the site which shall not be named." Plus there are a lot of new people who didn't know about DB, so it's opening everyone up to a lot more potential sales.Addy|1317193292|3027670 said:It seems a bit silly to me as well. Admin was saying that if it's successful then they'll potentially start their own forum, but that seems odd as now that they've allowed us to mention DB and where our items are listed if they're on another website there's no need really, is there? The way they're currently allowing means admin gets all the glowing feedback about having listened to us without having to do any of the work as we're piggy backing off another site. Win-win.

Frankly, I don't blame the admins a bit for wanting to distance themselves from the actual sales end of things! And DB will gets more "hits" (and probably more listings) from this, so they win too.

Athenaworth pretty much summed it up for me. There are plenty of people here who don't know about DB. This is a great way to get information out to an even wider audience, which is certainly nice when you're trying to sell something.

Our intentions were simple. To allow users a way to sell and promote their own items, in a contained environment, as soon as possible.
Right now we simply do not have the resources to develop our own forum and/or monitor it. It's not that we do not want to. It's a matter of lack of resources. We are a very limited staff with limited budgets.
We hope you understand our reasoning behind it and will take it for what it is, us listening to our members and trying to make the forum a better place.
