This is why I only ever make one general-titled selling thread. If however in the meantime, I decide to buy something that I don't see a thread for, or already know of a seller that I trust, then I'll make a new thread for whatever I'm buying. Once either my stuff sells, or I've bought whatever it was I wanted, I make sure to go back and edit my thread appropriately, and wipe any pertinent information for that transaction off the thread. It's both safer that way, and looks neater as far as I'm concerned.

well when someone has over 60 things to sell etc its gonna be hard to fit into one board. i know what you are talking about which is why i try to cram my stuff into as little boards as possible but i personally NEED the 3 boards...i mean if i listed all my ets for sale, all my accts, all my hashes, unregs, UC pets, converted pets, random accounts, NC items, etc (the list never ends) in one board very few people would take the time to read the monster board..the 3 boards allows me to break it into an neopoint selling thread, account/pet/gambling thread and then a quicksale thread on things i want gone. just my 2 bits though...its more for the traders who have hundreds if not thousands of $ worth of shit to sell....hard to list it all in one board while still getting everyone to read the whole board..
In my opinion, 3 is the right ammount.
Not too much, but not too little.
We get off the first page because our trading section is very active, not only because some users we have more than 1 selling thread

Maybe the number of displayed thread could be increased on the trading forum? Not sure how easy or difficult that would be but it could be another way of looking at things...
I know what you're saying about bumping your board after 5 hours, only to find yourself at the end of the page 2 minutes later, but that's the way it goes unfortunately
It just makes you stay more ctive, bump your board every 5 hours. It's activity motivation xD. Yes I usually have 2 or 3 threads, but iot's not threads I'd like to combine. My thread would be a COMPLETE mess
I don't mind seeing people have a couple of trade threads if the content is different, what I don't like is when they have multiple threads selling almost the exact same stuff or when a user is quick selling something for 3 weeks.
You can request to have them locked but I usually don't delete them because I like to have them there for evidence. If you were scammed at least your old board is there and might be able to be used as proof in a dispute.
And if you see someone who you think is abusing the trading section by having so many threads you can always report it and if staff agrees they would take care of it.
