Trade

[Skiz]

So why not do away with the trading section?

Why would we?

If they got rid of the trading section it wouldn't get rid of the traders. They'd still be here, but they'd just pretend not to be traders, like they do on other forums. Like it, or not, why not at least have it out in the open where you can see it?

Even here it's like an iceberg where the greater mass is not visible.I do agree though that getting rid of the trade section would have very little effect on trading and make the place if anything more potentially "dangerous " for people not of that particular bent.

There's that too.

And now that I've thought of it, I think it woouldn't be a good idea to get rid of it. A lot of people on the outside (or on other BT forums) think the same as the OP, that FST supports trading. Those who come here to find out for themselves that that's not the case. I should know, I was one of them more than a year and a half ago. Those who'd rather go with the general opinion wouldn't fit in here anyway.

To answer Skizo's question, because trading does more bad than good in general. Like I said, I do understand that people would continue to trade privately.
