Add sub forums in the Premium Sellers Section - Vitani - Jul 21, 2018

Currently, If you visit the Premium Sellers Section, you'll see a ton of active threads.
If a member is searching for something specific it can prove difficult to find all the vendors of that product/service and be able to compare them because of the amount of threads active in this section.

My suggestion: Create additional sub forums in the Premium Sellers Section & move certain threads to the another section.

I'm confident that there's enough activity for certain types of products to warrant their own section. For the products that do not fall under this category, we can of course keep using the PSS itself.
Example: The Cryptography and Encryption Market sub forum is active enough to have their own section, but not so active that it becomes cluttered with threads. You can still find your way in this section. I'd say the Hash Bounties section is a lot less active, with only 2 recently active threads with over 10 replies.

Aside from this, there are a lot of threads in the PSS section at the moment that could/should be somewhere else. The biggest example is boosting services. They could easily fit into the Social Networking Services section of the marketplace.

Some statistics:
  • Amount of threads active in PSS and PTP sections in the last 48 hours (today & yesterday): 178

Now to divide these threads into categories:

My ideas to solve this problem:
  • Create an Income/Money Making Method section.
  • Create an account boosting/checking/cracking section & move Social media boosting threads to the Social Networking Services section of the marketplace.
  • Create a section for (game) hacks/cheats/currency.
  • Create a section specifically for RATs/Botnets/Loggers/Miners.


    I'm confident this will be a fairly simple though major improvement to the PSS section and the marketplace as a whole. Let me know what you think!

Money making definitely needs its own section. So many threads with dollar signs in the title cluttering up PSS

I can understand why you wish for this to happen but I can not support this suggestion because it's much easier to just post in Premium Sellers which is the marketplace section with the most activity. This is the reason I do not post in other sections nor do I purchase paid stickies in sections that are more specific to my product, I don't feel the activity in those sections matches what Premium does.

I think that there are a lot of members just looking for something interesting to buy and that's often what the Premium Sellers is for, they look through it and see a bit of everything. Its good that way for sellers but definitely with your suggestion it would be more organized and perhaps better overall, I don't think any marketplace seller can reasonably support this suggestion though as it definitely could decrease sales and views on their threads.

You make a valid point, though I do think most users that visit the section are looking for something specific that they want to purchase.
If this were to be implemented I think it wouldn't harm sales or even thread views as users who want something specific would be able to find the threads associated with that specific product/service much easier, and users who are just looking to spend their money will still be able to see all threads with ease. (Roughly same amount of clicks)

I haven't exactly gone to the market or really utilized it enough. However, I read your suggestion and I completely agree to be honest. Good suggestion!

RE: Add sub forums in the Premium Sellers Section - TB12 - Jul 21, 2018

I love this idea, I actually often avoid the premium sellers section because it isn't organized at all. Hard to find something I actually want

RE: Add sub forums in the Premium Sellers Section - Biggy - Jul 21, 2018

Personally, whenever I check out the marketplace, I always wish it was more organized so I can sort through the crap to see stuff that I might be interested in.

So I definitely agree with this suggestion, however I definitely think there should be very few additional sub forums. Maybe 2-3 at most.

RE: Add sub forums in the Premium Sellers Section - Makaveli The Don - Jul 21, 2018

This is a good suggestion. Premium sellers gets a lot of traffic and this would open place for people to buy more stickies in sections that really fit their topic within the PSS. I do think It's not easy atm to find empty sticky spaces for popular sections like PSS.

I agree I hate when I see something and try to go back and find it scroll threw about 15 pages and cant find it.

RE: Add sub forums in the Premium Sellers Section - Darkwin - Jul 21, 2018

I agree with this overall the Premium Sellers section is cluttered.

RE: Add sub forums in the Premium Sellers Section - Evanescent - Jul 22, 2018

I too agree, too much competition which pulls down some good product's threads to bottom.

RE: Add sub forums in the Premium Sellers Section - Vitani - Jul 25, 2018

Thanks for the feedback so far guys. It's definitely interesting to see another users take on this.

@Omniscient, if you read this: The sectional rules of the PSS are missing the r00t upgrade.
