Craigslist finds section!
 

Do it! How about a section for strictly craigslist ads? Post up some links you think other people would be interested in? That way there would be none posted in the f/s section and would make craigslist searching better... Just an idea.

:klab:

i like it kevin

Maybe just do a sticky instead of a whole forum?

We have one on another forum I moderate and it works out good. Keeps things less cluttered.

yeah im thinkin along the lines of Alex here and making a sticky'd thread in the F/S section.

I was thinking about this idea today and I'm not quite sure what would be the best way to consolidate Craigslist links. The only snag is that an ad on Craigslist will only be around for a few weeks at the most, so whether we made a sticky or a separate sub forum it will quickly turn into a collection of mostly obsolete links. And trying to prune it to include only current ads would be a lot of work. So I just wanted to bring this back up and see if anyone had any suggestions for how we could create a space for Craigslist finds that wouldn't turn into a mess.

is there any way to make the section delete a thread after so much time

thats what i was thinking. i should be able to do that. make a sub forum in the lounge. and the rules or promotions of that thread wopuld be it auto prunes threads after say 2 weeks of in activity. and the reason i say inactivity is because even if the add is gone people could still be talking about it for what ever reason. or like always its a post whoring thread haha and rather keep it if its active then to have it just disappear out of the blue. SOOO im gunna look into that and see what i can come up with.

I'm not feeling the sticky idea... It would be harder to find things or search, it would just be one long never ending thread, where if it was a section you could actually browse through different titles.

Which ever option would allow the auto pruning that Pizza suggested would be the best.

UPDATE!?!?! Just make a whole section titled craigslist finds, and each new thread in that section can be a craigslist find. They don't have to be auto deleted! :wammbulance:

Make a damn clist finds section!!! I'm always finding shit people could use but dont wanna post it in the for sale section and fuck everyones posts up!!! Make a damn sub section!!! sessh!

eat shit!

:shitstirrer:

Making up a batch for Kev :haha:

I agree with Kev on this one. There should be a sub section.

It already exists. Jeez Navy try to keep up!!! :haha:

Oh. My bad!!!!

I think it should be a sub section of the cars/parts fs section... not the loungeee :P

Well you just want everything on a silver fuckin platter dontcha??? :tapfoot:

Actually a lot of the Craigslist posts are of a comical nature so I think the lounge is a good place for it.

okay okay sounds good...

Maybe it might actually make sense to have both, one in the classifieds for useful stuff and one in the lounge for trainwrecks

yeah thats what i was thinking. But if its someone here selling something and has an add to post up they usually do it in the FS section and then link to it. and i say legit CL finds should go in the FS section. Maybe a sub section.. i dunno how i feel about it yet.

Tell us all about your feelings :p

cl ads finds like my k member ad i found in the fs section and make one for the lounge if you want craigslist failures or something. I intended for it to be more of a way to post up parts for people to kind of help out the searching, like see something someone could use post it up in there where people are usually looking anyways.
