Closing of Classifieds - demise of Toymods

[trdee]

As per FB, see above. There is still a toyotas for sale and parts wanted section

If all you use the forums for is to buy and sell parts though, then I am sorry but you are not our priority anyway. We aren't paying thousands of dollars a year to be a free classifieds website. That is what gumtree is for. We hope people stay here for the tech talk and to participate in ride threads etc, but the classifieds just aren't working the way they used to on forums and we needed to make a change. TBH forums in and of themselves are struggling for relevance these days, so we need to shake things up and see what works and what doesn't

+1 from me , but the buy/sell section is the least of bookface angst.

i just posted on the facebook page just then but came arcoss this post just now.

Ive been apart of Toymods since the original forums page before the crash and have enjoyed the forums for many years, but i must say im not a fan of the change to move the classified section onto the face book page, due to the fact that there are not category on facebook. So bascily too me there is just a massive list of items forsale in a massive line.
SO unless your on facebook 24/7 its really easy to miss lots of items and takes to much time to sort though.

Due to this i will possibly move on else were for buying and selling of items

I agree with the above sentiment. Moving to Facebook just improves their algorithms and they will control buy and sell in the future. Anyone can multilist anyway. Those of us who are a bit older (35+) probably prefer the forum and the traffic is lost for specialist stuff. My 2c
