Hey Bonanza,
I’m an old timer around here. I surely do miss the Section where sellers can talk everyday stuff. can you please reconsider bringing it back in 2018?

Thanks!

I miss that too!

I me three. :) It was a fun part of every day to come check in.

Unfortunately there was too much drama and moderators were required to police them, so I doubt they would do this. Perhaps a Facebook group would work?

rapidreader, not everyone uses facebook… As for the idea, I think it would be great – miss that, too.

It was fun!

So nice for people to give a negative when the OP is asking for something politely. Hers is an opinion, not a 100% fact answer.

There’s needs to be a happy medium in the forms. Yes, the old ones were extreme but the new ones are way too much oppressed.

When I came here I hoped for forums for dedicated handmades discussions. Was told that there used to be. Sometimes I am reluctant to post those subjects here, because there seems to be so many technical problems shared. Seems like my post would get lost and unnoticed, so I don’t bother.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention @Norma!

I’ll pass this along to our team to see if we can make this happen. I can’t make any promises, but it never hurts to ask! If you haven’t already, I recommend posting the idea on our forum feedback [URL removed]

I’ve mentioned this a couple of times in forum posts here and have received enthusiastic comments/support from some sellers. I’ve been encouraged to submit the idea as feedback. I just left the feedbacks page, Thurs 12/14/17, where I searched for submissions on this subject. The best submission was declined in 2013. Other similar submissions have also been declined. Not going to waste my vote on suggesting it.

It must have been something pretty serious that caused the general selling/crafting/chatting forums to be shut down by Bonz admin, and to cause them to not consider re-opening them, or launching new ones.

I AM sorry and disappointed about that, but going to accept it and let it go.

To Answer Brilliantly

Remember these tips:

  • Use links to other sources to support your opinions
  • Use examples where possible
  • Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?

Should I post a comment or an answer?

You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?

Post an answer for:

  • Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question

Post a comment for:

  • "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
  • When you would like the original poster to provide more details
  • When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
