Sorry for the offtopic, but isnt it prohibited to have a text line and a banner in your sig? The rule is 3 text line or 1 banner if I remember correctly
Not for SG - that is an inhouse staff member.

@BassTrackerBoats BHW 2.0... will it remove all old threads? There are some gems hidden in here.

I will give this recommendation. Get rid of the stale VIP forum and just have ONE forum. You can still have VIP status; which entitles that person to not pay a 5-10% premium on services offered by other members on here that gets funneled to the forum. Damien can use the extra cash to make this forum better for everyone.

No, content is the life blood of a forum and removing it can be detrimental to it's SEO.
Plus you are right... there is some real gold in some of the threads.

Why so? Why BHW should force discounts? This is complicated thing because requires gathering data from businesses. More serious business will just avoid BHW to not share their stats and niches.
Marketplace should stay as it is. Full flexibility for sellers, including payment methods.

Majority of sites that outsource some sort of services to freelancers all follow that model as it has been proven repeatedly.

So how you do that? In your situation, seller will be BHW - fully responsible for taxes and frauds. This is very big thing. Also how to avoid PayPal? You think that forum will have main PayPal for payments? It will get limited in 1 day for breaking TOS, fraudulent refunds, etc.
I say NO for such things. It's good for buyers but not for sellers. For example I will never accept PayPal on BHW for expensive services because it's asking for fraudulent refunds.

You have to give something back to who purchase Jr.VIP status and that's why VIP forum. And I think forum can give discount from forum product not from members product/service.

Never mind if they change the theme or not but it would be better if they replace old moderators and give a chance for new persons. So, we can get a chance to moderate new projects and learn new things. Or even keep the old moderators and choose some persons randomly and give a chance.

What is the age limit you think we should impose?
I'm pushing the envelop a bit and want to make sure I stay under the threshold.

In my post, I'm talking purely about the style of the forum.
The style just looks outdated and in my opinion, can use an upgrade/overhaul, I'm reading about BHW 2.0 so let's see what that brings!
Talking about changes I like to see besides the style, it would be great if the recent threads are not only prohibited to the first page but continues to for instance 5 of those pages. This way we can browse through all the recent threads beyond page one and find many more recent threads that have been updated.

@BassTrackerBoats thank you for your quick reply. In IM age is not considered. Old is always GOLD. You should be a head of all new moderators and guide us. Before we as a new moderator approve any thread we always take your suggestions.

I'm the bottom of the barrel when it comes to the Mods here... the rest of the staff is so far above me in knowledge and skill sets it makes me look like a Noob on Digital Point.
