[QUOTE="PennyGuy, post: 647917, member: 17502"]I voted on this subject and commented favorably early on. Since then I have followed each post, and am reconsidering my original position. As the risk of being added to the "undignified opinion" list, I share the concerns that this has the potential to fundamentally change CoinTalk. If the objective is to move toward a full commercial buy/sell site one must admit that the change potential is great. Along with a commercial operation it would be reasonable to expect strong personalities and opinions to emerge. We can expect to attract a number of new members drawn by the marketplace opportunity alone. This is where I see the biggest threat to CoinTalk. I see two main options for a buy/sell function. One, incorporate into the existing CoinTalk framework, setting those rules/policies deemed necessary to minimize disruption to the current flavor of the site. And, two, to add the commercial functions as a parallel to the CoinTalk function. Pro's and Con's abound, in the details, for both thoughts. Overall, as I see the risk to the existing CoinTalk function I believe a slow introduction of the commercial aspect would be approporiate.[/QUOTE]
