The Community Board is meant to help people advertise but there is 2 issues with this.
- 1st Issue
It's way too costly, the idea is to either spend a little money to advertise so you can make more money or buy something but there is no way you will make $1000 in 1 week by posting there.
I would suggest making it a 2 page board where you can pay $200 to post on the first page or $100 to post on the second or just $100 to post and if it almost gets full regularly up the price a little.
not only will this make it more affordable but the more ads that are up will make it more popular and useful
- 2nd Issue
it's not really advertised anywhere, I think it would be good to advise that people check it out in those public server messages that show up. something like;
If you are looking to buy or sell items, check out the market, community boards or auction house.
/market, /cb, /ah
- Another Option
Could be to add an advertising shop or /buy/sell forum on this site encouraging more people to come check out the forums (obviously a public server message spam would help)
-End
I am a good numbers cruncher and would also be open to going through other aspects of the server that you or I think needs changing eg. /market
Thank you for reading through my advice and I hope you consider and apply your input
