So every ladder reset, one of the things that always made me say "dag nabbit" was when I had a very elaborate trade thread that would get deleted once servers went down.

Now, before all you nay sayers come in and say oh boo hoo Fatal, just do this, let me point out that although I KNOW I could do the following things, it would be convenient not to.

1) Quote the post and keep the page open before servers go down and subsequently the ladder forums become inaccessible so that you can just copy paste it over to an NL thread
2) Copy/paste the quote into a text document and store/save on your computer/laptop
3) Rewrite/post the thread on NL
4) Google the thread in the case that somewhere in some cache it is still available
5) Spend the next 5 years searching the "2011" (still don't understand why it isn't the present year) archives to find the thread and use the guide of "how to quote any post [even in closed threads]" to remake the thread.

Also, please do not suggest that I just post the thread on NL before the forums become accessible because I personally feel it would be in direct violation of the following rule

"Do not offer fg/items you don't have."

Even though I technically HAVE the items, they are not on the same realm or w/e. Even if I said, 'hey btw these are on ladder but will be on NL once servers go up', it would still violate this other rule

"Do not trade items cross games/realms/cores."



SO

My idea. I think that when ladder servers go down, rather than archiving all of ladders threads, they instead be relocated to NL. People who choose not to continue the threads on NL can either post a request to have it closed or just simply let it die and have the jsp system maintenance (which I imagine exists as an automated software) to archive the thread.

This would be similar to the idea of ladder characters being moved to the NL realm.

Appreciate the votes, explanations for votes, and love

Bump

Bump

doesnt sound to hard Yes for me would save some time

Yes, didn't understand why everything got archived to begin with personally.

Maybe have a check box available on the day before the Reset for people to check off threads to be sent to Non Ladder instead of staying on ladder would work as well. Since i assume they archive them because of all the low cost items that no one is going to be able to sell on NL because they are so flooded with them already.

No

Yes it's a great idea - anything that makes listing more efficient and less time consuming is a good thing - speaking of such things where is awwctiva (this is not the correct spelling) for jsp?




Why no?

Thats a good thought. Check, submit, auto moved to NL.

agreed
and b/c he's a debby downer i guess
can't win em all!

voted NO, just re-make the topic !

Prices can be different in non-ladder and not every thread benefits from this.

Seems like a good idea but it's mostly non-practical, just remake the thread if you're going to keep selling in NL.

What would be a good idea is to be able to choose whether or not the thread would be transferred, but I can imagine it's a lot of coding for an event that only occurs every 6 months.
