just as the topic says... KEep it a TRADING CARD site.  Eliminate the pricing. lol lol . No Emoji's.. to much junk..

I bought a major website domain that one day we will do something with.

Trading cards does not mean the cards can only be traded for other cards -- if cards can be traded for money, that would still make them trading cards. And for the traders, whenever people say its not about the money, ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. For some reason I believe Stephen A. Smith came up with that quote, if he did, that really is a fantastic accomplishment because it is so true in so many different situations; its a quote that will live on for centuries. 

I hope to come up with one quote like that in my lifetime. The best I've come up with is "Being right is overrated." If anyone likes that, feel free to use it and I just ask that it be attributed to "a wise man"; I don't need specific attribute.

I love the site. A lot. Because the work is done by folks who wish to be helpful and make the site better for everyone, I'm reluctant to criticize anything here. But I think this is a good suggestion. I wouldn't mind allowing the collections of inactive members (because the amount of people who have particular cards is good information, especially letting us know what's being collected a lot or a little). But when I'm searching for a particular card that someone might be willing to trade, it's frustrating to see that (a) they haven't logged on in forever or (b) they haven't traded at all here. 

I don't know how many times I've seen someone post something brilliant that really made me wish there was a "like" button.

Polls would be cool, if for no other reason just to get discussions going. 

I like the idea of showing # of trades too but other than for curiosity I'm not sure I see the true value of that one.  I've clicked on users who have threads about hitting milestone numbers of trades but they don't have any matches with me.  Then I'll click on users with only a handful of trades and find I have a lot of matches so it's really hit or miss.  Mostly I'll either search users who have specific cards I'm hunting down or use the trade matching report.

Have you suggested any of these on the new feature section?  If so you should link to them so the rest of us can rate them as far as our own priorities.

Somehow do wantlist matching on sites like comc, buysportscards, etc.  It'd be really nice to shop and only see what I don't already have.

If you click on your name in the top right of the site and then pick "Collection" about half way down is a trade matching report that will show all the users and the number of matches you have between you both.  Makes it very easy to match for trading.

Make it so you can save your forum posts occassionally as u write them.......I had so many good thoughts....and they all disappeared.

Oh.....and spell check.
