Just an idea
I'm not entirely sure who codes for this site, and I'm willing to bet this idea has been brought up before, but has anyone considered making a world-based chat section? I often see threads asking for specific prices in specific worlds or posts about specific players that people outside of that world wouldn't really understand. So if there was, say, a Windia section, people could post about Windia prices and Windia people there.
Good idea? Bad idea? Need clarification because I'm pretty sure I explained that poorly?

@BobR: Ah, alright thanks Bob.
@Ecarina That's been suggested in the past and with more activity on the site it could be a good idea, but unfortunately with the playerbase in Maplestory way down and Basilmarket activity slowing also, it would probably end up with a lot of dead forum sections, kind of like the 'dead worlds" problem in the game itself.
@fun2killu: Not gonna lie, I didn't understand what you just said. I just thought it made sense for sections to be separated by world for topics pertaining specifically to that world.
[quote=Ecarina]Yeah that's true, I was mostly just thinking in terms of not spamming the main chat with stuff that a fraction of the people will be able to answer.[/quote]
I could see your idea working if it was a time based story type addition. Like you make a post similar to the stories, but it has a time restriction of 5/10 mins. The story stays in your basil id area after the time expires. This way, we can not spam the main chat and have our questions answered.
[quote=fun2killu]honestly that's a bad idea. The person can just indicate which world he is in. If we create world-based chats, then that just alienates lower populated worlds.
Also, with more threads, the less likely chance there would be for it to reach the front page and be seen by more people.[/quote]
