Taiwanted is back in Forumosa!

We're going to be rolling out a brand-new Taiwanted.com very soon, but until it's up and running, feel free to post your classified ads here. A few reminders:
*All ads are 100% free! :discodance:
*Please post each ad once - multiple posts will be deleted.
*Ads will automatically expire after 30 days.
*Taiwanted is not a discussion forum, it's a place for people to post their ads without fear of off-topic replies or sarcasm. Be respectful. If you see something amiss, please contact admin(at)forumosa.com.

That's a nice solution Maoman. Elegant in its simplicity, form and function.

What do you call that section where people write stuff like:

. Our eyes met on the MRT on the train between Technology Station and Da'an Park. You were wearing a short red miniskirt and black leggings. You were primping your hair and gazing at your reflection. I was the guy with slicked back hair, sun glasses and an Iphone. I was rocking my head to some beats. PM me cellphone number!

Sorry bro I just replied to an ad in a witty vein by mistake :roflmao: ....why not disable replies so people can communicate by PM?

I think that a discussion of the ad can drive interest. For example:
"Does your car have tinted windows?"
"Yes, but the tint isn't very dark"
"Can you wait until the end of the month to sell it?"
"No, I've got to sell it by the end of the week - I'm heading back to the States on Saturday."


This kind of on-topic discussion would be welcomed, I think.

But having a discussion in the jobs forum is not so helpful. I posted an ad last night for my husband's company stating clearly that pay won't be very high (I don't know what the pay is, but my husband suggested writing that so people expecting very high salaries won't waste their time preparing applications), and of course, right away, along comes the comment about pay. It's put me off posting job opportunities.

Hi asiababy - I deleted the unhelpful post and locked the topic - people will still be able to see your post, but they won't be able to comment.

And please don't be put off posting jobs in the future - this is a stopgap measure only - we've got a new system in development that we want to roll out soon.

Maoman, I agree with asiababy. You need to make it clear whether those threads are for OPs only or for discussion. I've noticed a few going south very quickly recently. Either they're totally open or they're totally closed.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but this is not the first time you've said this.

For an example of why this (the marriage of Taiwanted and Forumosa) isn't such a good idea, check out the thread from the individual trying to sell a 100 GB external hard drive. It's been amusing watching the OP flame out, but really, not why we're all here....I think.... :2cents:

Is anyone else having a hard time reading the font in the Taiwanted ads on Forumosa?

Yeah, it's a bit wacky. I think it's using a font that not all of us have and our computers are substituting something else.
