Build your user base. Once webmasters are comfortable using the system and use it regularly - then change it.
Again, just a suggestion  |
I don't require them to use my internal messaging system to communicate. Someone can make a classified ad post and put their icq or email on it and I am not going to delete it or censor it out. I would prefer people to use my system so it will cut down on spam they may get from posting that info publicly, but it is up to them to decide if they want to do it or not.
The actual signup to the site part takes at most 60 seconds. Signup, copy and paste your ad that you have probably posted on a messageboard or some where else, you looking at about 3 - 4 minutes tops.
In some cases the person who wants to respond to an add wont have to signup, i kind of leave that up to the person who made the classified ad (if he displayed his contact info or not). If someone wants to reply and there is no contact info displayed, again it takes about 60 seconds to make an account
so i am not asking for much ( i hope not lol).
I'll play it by ear and see how this goes and make changes if this isn't working out. Thanks for the feedback.
