I need IM marketplace alternatives.

Not Etsy or Amazon but internet marketing marketplaces.

Not OO since their marketplace isn't open.

Suggestions?
 
OK so I didn't want to respond with more until I knew it was OK to share but there's another one on BuSo.


I haven't used this one but guys like @Nargil use it. It mostly looks like people bumping their own threads but I take it they wouldn't be bumping it unless they were getting some sales right?
 
Most shutdown or got next to no traffic for example Warriorforum used to be pretty big in the past
Wafo going downhill happened real suddenly but after it got sold off it wasn't a surprise. Drop in posts and popular members leaving the site for Reddit and discord and the Wafo team didn't notice until it was too late.

Same with Wickedfire it used to be big but the owner got all greedy with that paywall shit and fucked the site up now it's not got any moderation and is spammed to death. I heard that one got sold off and I bet the new owners can't work out what happened.

BHW's been going in that direction too especially with them getting desperate for engagement and allowing AI posts but then they ban and demote their active members. People have been complaining all over Discords and TG about the drop in their sales and traffic on the forum so now it's only a matter of time for them too.

Bro I just hope one of these alternative marketplaces takes off. We need a break here.

I would agree.

Wickedfire used to be cool their is small one forget it's name but it's still okay not but small scale it's pretty good for small site.

BHW being going down hill for years most people left after the first owner sold and even the second owner I can recall getting chinned over selling to the current for team over turning pretty bad.

I used to chat with the last owner a bit on Facebook before

I know their lots more past great people gone but when you run ban people like @t0mmy or Blackhatlifter or smart people then the site itself left for people with no money or not into online stuff more just people selling the signature for the purpose of the site anymore.

This was like 15 years ago maybe less but when I used to use BHW on my first account it was completly different place for example I got paid like £250 for a small job since most of people were petty well or successful men and women a like from all around the wold more less.

I remember WickedFire. Had so much potential but eventually just fell off.

I think the same in some cases it reminds me of BHW before it went down the mad route

Wicked Fire was epic in it's day, some seriously smart minds on there and the trolling was on another level... shame it lost it's spark. I know a lot of the regulars there like my old pal CCarter moved to Builders Society... I think that's the name of it, could be mistaken but it was something similar.

*Edit: Just noticed someone posted the link to it on up the thread!
 
Builders Society
I’ve heard of this one before and have visited a few times as well. But something about it just doesn’t give me that “kick” anymore. I’m not sure if you know what I mean.
 
Could swear I have seen seen some listings from hackforums being flipped or resold over on shiny noggin world

Yeah it looks to be pretty dead on there now, I remember it being decent way back just after Wicked Fire died down as you had some solid minds from there head over to Builders, I don't see them there now though when I look.

Have you seen the BHW member count the last few months? There used to be thousands of people online and now it's frequently just around 300. I checked and most of the accounts are just 0 post lurkers or 20 post AI bots posting the same stuff. Seriously go look for yourself it's not hard to count it.

It's a shame it used to be such a good forum and marketplace so it's sad to see it like this.
