I was aware that this is a suggestion to move shops, not ban them. However, most of the reasons to support are the same, either way- it will allow traditional Requests posts to get easier noticed.

Then what will happen to the Shopping Mall/Shop Directory/Request Directory and other stickies?

They get moved. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

It still won't work, there are a ridiculously huge amount of shops, if they make it more smaller then many shops will be forced to close including mine

So would we be making a new subforum, or would it be two subforums, within a subforum

Then rename Requests to Shops and either move it inside a new forum called Requests, or just have it side by side.

Things like QaS and Suggestions are forums, not subforums; if there was a forum inside of one of those, that would be a subforum, and whichever is easier for the ST.

Support when scrolling through the requests it is hard to find the right shop in the chaos this would mean someone could create a new topic asking for it. I feel even if you get directed to a shop at least it is the right one as someone cares about that post. Say shopworkers could look through the request forums and use that as a way to gte customers even if not through their shop.

Forgive me if I'm being dumb I've only used requestes once and was looking through it again and it was just a lot of shops

IDK if this is necroposting, but what is a shop?

A shop (by Scratch Terms) is basically an online shop. You fill out some forms to let the staff know what you want, then you wait for a staff member to fulfill your order. Then, they give the finished product to you.

Think of it as an online store without the need to pay.

I'd support this. Once, I posted a VA request in June, and nobody cared about it. So, I posted it in a shop at the beginning of July. They hadn't responded yet. 2 weeks later, I posted it in another shop, and a few weeks later, they told me they are short of a male voice actor. This will make my post clear, and shops that have my request can come and give me what I wanted.

There's no reason to go into the requests forum anymore, it's just nothing but shops. We should rename the current requests forum “Shops” and make a new Requests forum.
