I think updating this system would be necessary if there were active trading, a Collectibles section, or a lending section, as in BTT, but I have not seen such transactions in this forum.
The forum is not that famous yet, there are not any sellers like there are on BTT, as you indicated, we need collectibles, or a lending section here, which TBH I did not find too, but there is a trading section, and trade count option here. So, we might take it as positive feedback, as if someone has 1 or 10 positive trade counts with good comments from admin, then anyone can trust that dude.
I remember the very first trade happens of like $40 or something like that, and both parties gained +1 trade token from admin. It was totally worth it, but we definitely need a collectible section here.
