Admin Retail's Progress

[Chase.]

Hello everyone,

thought I should give a bit more information about Admin Retail and its progress.

First things first, we are an online marketplace. Our main focus is bringing you forum resources such as themes, plugin's, graphics, etcetera for all kinds of softwares. IPB, XenForo, MyBB, vBulletin, Wordpress will all be available throughout time and more to come. Besides our resources, we'll offer a place for member transactions. You can buy, sell and trade your services, domains, websites, forums, databases, etcetera. We're currently contacting a lot of product developers to get our resources filled before we officially open.

You'll be able to buy, sell and trade in both forum currency and real money transfers. Forum currency can be bought and sold for real money as well. Meaning, when you're an active contributor and have a lot of posts, you can trade in your activity and reward yourself with real money.

Besides the marketplace you'll be able to discuss all things internet and web related.

We're currently setting everything up, getting ready for the opening, and awaiting the custom theme made by Veilon of IPS.
We're also still in need of a forum moderator, so if you're interested, send me a PM.
In time there will be build a website around the forum, also listing many items and products that are for sale.

Great to know about the progress, it is cool that you are taking the project slow and steady unlike many (including me) who want to start the project immediately and create more demand 😀

Thanks for the replies. I have a small question which I'm not completely through yet.

I'd like a paid 2 post setup which will be going through credits you earn by topics and posts and referrals. The payout rate would be 0.02 per credit, as 100 credits would be 2 USD. With a minimum payout of 10USD at once. More credits can also be converted to USD with an increasing payout compared to the first 100 credits as 500 credits cash out 11 USD.

Would you guys consider this a good payout rate ?

Good idea. I like it.

What do you mean by 0.02 per credit exactly? Does that mean 0.02 credits per post? Any rate is good because most forums tend to not offer many benefits for virtual currencies that they have. However, compared to other paid-to-post forums, it's not great. Which actually might be a good thing because it will reward those that are active on your forum whilst not encouraging low quality posters to register just to make money.

Yes.

One thread rewards 2 credits which is 0.04 cents.
One post rewards 1 credit which is 0.02 cents.
Minimum payout would be 10 USD.
Credits can also be used for exchanging items, products or services around the forum.

Basically, you can receive 2 USD with 100 credits, 11USD with 500 credits and 25 USD with 1000 credits. The longer you spare your credits, the higher the reward.

Obviously, before you'd exchange your credits for real money, we'll take a quick look at your past content to make sure they were somewhat quality posts and no spam posts like one-two-three worded posts. We really want to reward for activity, but we want 'quality' in return.

That's a really good rate actually @Chase. I would definitely be interested 😉

I'm glad you think that is a good rate. I think the rate will never change but the payout might increase over time. All really depends on what the future holds for the forum. If we see enough participation in everything and we have a decent income on the commissions (from product sales, adverts like domain, website sales, etc) then the rate could possibly be increased and payout kept to 10 USD minimum.

I strongly believe this project has a lot of potential if it's a success and members will be able to cash out pretty much if they're actively involved.

Hello everyone !

As progress keeps being made, I'm here to inform you all about the custom theme.

It will be a lightweight sleek customizable one for everyone to set their own preferences. Default will be Light / Blue with variants in different colors. That same theme will have a light/dark toggle function so we cover most members' preferences. I'll be showing off some screen shots as teasers in a couple of days.

Our official logo has also been made, you can view it here.

Further more, if anyone is interested in a peak behind the offline message, I'm willing to provide you a pre-registered account with offline access. The only favor I'm asking for this, is those can make some threads / posts to get some discussion going on before we officially open. Feedback and/or suggestions are also welcomed and any ideas or stuff we get to change because of your feedback will be rewarded in a small credit increasement

You can PM me for such matters.

Good afternoon everyone,

Been a while since we've updated you on progress. Progress has been a bit slow. We've ditched our original theme plans as they weren't up to our standards. That being said, a new theme is currently being developed. I'm here to show you 2 little previews so you get an idea for what color scheme we are going for.

Furthermore, we expect to open sometime by the end of next month. More regarding this will follow in a few weeks.

Theme previews:

Just showcasing the color for us in the new theme?

That is correct.

 

[Deleted member 45570]

Okay cool, why yellow in the footer. Any other color to match the theme would be great.

 

[Chase.]

Where do you see that’s the footer? We wanted a color to set us apart from all other themes that use two colors.

I'm very excited to see where this project goes. Webmasters could really use some alternatives as far as these online marketplaces go, especially considering the changes Flippa has made in the last year or two.

I also really look forward to seeing this new style in action. Color scheme looks promising.

Thank you. We’re also very excited to launch and see what the future holds for us. Hopefully we’ll gain some traffic over the next few months and be able to create a stable and trustworthy community.

I'm very pleased with the progress on the new theme. Can't wait to release the forum and let you all see the new theme.

To celebrate, I've provided another sneak peek. 😉

 

[Chase.]

I want to keep you all up to date, so here goes.

Theme is almost ready to be added to the forum. Except for some content we’ll be ready to launch Admin Retail.

However, my wife and I, are expecting our second child any day this month, so when that is, add another two weeks prior opening.
