Expand and improve the Domains section

[Croc]

I am making this suggestion after being requested by Justis to do so. Even though I have a Discord community dedicated to "domaining", I would like to see MCM improve it's focus on the domain section of the market. It is very miserable and does not have the filters that domain buyers and sellers need to make it useful.

#1 Change forum slug from /mc-domains to just /domains

MCM members sell all kinds of domains on here, so why have the URL make it seem like its only for Minecraft domains. Of course, you would want to make a 301 re-direct from the old url to the new url, so links don't break, but that's an easy change.
​

#2 Add prefix for Discussion and Tool/Script/App

Sometimes people want to discuss the ins and outs of domain names and offer tips for domain investing. Let us do that without having to specify "Buying" or "Selling" prefix. Also, I develop free programs and scripts to help domainers and others might too if there is a prefix for "Tool/Script/App".​

#3 Add filters above the forum view for filtering by various domain types.

#2: the resource section exists for that

Not for "Discussions"[DOUBLEPOST=1537293706][/DOUBLEPOST]

Seems like a lot of unnecessary work.

How? Xenforo has all of the functionality needed to implement these built-in. NamePros has these filters, it's the largest online domaining community in the world.

I agree with #1 and somewhat #2 but honestly, I don't see why this section should get something like #3. It may be cool and a little useful but it's not one of the most used sections.

I agree with #1 and #2 but #3 seems a little off to me.

I'm happy to change mc-domains to /domains/ in the next update, but I don't want to make small changes on a case-by-case basis for the thread prefixes right now, I would rather work out a plan for a revamp to thread prefixes so that they are consistent across all forums and are intuitive to use. I feel like our current ones are intuitive, just not as useful as they need to be.

Maybe implementing a proper filtering system for forums along with offering/requesting prefixes may be best, but not at the moment without proper planning.

I'll move this to pending regarding #1.

This has already been implemented, we just never got around to marking this suggestion as accepted.

Thank you very much for the suggestion! I'll move the thread now.
