What happened to the shop thingy on here?

[AnnaAbyss]

I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to that newish part of MerNetwork where you could sell your stuff? It was like Etsy and it disappeared a while back. I can't remember what it's called but I couldn't find it anywhere on here. It was like it's own little shop thingy (it wasn't the Classifieds thread by the way)....
Maybe I haven't been reading through the threads long enough to find out what happened to it. I tend to skim through them.
Does anyone know where it went?

it's not a part of mernetwork. It's a totally different website, lol. It was linked on here. http://themerfolkco-op.com/

Oh.. Haha. -facepalm- Thank you Raina!

That's okay, I loled. We should have it linked on the main page I think :) That way people can find it!

I guess this was taken down? :c

Yeah, the co-op was nixed. In a year and a half only maybe 5 people ever used it (so pretty much no interest), and we saw the hackers were using the software I used for it to get in and make a back door on the server. So we just straight up deleted it. I was pretty surprised that people would rather pay all the fees on etsy rather than listing for free, but you get more exposure with etsy so I guess people would rather pay for that.

I really wish it would have taken off more! It was such a great idea AND execution. :s
