Although I am fairly new here, I have seen a few things that might, if addressed, improve the site response by clearing clutter.

1) While looking through the auctions, I noticed quite a few that were still on the lists even though they were closed, some from as far back as May. Clearing these out would help that area as far as amount of content and load time etc that having a large file tends to incur.

2) Trades have been up too long, many of them, especially in the back half of the section, are based on prices that have long been invalid. Perhaps a 60 day time limit on them would help as far as keeping possible trades more current and up to date with the market and lower the file size for same reasons as above.

3) Pet searches are cluttered with 0 Tu pets. I understand from some, that this may stem from once upon a time having no showroom, but a User Shop is just that, a SHOP, not a storage bin. Imposing a mandate to have a real price on said pets would help the searching immensly.

4) The option to bulk buy from user shops would be nice, but thats a minor thing.

and lastly 5) Why oh Why are there rare/ expensive items in the Easy section of the food quest? I mean even the label on the hot dog collection says that plain ones are rare, yet I have seen that item twice in one day. It may be that some of the lists for the quests need to be revisited to update them accordingly.

Thank you  for the opportunity to place these tidbits on the table for your perusal and consideration and if any others feel likewise, please add on a comment and let admin know.

I support the bulk buy from user shops fully :)

I support 1,2,4, and sort of 5. Not all items need to be checked out in the quest list, but items like the Christmas Helper Squishy (which was a Christmas item and can no longer be bought anywhere except user shops) should definitely be taken out.

As to 3, I disagree. It's easy to jump over the 0 tu pets by just typing 1 as the minimum price. When pets are first put into rancher shops, they are priced at 0 tu so no one buys them before the user has a chance to price them at what they should be priced, so 0 tu pets should stay. Besides, when people use it as a storage bin, they normally price pets at some obscenely high price so people can still see them. This is annoying, yes, but there is nothing that can be done about it (trust me, I've suggested something being done about it). Some people will just continue to use it as a storage bin with no categories, they'll just get less sales, that's all.
