Yes they are too compartmentally dorky.  Once upon a time all auction stuff

Something like brickshops.ads or whatever. Then keep all the discussion
in brickshops and I think any confusion will be solved by the addition

charter for .shopping will need a complete re-write.  The toughest thing is
figuring out where the brag posts should go.  Are they ads or are they
discussion?  I don't know and there is no straight line that I can see.
