I'm appreciate this coming project! Hopefully the implementation of this project will feel real in social life and useful for everyone
the site is back online, i just posted an ad there
Damn, I showed up to the party late.
That is a real shame that someone did that. I wish we had a little more details on the threat.

They can't be, see craigslist. If "good faith" efforts are made to remove illegal stuff, the site can't be legally shut down.
The info on the WHOIS seems to indicate an apartment or office building if the street view is pointed correctly. And the site ran entirely off donations (and probably subsidy from a real business) so what's to blackmail?
I think something illegal posted on the site may have come to the notice of any authority and he got some mail. So got spooked and closed the site.
p.s. I think site owners should not be held responsible for user's wrong doings.

Looks like all the personal residential details of Joost de Meij is available on the site whois. But why on earth someone will receive a personal threat for running a classified ? Moreover, why will he shut down for the same ?
Some people are just hungry for money, and if they see an easy opportunity like this one, I mean why wouldn't they take it? Like finding money on the ground that you saw someone just drop.

I second that
It's down.
I would like "This ad needs to be approved." not to keep showing up on random ads that I try to post, like

Status update:
- I did a lot of design work, after all, using the website should look inviting.
- A small bug was fixed where sometimes a user couldn't reply to an ad
- More ads are shown on the index page
- Searchresults are now displayed correctly

There will be sections for all ad categories, and I will need to do a lot more work on the index pages and classified pages. There's also basic support for translations, but I need to put more strings in there. Currently only 'Click here' is translated in dutch. 
I would love more people placing ads on the site, but that takes some more time I guess. In mean time I can finish the site completely.

Any chance you will be adding support for other languages?
The site is looking really good. Nice work. I assume that you are going to add different sections at some point and a list view.
Now we just need to get people using the site. C'mon folks, post something!

I really appreciate the contributions i've received!
Thanks for the bug report JamezQ, i've updated the text. It is now possible to make edits to classifieds you've posted, and JamezQ, your ad now shows up in the list with the other ads.

All the picture ads make my ad look small 
Ah, A bug report!
This field:
Allows for .PNG even though it says JPEG only.
(I would prefer you just change the text, as I like using PNG, but yea.)

Thanks for making the edits. I sent you a contribution.
Cool! Editing and deleting is next on my list, so you can manage all your own ads in one place. I've manually edited your ad. I will look at that error message, and i've added a higher resolution photo to the ad. Thanks for the feedback.
I almost registered that domain a few months ago. I'm glad to see that you are putting it to use. I entered a listing (Pentium CPU). I made a mistake, but I see there is no way to edit or delete. I meant to list the CPU for 10 BTC, so I would need to change the listing price as well as the description (it says $10 currently). Can you change it? Also, when I posted it, I got a message something like "Ad not found," even though it posted it anyway.
It would be nice to see the photo at higher resolution once you click on the ad.

Thanks! Do you mean the Bitcoin wiki? I haven't added a link yet.
I would really like to shape this website to the needs of Bitcoin users, so if anyone has ideas, requests or dreams, feel free to post in this thread!

Excellent. Did you add a link from the wiki?
Great job!
The only functionality I would like so far are more people ^ ^.

Hello all,
A few weeks ago my friend told me about Bitcoin, and I'm now very enthusiastic about this project! To add my share to making Bitcoin a mainstream thing, I begun working on a website where everyone can easily place classified ads and get in touch with each other. This will make your Bitcoins more and more useful. Keep in mind that it's not finished yet, but basic functionality should be working now..

I appreciate all feedback, and I'm curious what functionality you all like to have added to the website!
