Split requests forum into "Shops" and "Help Requests"

As per title, I think that this would be beneficial as if someone cannot find a shop they need for something fo rtheir project, they post a post that gets swallowed into the abyss by bumped shops and don't often enough get help.

There's probably a shop for everything really, so I doubt someone just flatout wouldn't be able to find a shop that works for them, but support regardless.

Semi support. I agree that some kind of improvements need to be made to the current situation in the requests forum but I don't think this would solve it as “shops” would be confusing for new users and they might assume it means actual shops or think that they don't get requests from there, plus someone could easily end up making a shop-like thing in requests (E.G: “Taking requests for bitmap art!”) and then both forums would become sort of identical over time.

No Support. I have been using the requests forums for a long time now and I like the way it is currently set up.

i support at 1000000% (as izuku would say)
I tried to ask a request not a long time ago but because of how the forum in made, shops constantly hide new topics. and the amount of shops make it very changing so it's hard to find a shop where you asked something before

Support, the Requests forum is basically useless now because it gets flooded with shops.

Total support. I once put something in the Requests forum once. Got no response. I feel like if this were added, the Requests forum would have more of a use.

I still believe that a hard-cap on the number of shops would be more beneficial.

Total support. We should literally rename requests to shops since it only contains shops anyways. Also, there is only a shop directory, not a request one, further pushing me to add a separate section

Have you ever done anything else in the requests forum? There is literally a shop for everything there, from cloud multiplayer engines to pfps.

Honestly… no. Though I still support the suggestion.

Then you should actually try the requests forum. Stuff gets done there.

I probably would try it more, but I don't understand what shops are at all. And yes, I read the sticky.

You literally just read thier terms, products, then fill out the ordering form.

But why would you want to do that when you could actually make a request in the requests forum?
Terms and ordering forms are a bad idea.
