Is anyone buying/selling NG resources with main? Is it even allowed?

I would be interested to know what's allowed and not too. Can you sell for real money too. Be nice to have a market section.

Yes a market section would be very helpful. The only thing is you really have to trust who you are trading with since there is no broker. You have to send whatever resources you plan to trade and hope they send whatever you wanted in return.

I think that they are trying to limit the trading by not putting up a market section. Seeing as everything is limited as it is to prevent it from becoming like main so if they were to make a market section then it would be going against what they have been trying to do.

We are squarely against cross-server trading, and we will not allow it on the forum.
Since it is impossible to kill it, we will not 'prosecute', and we will rely on the mechanical solutions in place to ensure the game stays balanced. Measures are in place against trading/feeding excesses.
The addition of a Market section to NewGrounds however is something that we seek, among other reasons to promote user interaction and involvement. The social aspect of trades is a great benefit, and with the restrictions we have in place, the excesses that you find in Main will not happen in NewGrounds.

I am pretty sure everyone can think of what cross-server trading entails.

People have been trying to stamp out cross server trading for 7 years on Quantum...then again people have also been trying to stamp out cross server retaliation for 7 years on Quantum. Just one of those things that are not that easily police-able.

Which is why we rely on the system itself to 'prevent' it, and in those situations where it does happen, we are not going to 'prosecute' (like Quantum tried).
