Hey, it's been a while.
I became the owner and relaunched FK in late 2019. The direction I relaunched with was that of FK's origin. While it's been a great learning experience, I believe it's time for a new, better direction.
Why?
During FK's downtime along with issues of trust regarding the previous owner and creator of FK, other forums have spawned in the niche we've succeeded with, in the past. That niche's community has grown and evolved quite a bit. Quite frankly it is not an appealing one. I am not removing this niche, but I am taking it out of focus and possibly out of public view in the future.
What's our new direction?
We'll still be relying on community, allowing for discussion among many topics. But, we'll have a new main focus. It is a very broad topic, yet I believe we could thrive as one of the only public outlets for it with the potential to be the best. I am talking about reselling items. Also commonly known as flipping, in my opinion, it is a great focus for us.
Reselling communities for sneakers, clothing, retail items, collectibles, niche items, et cetera are quite huge and friendly environments. Everyone just wants to make money! One huge issue with reselling is it can be very hard to get into. This is mainly due to most groups with information such as what to go for (what to purchase to flip) being paid and whatnot. Even these groups aren't beginner-friendly. We're going to aim to make this community beginner-friendly, and free.
We'll post beginner-friendly guides, releases to go for, etc. We will not be trying to replace paid groups a.k.a. cook groups but work to give simpler information out to those who want it. Being a forum, we aim to allow anyone to post any info they want. Obviously, we'll work to give upgrades certain information and features.
If you're interested in reselling but don't know anything about it, please read our introduction to reselling.
I hope to see some new faces interested in trying to make some money. Let's all get rich.
