How do you choose someone to trade?

[Giant Talking Banana]

As simple as the title is. Do you pick a random person from the bottom of the index page, or do you choose from the eldemore trading threads? We can discuss it here.
Personally, I scroll down to the bottom of the page, click the "Who is Online" button, and choose someone who's not just sitting on the index page.

So how do you choose someone to trade?

p.s. sorry if this topic already exists, I looked around this forum and couldn't find anything.

My method tends to be to check through several of the people who are online, just looking through the list at the bottom of the forums. I open plenty of tabs so I can check quickly who has what I'm looking for and who doesn't, and those who do have that pet or pets may receive a trade if I have anything decent to offer them.

Trade forums!~ I see recently bumped topics and read through them.

I usually just stick to the trade forums, I don't like randomly trading people because some people get very annoyed by it. Most of the time i'll post my own trade topic/missed monthly post with what i want rather than sending the trades unless someones looking for something specific like missed monthlies which would be an easy swap.

I haven't traded much at all actually, but the couple of trades I have initiated myself I looked on the trade forums for people who had threads.

I went to the trade forum and I only read the title of their threads... then I choose and open their profiles in new tabs and start trying to trade with them, hehe ^^
