I just don't trade with people anymore, and when I do trade, it's usually on my terms (I'm the one asking for something). I also never trade for Pokemon, so I don't really see the point of keeping a trade thread.
I still have all my Pokemon linked in my signature so people will know what I have to offer.
I'm spending a lot more time over at Nugget Bridge, since I only battle VGC style.
Hope this answers your question :).
