Hey Guys,
I've been thinking for the longest time to create a "New Member Introductions" sub-forum probably under Miscellaneous grouping right above the Lounge. I've been checking other forums and it seems like it might get a lot more members to begin posting and become active, along with cleaning up the main forum. If you think about it ... As a new member it's hard to reply to established threads and perhaps scary to start a new thread because you don't know how others are going to react to you. A first post in the intro forum would seem like the most logical choice.
Also, in regards to the prior thread here about a group-buy forum. I believe that I could make a new group buy forum a sub-forum of the Classifieds forum. It wouln't show as full forum on index page but would show up in smaller letters under the Classifieds forum description as a sub-forum listing. It would also show up above all the threads in the Classifieds form as a sub-forum.
What do you all think?

also Imo, it would be nice if the classifieds section could be placed in the middle section
rather than shown in the miscellenous section.

It definately IS miscellaneous and NOT information.
Classifieds should stay right where it is.

Yes, it's in the correct grouping I think too. But ... I have been thinking to make a link to the classifieds forum from the parts/accessories forum. This would probably be best accomplished with a sticky thead but the problem with that is you'd need to click through 2 links to acctually get there. Hrmm....
