Meh, I like things the way they are. i dont want to look in multiple areas, plus its spammy enough when I try to look at new posts.

I don't think having a separate buy/sell forum for each category is a bad thing; I mean, most of the 'nays' said they just click the View New Posts link anyway, so they wouldn't really see the drill-down/file spread. I'm the opposite of all these folks ~ I actually go into the forum (like Privateer Press games) and scroll down.

On the other hand, I'm kind of a "if it aint broke don't fix it" kinda guy. I have noticed a decline in trading, which makes me pretty sad. At one time I had several friends here, and we traded a lot with each other. :(

Having used this site for years

while I find that for the most part I buy anymore,there are still times I trade things. Having said that I am old and crusty and dont like change.jk ,,,,I do not really think adding more rules or forums or sub sections would really add anything to the site.

A couple things...
1) It was all just a hypothetical conversation to start with, so I hope nobody presumed it to be something we were looking at implementing. We've been pretty vocal about "less is more" over the years, and that p.o.v. hasn't changed.
2) I'm going to go ahead and lock this up. The actual conversation died off back in September. This topic is only seeing action again due to a minor act of Threadomancy.

Thanks for the input, all!
