I'm not sure who I should address this to. Perhaps Iago. If I get it wrong - sorry.
I was wondering, would it be possible to have an area in the forum where people could list stuff that they wanted to trade or perhaps sell to other forum goers. No trading/selling would go on in the forum - that would all be conducted by PM or off site.
And to keep the spamers out of it, I would think that you couldn't post unless you were at at least 500 or 1000 posts.
It would be limited to things like books, art work, costume stuff, and, I'm sure, the beaders would post stuff.
The forum also wouldn't or shouldn't be responsible if anything goes wrong.
It's just a thought.
