    I was looking at the For Sale Forum recently. And i got to thinking. Would it be more functional if it was categorised. A lot of posts are getting pushed a few pages back within a day because of the traffic there. Its all mixed up, with everything in the same section. Recently there have been a lot of musical instruments sold there, So maybe a Music section? one for DVD's, Cds etc one for computer components. and a misc one for all the randoms.
    It would ensure better viewing and sales for the punters i reckon.

    Anyways...

    I agree that computer parts should have its own subsection, dont know about the rest.
    Maybe a multimedia one for Dvds, cds etc?

    We did actually draw up plans to create more sectiosn but somewhere along th line we never implemented them for som reason. (probably becasue we were too lazy or drunk or both)

    I'll look into it :D

    Would really be worthwhile I woulda thought? Maybe something similar for the "Wanted" forum?

    i dunno if the wanted form gets that much traffic to need subsections, but for sale definatly does. ?Maybe something along the lines of

    Computer Related
    Musical Equipment
    Media (cd's, games, DVDs etc)
    Transport (cars, bikes, bicycles etc)
    Tickets
    Mobile Phones (already there)
    Home Entertainment
    Misc

    I dunno about that, maybe just branch off computer equipment for now and if the main FS Forum is still swamped on a daily basis then branch off the next most popular category.

    Too many categories won't get the eyeballs.

    This is one of the few areas where I would agree with that analysis. IMHO we should section off areas as the traffic warrants it. Keeks, can I leave this with you and Vexorg, vex can action the creation of sub fora as you guys see fit... he's really the admin with responsibility for the For Sale area, such as we have demarcation here.
