this sounds like a reasonable idea. It would be one less thing that Lance would have to maintain. I don't think that a 30 day waiting period is a good idea, since a guy may be in a rush to sell something, and he may not be registered here.

I just wanna say that I like the idea of being able to use the search function, but with that said, i don't like the classified forums i have seen other places. I think if they just cleaned up what we currently have and added maybe a search feature? But overall excellent idea, I have been looking through the classifieds for a bit now and I was starting to get angry at people who posted something in every forum.

Moving the classifieds to the forums has been discussed before.
I do like the idea of moderating the classifieds as they exist, but I don't think that the possibility was put into the code. Lance coded the classifieds all himself, IIRC.

it seems like if it were a forum you could easily remove the scam posts in the same way that other inappropriate posts get deleted so quickly! I like the idea of a cars for sale, Engine parts for sale, Aesthetics/audio for sale forums

As long as ideas are being considered I'll toss one in too.
Do both. Clean up the existing classifieds or at least start maintaining them. Get a fresh moderator for it. Then also open a new forum to announce things that are getting posted in the classifieds. The forum would be locked as soon as the item is posted so there would be little maintenance needed.

I second that. the ads are good too, it breaks up into categories..
For the Forum, I think it's too much if you have engine, wheels, suspension, etc each in it's own forum. i think it's too much to browse. i like the idea of being able to go to 1 place and see everything (All parts) that's out there.. then 1 more just for vehicles - so that would be 2 in total.. duno just food for thought.

I like it! Especailly locking the post, and requiring deals to be taken to PM. That would elimainate all the foolishness in simple posts.

Once you get on the classifieds pages, you can click edit & do a word search for what you're looking for, i.e. "wheels", "UIM", or whatever.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
