Ha!!! You have asked a question that has been asked often ... but not 20,000 times yet.
The forum software isn't the best software for doing classified stuff. We had two separate programs about eight (?) years ago, and it required a different password / log-in than the regular forum. Well, we had so many issues with folks not remember which was which, we decided just to find a way to combine them.
Now, that was in the day when we were still only 1 million hits a month. And when we also spent a lot of time clearing out rattan furniture out of the Swap Meet.
The Internet has come a long way; but we haven't kept up too well. The Swap Meet seems to be working well enough and we've got as many categories as we can manage. George and Joe have done a great job in setting up the guidelines and keeping the place fairly neat and orderly.
If you wonder what is the best way to post something in there, as one of them. They are in there constantly and have contact with the regulars. So, I'm sure they could tell you what will work best.
As to a Swap just for Big Bolts ... we've talked about that, too. I won't say that it won't happen. I can only say we can't do it yet.
The bigger question is should we get "classified" software -- it would enable better categories and better searching.
