How about a 'Hot Deals' section for when we come across an amazing deal on parts and such? Here's an example of what kind of deal I'm talking about.

I think it might be hard to maintain...it would probably require a daily clean up of outdated material. Isn't the Coupons forum similar?

I think it's for percent off coupons. There is no reason it would need to be cleaned up daily; old threads would just die.

Remember, though, the forums are mostly supported by paid advertising, and this idea would only create havoc among the advertisers asking "Why are we providing free advertisements when they are paying for their ads?"

There are already the threads, they just happen to be all over the place.

Understood, but in the perception of the advertisers, that's random.

What about the coupon forum?
