1) we currently have 9 this one will drop so really 8 and the Cheapo Buildoff thread will eventually drop too when all is said and done there, we had 13-14 or so.

2) The valuations thread idea was purposed, but decided that the subforum was a much better solution. Far too easy to get confused / mixed up on who's replying to what request. Especially if the mods start merging threads started into the stickied one. People aren't going to browse through pages of requests/answers looking for a post that they have some knowledge / input on.
