That is fine with me (to only allow paying members) but the fact that everything is so spread out leads to so little traffic and so little people posting about items for sale. If it was all located in the marketplace (where it should be) it would have more exposure leading to more people buying and selling.

That is a GREAT idea! That makes perfect sense and is DEFINATELY THE BEST THING TO DO! However when I did that a week before I made this thread it was LOCKED, DELETED and I was PM'ED saying WE DO NOT ALLOW POLLS IN THE FORUM SUGGESTIONS & USER ASSISTANCE. I agree 100% that is how it should be done but apparently that is not allowed.
