There are so many of us who, in chat, have either services, talents or 'stuff' to share, barter or sell.
The want ads could work thusly: Only posting of what you have to offer, either in trade or to sell.(this could include job offers-we have many entrepeneurs here) It would have to be tangible-not offering up frivilous advice or how-to's.
Those interested in these 'ads' would have to pm or email the poster-thus keeping at least some bandwidth from being used. Once the request has been filled, the ad should be removed or locked.
A final thought-perhaps this forum would be one that becomes open to those who have passed rookie status.
