[QUOTE="Pizzaparlor45, post: 337526, member: 7426"] I've been thinking about a potential way to overhaul the classified section, which is honestly one of the most important features of the forum. While the system has been the same for over a decade, I think that a major improvement can be made. Instead of people haphazardly posting what they have and what they want, what if there was a dedicated section where breeders could post an inventory of what they have in stock and keep it updated at their whim without having to either keep making new threads or make their own website. I feel this could be a much more efficient way of buyers finding breeders. Perhaps it could be further optimized by organizing breeders by continent. Secondly, I think the system of waiting for approval to join the forum does more harm than good. While it does prevent scammers, thieves, and bots from joining, I feel that it also turns away a lot of prospective new members, which a vital to keeping the forum active. [/QUOTE]
