can we split the for sale forum up into 2 groupes?

Even though we have quite a few forums now..

It would be nice to have a FS forum and a separate WTB forum..

What if you want to trade, but would be willing to buy the item you want and sell the item you dont want?

Cross-linking could get messy with multiple For Trade items.

Advanced Search still works.

Often a person selling is accepting some trades, or a person buying has some junk they'll trade too. But as long as that is still allowed (listing trades in FS and WTB) splitting seems OK.

What they really need instead of subforums is catagory filtering. They decide on keywords for each forum (so in this case "For Sale" and "Trade") and then allow the user to mark their posts with any or all keywords that apply. If you click on the FS/T forum you still get every post made in the forum, but if you click on the "Trade" keyword it filters out all posts except those marked as "Trade". If your posts falls under both, you mark it as both.

The only problem is that moderating that would be a pain in the ass.
