The TMA Executive board can revisit the TMA classifieds if need be.
However, *most* viable forums make classifieds a perk for paying members only. If the classifieds are made read-only, non-paying members can not only make posts, but also contact paying members in order to make sales as well as buy stuff.
What we're saying is that for a measly fifteen bucks annual you can not only have the classifieds, at the same time yer supporting the place that presents you with the classifieds and all the other boards that are chock fulla information and conversations. What a bargain.
Also, I can't find a loophole in the SMF forum software that allows me to have full classifieds access for some members, and read-only access for other members. That's already caused issues.
