Looking for a few suggestions

[Ghost]

Good work mate.

Skills exchange
Offers (groceries and stuff)
Announcements section
Free to collector section, always popular. Not sure if free cycle is a global thing?

Thanks @Memphis for the suggestions.

The forum will be at some stage connected to a website, that will have a complete listing of business's within the Redlands area with pages for ad's and special offers (for a fee), but that will be later when the funds are available for hosting.

Announcements currently falls under the "Local Events" section. Also the forum does have an area on the left side for further announcements.

Have not heard of "free cycle" before. What is it and how does it work?

In our area, there are quite a few suburbs with little bulletin boards. But unless you live in that suburb, you would not know what is going on and they are maybe only a few kilometre's away. The thought is to combine them all into one forum (bulletin board), so people from near by suburbs would know what's going on around them, without having to drive around. Also gives them a chance to meet and talk to their neighbours.

At least that is the thought.

Not a new concept, but what the hey.
