Suggestion for a New Forum Category

[OZ-USF-UFGator]

Items for sale, trade, wanted or give away. I've belonged to a Camaro / Corvette board in the past and this section was a big hit. This would be a way for members to both get rid of unwanted stuff while at the same time, help each-other out. Just a thought.

Probably not, Gator. But feel free to try and sell that old bicycle down in E&P.

FWIW I think a section like this would be a good idea for trading/selling belts or shoelifting shoes that one bought online but doesn't like and of course garage gym stuff

I'll put a vote in for an Equipment forum.

An "Equipment" category might be useful so people have a place to ask about e.g. the best stuff to get for a home gym, best lifting shoes/belts, etc. The "Training" board has been spammed with that the past 2-3 months. Granted, much of that has come from a crazy guy who buys "competition kettlebells" and bathes with them, but hey...

Thank god you don't get a vote. That would be more stuff for Stef to do.

Suffrage! Censorship! You OWE me a vote!

It might save Stef work, hopefully a bunch of people will review the stuff they have so all the repeat questions about bars and shoes will be minimized greatly.

I've though for a long time that an Equipment/Gear sub forum would be quite logical. But if it involves having to do stuff...

What is keeping you people from swapping belts in the Training/E&P forums?

Meh, E&P is pretty much a forum for the same old boring politics discussions. Training is now entirely about equipment. Maybe that's fine, although there used to be more interesting topics there in the past.
