Would it be helpful or useful to have a "Recommendations" subforum? This would be a place where members can post recommendations for landscapers, auto mechanics, A/C companies, plumbers, babysitters, you name it.
yes? no?

Depends if you want to take this from a gun site to an everything site. It's okay to wander. ;)
What do you mean wander? To where shall I wander? This site is the only place I know...Quote:

So is that a unanimous "no"?
You mean something like a pro-2A recommendation list?
not all who wander are lost
Okay, we got a DIY subforum, but no recommendations subforum? [gohome]Quote:

If nobody else thinks it would be helpful, then we can let this one die. There are already a lot of subforums, and I don't want to muddy things up even more. Maybe we can make this idea into a sticky in the DIY subforum?
I didn't suggest the DIY forum; but I sure jumped in with both feet.
What's wrong with tracking down what you're after in the Wanted section? This place is starting to suffer from a little subforum bloat as it is imo.
But do all who are lost, wander? I'm kinda neutral on the OP's idea: I see the value, but not sure if it needs a specific subforum?
Nothing wrong with that!Quote:

The "Wanted" subforum is geared more toward buying products, not services.Quote:

"I ll text you the number to a guy who's been working on those for 95 years in just a minute!"
Okay, fair enough... [Flower]
I wish there was a way to tag people like Facebook, so if I needed Jim, I could just tag him and he would see it.
Paging Jim... I need to know a good source of U238 in the Colorado Springs area..
Doesn't this sub forum fit what you are wanting ? Granted it is member owned businesses, but seems to cover a bunch of trades.
