Well, what about a dual list?
One list of what service you could offer.
The second list sort of like Angies List where people who used your service can comment.
Wouldn't be much different from the sponsors list would it? I mean, a sponsor offers a service too. All that list does is allow us members to contact people who provide a service we desire. I've seen on here how a couple guys raving about some new product can really get people jumping on the band wagon. It would be about the same for non archery services from tradgangers.
Well, I'm thinking as I type and I wonder if maybe the way to go might be just another sponsor list for non archery stuff? The back up would be a forum to make comments on, ask questions about services or exchange contact info.
Also, would you separate the professionals from the hobbyists? That is, say somebody wants a house built. I'm sure there are lots of contractors on this site. Easy, professional hook up. I'd feel much less stress knowing the guy building my house was a tradganger. Funny, but it's true. But say you just want a tune up and oil chance on your car. I can do that but I certainly don't do it for a living.
Lastly, on another site I go to, not just anyone can come in and use features like the classifieds. You have to become a member and post a certain number of times before using the site to sell your stuff. (Not sure if that already applies here or not.) Keeps unscrupulous outsiders from joining just to sell their stuff.
If you guys can handle the logistics of it, I'd be all for it. I know of numerous guys here who have experience that would be useful outside of the trad hunting arena. Heck, just to find an honest car mechanic would make it worthwhile and I'm a professional industrial mechanic! I just don't like working on my cars....
