If you aren't satisfied with your experience (as the majority of the membership is) why are you still hanging around?
.....Like the new photobucket, theRPF changed from an enjoyable experience to a necessity to be tolerated. And like photobucket, I find I'm using theRPF as little as possible.
I feel the same way Pennausamike Mike does except you can add a few to that list such as Ebay, Paypal, USPS web site, etc
I find that I spend far less time on this forum, and other forums then I used to.
I have read the various pros and cons about charging memberships fees and how it can be cheaper then ebay.
However, no one has mentioned that this premise is based on only paying premium membership fees on this forum.
I am a member of multiple forums and I post regularly on many of them.
2 forums, (RPF and SideShow Freaks) have recently implemented a $30 premium membership fee to sell and I’m sure my Gun forum will institute this very soon.
So what I am trying to say is that in the context of this forum, $30 per year isn’t bad, but I’m not going to pay $30 a year to sell on every forum I‘m a member of, which is where I see this going.
I know for a fact that when SSFs did this a couple months ago sales dropped off big time and have not picked back up.
But I digress
I have 3 projects/runs that were moved back to the deprecated Junkyard.
Why did this happen are they in danger of disappearing?

I also noticed that the Project Run Forum guidelines state that "This forum is NOT intended for research or ongoing discussion."
So where do you post Active Projects?
I also have a question about format.
Is it possible to have the “List / Galley” option that ebay uses
IMO the Galley format ( the way it is now) feels very crammed and confusing where as the list format seems more logical and in my case it is easier to follow.
You have a picture to the right , a Title that can be larger and on a single and a line of text for additional info below that.
A forum I use named Glock Talk does this and is seems to be easier to follow.
Another issue is Yard Sale Type Threads are no longer an option so when I do my spring cleaning and decide to sell 30 items I will have to create 30 listings, which will really clutter up things
BTW: Several of the smaller forums I use have gone to this new "classifieds" format and they choose to not charge members to sell on those forum so guess charging
