CD-Swap has already been removed .. If someone needs something / wants to give away something, they can just start a thread about it.

Oh NO! I went looking for it today to post some things on it, and found it was gone! Aieeeeee!

Serously though... IMHO, CD-Swap was one of the greatest things here, especially during the build season!... FYI - It has helped out (and saved the bacon) for MANY teams. True, it is not used much OFF season, but over the years it has been a real lifesaver for several of my teams during the build.

OOC... Was there REALLY a lot of "overhead" in running CD-Swap?
If the "auto=delete-post-upon-ageout" tool is automatic and already running, it seems to me to be an extremely high value added sub-forum, with little need for admin time overhead. It also helps keep the other sub-forums much cleaner.

Now if you aren't interested in restarting CD-Swap, can you at least create a general "Swap & Sale" sub-forum instead (possibly off of the General forum)? That will at least help keep a lot of part exchange and "Help Me find {whatever}" postings from cluttering up all of the other forums.

Thanks!

... Very sad, to see CD-Swap go...
