Like a few of the forums i'm on, they will have a section dedicated to "hooking members up", for the lack of a better term. No, i'm not suggesting a match-maker section, I mean for deals on retail items, a heads-up on jobs that are going to be posted in their respective companies (references are totally up to the poster), or if TheBiz goes over the edge and starts giving away Mazdaspeeds for free... that kinda deal.

I personally find them pretty useful, and subsequently further bonds the community together. :bana:bana2

hmm, we have the current deals section. But this is different....an interesting idea.

"Hookups/ Connections" sounds like a good idea. Oddly enough, it would bring the community closer together as everyone is always looking for a deal. Hopefully enough that whom ever is starting a thread there is posting something legit..... hehehe.

I don't mind putting deals up that i'd notice from the other forums... you know, me being all productive at work and all.

Hey Jay, what line of work are you in?
I might be able to swing something for you to help you get out of your current company if you are unhappy depending on your field.

Toss me a PM

This would be a nice section to have but we would also need enough people to put things up.

Out of the few forums I regularly surf, this is actually one of the smaller ones, as far as number of users posting. That said, if people stop in here and there and post up something like "I work at xxx, and can offer xxx if you stop by and say hi", or "My company, xxx, is going to be looking for a xxx. Contact me for details". I know theres a deals section, but its totally dead in there, and it pertains more to deals that anyone off the street can get.
