On another web site (that I accidentally frequented ) is a section called ‘Movers & Shakers’ the idea is helping someone out with a lift or movement of an item, quote ‘Can you taxi someone to a show? Pick up some parts for someone? Need something grabbing from *** and taking to ***? Requests and offers here please . . . Don't forget, gas money makes for happier drivers.’ Ive seen on here people asking for the same sort of service, but lost in other sections and just thought it would be good to have its own little space. Thoughts please or just shoot me down.

Stuff like this isn´t "lost in other sections" but normally gets posted in the general section where it will get the maximum views and the most feedback. We don´t want lots of different sub sections like other forums have. I think more important is not where it´s posted but how. I think a short i need 4 wheels moved from a to b is not going to get much help but if the post is written sympathetically with a bit of effort and from someone who is also prepared to help other people out, it will normally result in bit´s & bobs getting moved all over the place. In fact the RR Pony Express works internationally too

Yeah, I frequent that forum too I've occasionally thought of doing an RR Pony Express sub forum, it seems like a good idea, but I don't think it would get as many views (and therefore not be as useful) as putting stuff in general and I think the whole point of the RR Pony Express is to get as many people in on it as possible

I *heart* the RR Pony Express. I think it works OK with asks being posted on the General Board. Nobody minds self-bumping of the thread I'm sure, and most people get sorted out with help. I agree that if it was in a sub-forum it wouldn't get viewed as much.

Maybe just a sticky thread on the main board then?

Maybe just a sticky thread on the main board then? Not a bad idea Christoff but could get a bit complicated when more than one trip is being organised at a time. Might be worth putting in the "usefull threads" section though?

I think it works best how it is. I don't know about others, but as soon as something is 'stickied' I immediately stop reading it. I used to enjoy the spotted threads but a 100+ page sticky is really hard to read. Just my 2p and its probably not the same for everyone
