I just wanted to post a reminder that about a year ago, when LL was originally going to close all the classified forums, I set up a pretty extensive set of classified forums on SLU. At the time, LL relented, and honestly I hope they rethink closing the forums altogether now. In the event that they don't, the SLU classified forums are still set up. Unlike the main classifieds, they are not read only. However, they are set to sort in order of creation, not last post, so the same post doesn't keep getting bumped by people replying to it.
In the New Products section, there are individual forums for:
Clothing, Hair, Shoes, Skins and Tattoos, Animations, Poses and Accessories, Furniture and Housewares, Vehicles, Jewelry and Misc. Attachments, Avatars, Textures, Buildings, Scripted Devices, Scripts, Miscellaneous Items, Art, Sculpture and Design, Mature Items, Free Products
Additionally, there are real estate, event, help wanted, and services forums. Additional forums can be added as needed.
The forums are available at http://forums.sluniverse.com - you do not have to be a registered user to view them, only to post. Any feedback you have on improving them would be appreciated. It's unclear right now what is going to happen once the forums close, but I would like to be prepared by having a viable alternative ready.
