Another Reason For Closing The Forums?

In the "Streamlining" of these forums, we are told,

"One last change: The Classifieds forums will be going away. When we began the classifieds section of the forums, it was one of the only venues in which Residents could advertise. We now offer multiple ways for Residents to advertise their goods: via product listings and banner ads on xStreet, in the Commerce forums (for services, employment and help wanted) and through inworld classifieds (which are also shown on the Second Life website)."

So much for free advertising huh? Have you run the numbers for Web Imprints on Xstreet? ridiculous! The cost compared to actually being seen is ludicrous. Some one had posted the figures here somewhere- I don't recall what they were onlythat it was a waste and I was better off buying my adverts in SLU.

Anyhoo... thought I would add the greed factor to the well thought out plans.
