Now, I can identify how the end of the third party d20 era and the economic downturn might leave things somewhat depressed. But I definitely miss the old format, and I wonder if that doesn't have something to do with the light traffic. Before, there was a nice continuity between "shop talk" and the various postings. The Marketplace has more the feel of an Ebay listing or a greensheet ad. Rather than simply complain, I thought I would offer some constructive points.1. Visually, the Marketplace leaves something to be desired. Currently, the Marketplace banner eats up a huge amount of the screen. Information is placed both beside and below the posting, which means the actual description scrolls along the bottom of the screen. The comments section? I just checked to see if there even was a comments section. 2. The categories could use some work. As it is, piles of old gamebooks are just one click away from freelance offers. I'm not sure about the difference between Industry Services and Vacancies and which I would post some freelance work in. Vacancies list "industry services" as something you might post there. Maybe Artwork, Writing & Editing, and Other Services could be categories. I like the idea of seekers and hirers posting in the same category. 3. Somewhere other than the Marketplace, it would be nice to see a spot for "shop talk" of various kinds, design, freelancing, etc.</blockquote>
