Yes - the for sale / trade forum was often being abused by spammers, thinking it was okay to make their one and only post in there. After I put a limit on to prevent people with less than 30 posts posting in there, they just started posting in the off topic forums - people see the ads forum and assume it's okay to spam the rest of the site. HOWEVER: I may be adding a system that allows an eBay - style auction site.

As for the security software forum - we had one before I merged down the forums, and I will probably re-add it very soon. Keep the suggestions coming though!
