Changes I'm thinking about in the near future... consultation

Interesting note on classified threads (and ideas for thinning them out): I've tried to bump classified threads when they're dedicated to the same topic. In fact, I did it yesterday, and got one PM and no replies (looking for road shoes/pedals/cleats). I then started a new thread (which covered one aspect of the bumped thread, but was more specific - SPD SL pedals) and got 15 replies.
It seems to me that the classifieds section is one area where new threads, on the same topic, should be allowed.

It is. The classifieds don't get merged unless they are literally one user reposting the same thing.
