~75% wants to split the classifieds into sub-forums
~25% do not want
I'm going to implement this for a trial period of 2 months with the outcome of the trial period to be assessed in the first week of November if it doesn't happen sooner.
Implementation will be:
1) Create two new sub-fora: "Whole bikes & Frames", "Components, Clothing & Miscellany".
2) Prevent new threads being created in the top-level classifieds forum.
3) Create a page asking what type of advert is being created, and then re-direct to the appropriate sub-fora "Create Thread" page.
4) Update navigation to include links to the sub-fora and "Post new advert" page
5) Move most recent threads from the last 10 pages of classifieds into the new sub-fora so that it doesn't start empty.
The result is now unlikely to change.

I'll try and do this today.
