Proposing a new "Service" section in Eve Marketplace board.

Services for hire (jump clone, standing grind, merc, etc) has little to do with selling goods. They are currently buried in the overcrowded Sell section of the forum, rendering them unfindable. Sell board is filled with short-lived but spamtastic merchandise-hawking threads. Seekers of services often had to resort to Google, which often gave ancient results of defunct corps whose owner have since died irl.

Mercs for hire threads have since moved to C&P where they hang out with the discussion/whine threads. Standing grind threads used to be in PvE section, but got moved to Sell section by mods, where they may die. Jump clone threads are out of luck from the beginning.

Eve economy has a service sector. Now that wardec mechanics have be changed to favor more merc work, it might be a good time for a minor addition to the forums to facilitate buying and selling of services.

A different idea with ultimately the same consequences. Player driven services with better representation ingame.
