[wp-forums] Who can offer what

Which I basically had been saying, but is always
overlooked LOL!

After reading through, ALL the emails.. I'm just getting that it's more of a headache then anything. I would just do as such like before basically. 

1) Moderators find such post of those trying to sell their services and edit their threads, pointing them to JOIN the wp-pro list, and wait. IF that's what the list is for anyways, right?

2) Those trying to find such services. Moderators or forum users to reply with a link to that wp-pro list, then tell them to join and post a request for custom help. And wait for a reply from those offering such services.. And basically tell them, if issues come up, they need to keep their issues or support with those that did that "custom" work, rather then bring it to the support forums.

3) Forget all about the hassles of a "Services Forum" all together, because it's just a headache and a "dog chasing the tail" ordeal.. because proposals after proposals, and yet ppl are still trying to come up with a proposal..and still nothing has "come up"..yet.

4) I dun really care, whatever lol!.. But I'm still however, all for making up a Knowledge Base like phpBB has. Example:

Knowledge Base
The knowledge base contains team and user submitted articles, covering a number of frequently asked questions.
http://www.phpbb.com/kb/categories.php
http://www.phpbb.com/kb/list_articles.php?category_id=6

Might just help unclutter the support forums with tons of repeated questions.. I think that's a little more important at this time, rather then worrying about the paid stuff. Again, it's basically saying...let's worry about that, because money is involved..

Personally, I think everyone should be corralled to the wp-pro list, or at
least "strongly encouraged".  If an effort is made to resuscitate that list,
perhaps it can turn more into what it was intended to be -then again, I've
gotten 2 jobs from that list, because not so many people use it, so maybe I
shouldn't be promoting it :)
