While wondering what the best forum would be to post a new thread, I found that these two forums are very close in what types of threads develop there:
Economy > Trading DiscussionEconomy > Marketplace > Service DiscussionThis is a problem I think, because many threads will be duplicated. For instance, a very recent thread, several pages long on each of those forums, is about Bitfloor shutting down:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179198.0 in Trading Discussion
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179231.0 in Service Discussion
How about consolidating these into one forum, or specifying more precisely their intended purpose?
