Problem is you are posting it in this forum. Next is, "the view is like you are stealing one section" to be placed in your forum. You may want to ask theymos first if he is having a hard time about the clogged services section or not. If yes then you ask permission to posts something like this and hear about others comments on how they feel about it. We have moderators here and they are doing a pretty good job. Are you thinking they do not and that is the reason you want to create your own?

Freelance website that will look like a forum? No I don't think that it will work, for one users can also spam and discredit your work just cause of competition, unlike freelance websites where you can only be reviewed by the ones you work for or work with this won't work as literally anybody can post in your thread. Another main point is there is no proper way to be viewed what people are offering for in a forum style website all are in lines of threads which users needs to scroll down just to find the right one, the other thing is bumping it will really mess up a lot a people who bumps a lot will be always on top.

If it looked nice and had traffic I would certainly use it. If it operated like an Ebay but for services then I think it could be successful. However user liquidity will be important, you need people to offer services but also need daily visitors of people who are looking for cryptocurrency related services.
I think this is what it truly is what it comes down to. If you have listings, then it will go somewhere. You'll have to do a lot of marketing to ensure people are going to use it.

Why not have a portion of it in the established forum like here in Bitcointalk?
I don’t know if you could somehow implement it here or maybe the forum stay the same and just would add an additional feature or something. Maybe request for a feature that could support your claim or something like that to help you in the long run.
Just stay in Bitcointalk and support it.

That is good idea for creating job forum. But, i think paid in any kind of cryptocurrency is already for any forum like this forum. I think if paid in cash,giftcard and online payment good.

I have gotten some free web hosting space and a domain name. I wanted to create a forum - like the services section - in where members can find jobs paid in any kind of cryptocurrency. I want to do this because of the state of the services section - it is too cluttered and unorganized. I don't think I will have signature campaigns on the site since that is what Bitcointalk is for - posting in topics relating to btcoin you have a genuine interest in. I know there's XBTFreelancer and other sites like that but I like the forum format better. I will mod it to include a reputation system like this forum have I haven't given such a modification much thought but I want to be able to flag scammers, lazy employees, and people who are unqualified to do the job.
My questions are: would you use it and does it serve a good purpose?
I think it does serve a good purpose, it's similar to what we're doing at Opsonion. Other platforms lack good UI / UX but as some others have suggested, building traction is going to be the hardest thing.

Yeah the OP did not think this through.... The problem here is he created something new to offer without even thinking about the Pros and Cons on having a service section only forum website. Even the first sentence of the OP says a lot about his attempted project. He plans to run the forum on a free hosting service with a free domain which we all know lacks the reliability to a forum site running smoothly.

Somebody offered to give me a reseller shared hosting account at no cost to me. I said I got a domain in my OP (but I didn't say it was a free domain).

the "idea" isn't exactly new! it has been done before in form of "freelancing websites" and as i said in my previous comment doing it like a forum is not a good idea either. besides, sometimes you have to share the ideas so that you can figure out if they are actually good or you are wasting your time. you may not see the flaws because of being too involved in it while others can see them from outside with a fresh eye.

This is why so many ideas on here fail.... people do not crowdthink. :/

Absolutely yes on my side and i do somehow agree about on the "organized" thing on services section of this forum but people already get used to it even its isnt arranged but overall people will able to seek out on. Traffic or gaining users would be the biggest challenge for you yet you had mentioned that you wont support Signature campaigns/Bounties which most people on this forum do really seeks out and with that alone you already lose big percentage. what is meant by losing a large percentage is the same as he is showing himself that the words he who does not support the campaign / bounty is he himself who actually calls lazy employees ?

I think that such a website will require intensive moderation to keep it organized. But I would definitely use it as a web designer. And I would also suggest a forum like this one as it is better organized: https://discuss.flarum.org/I would be happy to help you with your project if you are making it a reality.

Very unlikely, because the idea just isn't very good... I would never use a forum like that, there are far better ways to come into contact with possible clients. Sure, here the services boards do work, but that's largely because most of the services are tied to other aspects of this forum. A forum dedicated purely to freelancers? I really don't think there's enough demand for that...

This is why so many ideas on here fail.... people do not crowdthink. :/ Well said. They do force out things inside on their minds without considering majorities insight on such project thats why most of them end up on being a trash and completely waste up their effort.

OP it won't be bad idea but to my mind it's very hard to get good positions in google, especially when other very famous forums exist. You could create something similar of blackhatworld, I think this is what you are looking for. Also it would be better if you allow signatures, someone will promote his/her service while posting too or hire others to promote his/her service. Was thinking about warriorforum too but maybe first one is better choise.
