I would like to just make a suggestion to the admins of this forums board.
I spend alot of time here and really enjoy one the topic (or most of them lol) and the people and the information that is so easily accessible. But for some reason or other maybe since this is a new forum or something but the Tradeskill section is not broken into specific Tradeskills Forums just a General one? I say have a General area for General Questions on Tradeskills and then sub forums for say each individual one like Blacksmithing, Herbalism, Alchemy, etc etc etc.
Just a suggestion I hope it helps!
