The recent closing of the co-op forum disappointed a lot of us (me included), but I understand why it was problematic for admin, and I'm thankful we had co-ops as long as we did.

If you want to ask why the forum was closed, comment on your disappointment, etc. please go to this thread, http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/921605/#new

We decided we needed a new thread to constructively discuss alternative ways of doing group purchases and offering bargains to the DG community. Hopefully we can work out something through the existing tools of the classifieds and the marketplace.. Dave has already posted his willingness to improve those features so they're more useful for this and other purposes.

Please post your ideas here.

Again, please direct other comments about the closing of the co-ops to the thread linked above, or start a new thread for that purpose. Let's try to keep this discussion focused and positive!
