Sheezy, the main forums are now the "Premium" Sales Forum. The reason the budget forums have been made sub-forums rather than the premium forums is because lower priced sales should not have dominance over the more well priced market.

We feel that with the amount of low, low priced work within our Market Place that we simply had to do something to try and help our fellow freelancers. Hopefully this will be the first step to doing that.

This is by no means a slur on people that do lower priced work, there is a market for it and thats why we have introduced the budget forums for buyers and sellers that work with lower priced budgets. This then prevents the buyers and sellers who don't want to be part of the lower priced market from being drawn into it and will also hopefully encourage any people that may be undercharging to rethink their price plans.

This will also aid buyers as well as the freelancers, buyers that need work done of the cheap will know where to look. Buyers with a larger price range that perhaps want something of top notch quality will also now know where to look.

I think may people here will agree that prices within our Market Place have begun to fall to an extremely low point. We want to try and buck this trend, this is a first step and hope you are all willing to give it a fair try

Also if, as freelancers, you have any other thoughts and ideas on what we can do to help you (the freelancers, that includes sellers and buyers!) to keep the Market Place a fair place for all then please don't be afraid to voice those ideas
