I actually considered starting up a thread like this ages ago, though a bit more formal, where people could (if they so chose) list their trade / profession / abilities, and have an index page at the front.
Then if someone was looking for said talent they could get a fellow metal head to do it. I know I'd rather be giving my money to a metal head, not to mention if I did some work for a fellow metal head I'd be more inclined to give a good deal or 'mates' rates.
So then if you were looking for a mechanic or something and you found someone here you'd (hopefully) know they wouldn't rip you off, and perhaps you could do something for them in return, like design their business logo etc.
Like a big metal barter system, with the thread being like the metal head yellow pages. Not to mention fuck off GST.
