I agree. Why reinvent the wheel?

Furthermore, properly moderating a travel bidding board requires a lot of time and effort. There have been a few threads posted in the Travel Bidding forum that described bids won, but LEFT OUT essential information such as dates (!), bidding strategy, and other important details. So the info posted wasn't really that useful.

Oh, by the way, this is not a new idea either. It keeps coming up over and over but nothing is happening, probably because the resources to do it just aren't there, and there are other boards that already do a decent job ot if. Evidently the OP of this thread is new and unaware of the history behind it.
