here are some of the things that i think EF can have.
More detailed market place section. i know there is buy and sell but there is no link exchange and service offering section like if someone wants to make banners. I see some members exchanging links in off-topic section.

The MarketPlace is undergoing some major changes behind the scenes. We plan to release what I feel will be the best MarketPlace system on the web.

One idea could be a 'Special Offers' section which would be where people post about stuff they sell or services, but are only allowed to if they have a big discount, like 50% off. Buyers get stuff for much less only through EF, and the seller gets more business. A great example of this is warriorforum.com/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=15

This should be VERY very VERY interesting. I think that SitePoint has a really good marketplace, so I can't wait to see what will be next.

I'd like to second that. I think it's really interesting learning about people from around the forum. I would say don't just interview the big earners either (although they definitely deserve to be.) Interview people who contribute consistently and intelligently to the forum and have something of value to add.

^ NBT has an interviews section and it's pretty cool. It's always interesting to find out more about people that's making money on the web.

But yeah, I agree. EF should have one :P

(Also, I'm pretty sure Lee thought of the interview section because he's doing an article section too.. so he will surprise us once again.)
