Now that we have tried a week long swap thread, I thought I would see how people like the idea. We have been doing weekend swap threads and SSPs, do you think this is better or were things o.k. like they were?

Thigs (i.e., Thiggies, are easier to find on the Open Forum.

I disagree on the later posts part. PCGS used to have the number of views next to each thread a while ago I believe,if that system was still on,the swap would have had the record of views. In the last one, I posted an additional non ebay coin on Monday and it was sold within hours.
But I have nothing against SSPs from regulars ,especially when one of us has a number of usually interesting items to sell, I did one very recently myself with a giveaway. No need to abuse the system with repeat SSPs for one or two common items at a time either. Mostly, it's the ones from people who only come for this that I find annoying, but to repeat Clankeye's astute observation, the Darkside has a great way of self regulating itself.
Anyway, our weekend swap lasts in fact half the week, if someone wants to post a late item in the middle of the week, I don't see the problem.Again, time will tell which system suits us best. To me these swaps are definetely very important threads for both buying and selling.

Dimitri: Do you disagree with "Swap threads tend to get pretty long..." or "I wonder..."

Try posting some of your beauties late in a weekend swap and see how quickly they will be gone, especially if the price is right.
Apparently you'll also make wildjag happy.
