Swap Meet?

I realize we already have a help wanted section, we also have a freebies section but would it be within the realm of possibility to create a section devoted to work swapping?

What I'm thinking about would go something like this, create 2 new forum sections, where threads are alive for a max of say 5-7 days.

Code for Art, Artists needing coding done, post here asking for some specific coding to be done, in exchange for Art

Art for Code, Coders needing artwork done, post here with what specific artwork you need done, and what you are willing to do to get it.

Code for Code, Scripters swap for C++, C++ swap for script, or some such thing.

Art for Art, 2D for 3D, 3D for 2D, Gui work for Concept Art etc.

Anyways, maybe it's because I'm a coder in severe need of artwork, but I think a section like that could get really active, and of course the 5-7 day limit for post life, would prevent the problems we have in the Help Wanted section, where ads are sometimes months too stale.

Lemme know what you think!

It's actually an interesting idea.

Granted, the swapping isn't new, but providing a consolidated space dedicated to exactly that could be useful.
