Yup, this is how the current plugin included above and available for download on our site currently works. Again, iframes are kind of seen as unsexy but we're kind of proud of what we've done with it... I haven't seen anyone else do it like this before.

Yes, we did a bunch of research during the summer of '08. What we saw is that when forums lock their classifieds down in this way it greatly reduces the quality of the classifieds. The number of listings plummet. We understand why they choose to do it, but we think we have a better way.

At the moment, this is a value add to enhance the community. We do have ideas on how we'll also be able to turn it into a driver of traffic to the communities, though. But those are still a little ways down the road.
