It was about to be.
Unfortunately the marketplace as it was would become inoperable at the end of this month because of required technology updates. I fought for a long time (much longer than I knew it would be shut down) to salvage it and tech just did not have the resources. We've had a forum-based marketplace on TheHullTruth.com for YEARS with no issues. So I assure you, the new layout is very workable. We gave everyone a preview about three weeks ago.

Wow, that's completely wrong
For reference, our Auto sites (not in my department) get first rollout of
everything. They're the testing ground and we actually get more stable releases of basically everything. People who license vBulletin are lucky if they get anything beyond basic security updates and bug fixes. They mostly custom-code their plug-ins and products.
