Perhaps a forum on gear and consumables pricing to build a database over time of what a good price for different things are like tig filler, vendors offering consistently better prices.
Bulk buy opportunties so that members can collaborate to bulk purchase things perdiodically.
ie do a six month bulk buy of filler rods for tig welding. All members can add to the shopping list, send out the list to a couple of vendors or more and then get a bulk buy to save the members some money.
Could the TIG welding forum be split into steel/aluminium/stainless/exotic/general
