How about incorporating "whatizdis" into an existing subforum as "Appraisals and Identification?"
The line between the two is at times quite fuzzy.
C&V has been liberally infested with ID requests, more so lately it seems to me, which pushes other stuff off the front page?
Sometimes I relish a good mystery, and sometimes it's annoying to have someone post a seller's pic from some CL or FB or ebay listing, and the ID can't be made because the forks can't be pulled or the underside of BB can't be photographed, or the item is sold. If the ID requests had their own place, even in Appraisals, I could choose to visit when the mood strikes?

(Caveat: I don't visit any other subforum here except "Appraisals." I do CR. I don't do any other Social Media. My mileage may vary?)
