As the forum is powered by hobbyists, the buy/sell populating the front page drives visitors to that section, as well as those who are just looking to buy / sell to other posts.

I think this suggestion has merit so the council will definitely confer on this to see if this is something that would make sense to (re)implement. We can't make any promises though. Here is a bit of background on this particular item for everyone's information. One of the main reasons why that the buy/sell was taken off of the active threads feed was because many people felt that it would often get to a point where the buy/sell activity would clutter the front page. While I agree that buy/sell posts are very useful to the members here, we have to consider one of our prime objects, and that is to foster an environment of knowledge sharing. That is after all what a forum is for, right ? When things got really busy in the buy/sell you could easily find the entire first page of active threads full of nothing but buy/sell, thus depressing the active discussion threads.
