As a newbie I would like to see what Rory suggested:
A forum, or atleast a sticky somewhere, that has nothing but links to reputable websites where one can purchase items from.
From what I have read people are willing to suggest items for a particular application, but when it comes to where to buy and for how much, that part of the conversation seems to end up happening via a PM. Why is that?

I have one for you. How about integrating "SKYPE" into this forum like EBAY has it. this way if people need to speak with one another they can really "TALK" here.

That is a great idea. You should try that out on your own website. I think that is a good idea in a sales environment. 
I don’t know how well that would work here though because most people are here to share information with many people who frequent these forums. Probably not a need for many one on one or conference type conversations.
That kind of defeats the whole purpose of the forum. But I could be wrong, maybe a thread should be started and ask peoples opinions

in the forum you can see the other members who are online. Therefore if you need to speak with that person immediately why have to wait and post and wait for response and wait, and wait, when you can have your answer in moments.

Reg'd users only should have access to forums no Guests
When registration is being completed it should be mandatory to put at least your country, makes it handy if your trying to find someone in same country as yourself
How about Country Threads, just like USA etc + Europe ?

Locking the forum to only registered users screws over end users. We have a locked section of the forum for dealer only discussions.

Neutech makes a good point about stating your country. This should be a mandatory field which would allow users to provide other users with pertinent recommendations, dealers, and equipment locally available to them.
