I assume you are talking about:
http://forum.case.edu/read/4/14148/14148#msg-14148 Its winter break, all of the undergrads are off campus and probably not reading the forums. The classifieds weren't meant for advertising services. They are for buying/selling goods. |

There's nothing to stop people from advertising services in the classifieds forum - in fact, as Brian correctly pointed out, the tagline encourages it. But very few people actually do use the forum for that which means ads for services are somewhat unusual and may not attract the desired attention.
However the two most likely reasons are either: 1. Undergrads are on winter break, as David pointed out. Winter break ends Monday. Or, 2. No forum users are interested in the services offered. You can "bump" your ad back up to the top of the forum, where it might attract more attention, by posting in the thread. Good forum etiquette calls for keeping "bumps" to a minimum, though. If you don't get any responses after a few weeks into the spring semester, it probably just means no forum users are interested. I'd try other advertising venues at that point. Edited 1 time(s).
