Given what's been going on with cl lately, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was permanent, and also wouldn't be surprised if very soon you have to have a PVA to post in any section anywhere.
If you have existing PVAs, take very good care of them.
If you don't, you better get some while the prices are still low.
I foresee a time when you'll be coughing up $10 each for accounts.
Super spammers take note: burning through 500 PVAs a day is a bad business move. You'll kill your own marketplace by doing it. You'll make the cost per post too high to be profitable. Today you can buy them for a couple bucks. At $10-15 each it's gonna be a lot harder to make money.
