Add Task Forces and Strike Forces to LFG

I'd love to see the LFG feature get more use (and I'd love to see it work with more consistency, as well).

You can also;
Join a teaming/TFing/Badging global channel on your server, alot of TFs will get organsied on the fly through these.
Post in your servers forum page a set time / date you wish to run your TF of choice, and gather interest that way.
Or I suppose join an SG that does frequent stuff.
While an update to the LFG tool would be nice, for TFs it probably wouldnt work. I did a Sister Psyche last night that I put to together, took about 15 - 20 mins of recruiting before heading off with 6.
If I had logged in and put myself in the LFG for Sister Psyche, I could have been waiting hours fo rit to start, if it at all would have, and because of the way the LFG tool works, I wouldnt have been able to do any instanced missions at all... which sucks.
So while its a neat idea, I suspect it would be harder to work out, since everything else dumps you onto a team/league in a single mission, and it has better alternatives that still allow you to do other things while waiting to start.

Using these types of tools effectively (i.e. not locking people out of other content while using them) promotes more people using them. I am also optimistic in thinking that once Freedom goes live to everyone, there will be more people running through the content that hasn't seen a lot of traffic. For those of us who have reasons that we haven't been using the suggested alternatives, I'll just leave it at that, and hope for a tool that helps me, and others like me, get into more of the content.
It's possible that the Devs are looking for ways to improve the LFG tool. It could be more efficiently utilized.

Hope this gets looked at as LFG could be an awesome tool one day

For those of us who want to run these, but never know if anyone is on to do them, could we please add a tab for these to the LFG tool?
Many of my characters never get around to doing any of these due to the sheer amount of standing around that happens while building a team. This way, you'll get groups together without all of the down time. Granted, they'll be PUGs, which I know some people hate, but that's the beauty of LFG. If you already have an SG, or other good team going, you can hit up LFG to fill a slot or two, or just won't need it.
For those of us who regularly miss out on this content due to limited time in game, or whatever reason, this would be a great addition.
Searching LFG on the forums doesn't bring up any results. That seems broken to me.
