That just means the owners are here for profit. A forum isn't that costly to run as I own a full vbulletin site myself.

It's the users who make the place happen. Without the customers, these vendors would be non-existent.

I have had several people PM me in this regards already. Right now, I am keeping it under wraps. Too many spies/fanboys to have to worry about.

Honestly, anything is possible. Threads disappear all the time with no warning. I've also heard from several members about bannings.

Like I said, vendors rule so we have to be cautious.

The funny thing is that you can praise a vendor to no end but when you shout out against them it's a whole other ball game. They want accolades when things go well but you should go to hell if you speak against them if something goes wrong.

Pay to play. I think there were only a handful of posts in the Vossen thread when it suddenly disappeared.

...I'll likely have a doozy coming up. Currently being stonewalled by a manufacturer. Letting my lawyer handle it. But will post about it once it is resolved and I have my money back.

Agreed.

It sounds like I've had OK luck compared to others because I've dealt with five forum vendors and only two were bad.
