Default A question for all...

Is there a reason vendor's keep posting items for sale in this forum instead of the "C6 VENDOR SALE" forum? I personally find it annoying when they keep posting on their own threads to keep them on the first page and no one else is commenting. Is it just me, am I the dick head? Just curious.

It used to be wayyyyy worse a few years ago. I remember logging in, being bombarded with more than 50% vendor threads, and then just giving up and logging off.

There are some guidelines they have to adhere to...but I guess I’m just used to it.

I think the admins should do something about it. It sucks when I try and look at the site while using my phone and its clustered with the same vendor ads every day. SMH...

I do most of my reading on my iPad and just skip the vendor posts. Yes they overdo it by bumping their posts, but just skip them. Realize that their fees pay for a lot of this forum.

I"ll do it occasionally if it's a package deal or new product. If you're in vendor for sale you already have a product in mind and you are looking to buy it. If your a road race guy and I post a sale on sways and drop spindles, you may not necessarily have been in the market but go ahead and purchase because you save a bit. It's all about reaching your target audience.

That being said.... I understand where you are coming from, it would annoy me too, but it's kind of a necessary evil.

You need to remember that it is forum vendors that are paying for this site and keeps it free for us. Just skip over the vendor ads, not that big of a deal if you ask me.

I don’t really give it much thought, it does not bother me.
