Reply to "Make a new Section for Store Ads?"

Thanks for the links.  I really do understand both sides to this process.  I know Vendors are doing everything to help with their businesses, and I appreciate that (I really do - this is not lip service as I've purchased items due to those posts).  I also know that things have changed in the past 3 years which is when the latest topic was discussed.

I would throw this topic out the Vendors as well - if they are posting almost every day, that means just a few of their posts will remain on Page 1 depending on how many posts are done by member.  That means that some will be pushed to Page 2 before they are seen, including those that don't post as often, meaning their topics won't be seen by as many members.

So would it be better to have a single Forum for Vendor information/Specials that everyone knows that every post is from a Vendor and that those posts will stay on Page 1 longer (that really does make a difference) or have it as is where there is an understanding that not all their posts will be read (as they are on older tabs) or not read at all?

This is all about exposure and there are plusses/minuses.  On one hand, they could be on Forum Topics that are the most active, but not all their posts may be looked at as they are not on the first page (i.e. no change).  On the other hand, they would have their own location for their posts that anyone who goes to that Forum knows exactly what to expect and they know if they go to Page 2 or farther back, they can see older posts by the Vendor knowing that the member wouldn't have to wade through member posts to find the Vendor ones.

I can't say which way they feel is better. I know they are the backbone of this Forum and I'm just throwing out the question to see if there is a better way to do what the intent is (for everyone).  I don't know if they look at this specific Forum section, but it would be interesting to get their input.
