Sees like we are blindsided all of the time because of lack of Vendor participation on the forum.

Some examples are LAL's checkout/website issues and now Alpha Dreams' software issues.

Some other things that happened were LaCroy now shipping to the US, Laid braid website/inventory issues, the recent Androtics announcement and the HAX makeover.

There should be one place where posters can get Vendor news....straight from the Vendor. The Vendors can post sales, specials, new product announcements and news.

If this were available there could be one post...lets say from Garry himself about how to order his products...instead of 30.

It would be read only for posters and Admin approved posts only to curtail Vendor fighting. The Vendor can post and once it's Admin approved it shows up on the forum.

This would of great help around Black Friday for Vendors as each can post Black Friday deals.

We have a private forum for Vendors only where they can post and request that the info be made public if they so choose, which has happened twice in the 6+ years that forum has existed. And, the last time any Vendor posted in that forum was on 03-27-2016 9:45 PM.
