Re: Do we even have sponsor any more?

not really, supporting membership fees pay for the site now and the admin figured we did not need sponsors or see a need for it when they did the revamp a long time ago

its a shame, usually sponsors are willing to cut deals with members from sites they sponsor.

NOPE!!! Steve runs this website from his OWN money!! Supporting membership is just an AID to the expense which is not even much. From the new Vb software to a new server (if needed), all expanse comes from Steve's pocket...

That's nice of Steve, but I really have to question that move. Sponsors do cut members deals, and we have people backdooring. I don't see a need for him to bear the burden.

Sponsors also clutter the website and you have alot of the members join just to get the deals

Clutter?? How so?

So what if people join just for the deals, even if only a few stick around to post regularly then its a win/win/win situation. Sponsors sold some stuff, member got a deal on parts and the board gained a new member.

I've seen/been on some boards with nicely done sponsorships. One, in fact, has lots of ads until you login, when you do that they disappear for the most part.

I am going to be honest, I sponsor fullthrottlev6.com :) Was told to remove my links to my website here when I had them in my sig. lol.

Most companies are not going to stick with a forum though if they don't see updates and active mods and admins. Which brings us to the other point of needing to refresh our moderator list with current users. Some mods have not been on in months which is horrible
