You say that over and over Clint - but yet IB never hid he was a store admin before, in fact it was directly asked if it would affect admins and the answer was "no" - when this was first started. I was a merchant here remember - I never saw a single thing that was "top-secret" or that would have ever influenced anything at 3DA - except what "not" to do. Things not to do; Do not - post a remark about changes as if vendors have a say in it and then when all vendors are against it inform them they really have no choice anyhow, Do not alienate any vendors, they are the lifeblood of a site like this - vendors and customers both - they support the site, Do not show preferential treatment to any vendor/member it does not encourage the best performance from anyone. You can party line it and play it down all you want, but the reality is that it is an exclusion against someone from whom 'rosity was/is making money. It is a discriminatory action and no matter how you try to colour that it doesn't change that one bit. Nowhere when becoming a merchant did it say that vendors affiliated with other sites would not have access to that forum - and that's not a TOS btw - that's a contractual agreement - there is a difference. Never have I ever seen "upcoming business decisions" in that forum that didn't mean change for the vendors - a place for them to have a say in how they felt about those changes - you are taking away the voice of the very vendors who are putting money in your pocket.
