I not only feel sorry for the forum users and, to a degree, the moderators, but I also feel sorry for the vendors as well.  There are quite of lot of products that I would have purchased here this month that I have put in my cart.

1 suggestion - sitemail the vendors that you are not purchasing from and tell them why.  They are in a better position to put pressure on the "management" than the customers.  They are the ones that actually supply the site content.
