On our small and humble TYP901.org site we sell the banner ads which then allows those commercial entities a certain number of commercial posts per year under our For Sale headings

I know that John, Chuck and the other members of the board continue to review this topic...

Good comments in here and as usual our Mods are trying to do their best in the common interest. I am not used to interact into this "debate of idea". I am in the same situation as some of us : I own a pretty small business in early Porsches (Classic Tribute) which I do not advertise at all onto the Forum, even on my signature (on ESSES yes), and yes I do sell parts from time to time but personals/private NOT in benefits of Classic Tribute company.
My call.

I am strict on separating the 2 as I consider this forum as non commercial. However I have been more than happy to source parts from pros which are well known in here, and some are REALLY helpful by even providing free tips.


What I have in mind : the Pros, to advertise cars, parts and services under their commercial banner, must pay an add into ESSES on a yearly basis, then the board should conatin a vendor section which list the paid commercial (pros) only, with their details. no advert ! The advert should continue to be listed as it is. You may consider having their ads under their own name listed into the Vendor section.
I seen this running quite well in a french forum.

Now it is quite tricky to diffentiate the pros and the non pros. However I believe pros have not interest to list parts "under cover" for obvious business purposes.

My 2 cents (as you said )

sorry, need to ask: what is meant with a 'bump'?

[72targa]

Thanks for asking! It's when one posts a comment to a thread, "bumping" it to the beginning/top of the forum, making it the newest thread.

As we all know it is possible to be both a genuine enthusiast and a vendor/manufacturer at the same time. Where would this forum be without the valuable contributions from these people, both technical info and new products/old parts?? For sure a less interesting place.

I support all honest reliable guys in the business the best way I can, directing people in their direction when I have the chance.

Lets make it a bit easier for the good guys who are supporting the Registry and helping us keeping these cars old on the road. A vendor section is a great idea.

Personally I would prefer all in the biz (large and small scale) to make it clear in their signature who they are, transparency is a good thing. If you are a vendor or in the biz, be proud of it, I would!
