Look how many vendor left due to the increasing costs.
Most of the members In Edmonton also left do to the vendors leaving.
(Using Facebook instead)
More vendors = more members = more money
It's sad to say but without vendor canreef will not be here.
Me and reefwars tryed to explain this before and the thread got off topic really quick and got deleted.
I will say it's nice to see Titus on here actually looking at the problem we told u was going to happen.
Phil thanks for the recent PM but there is more to it as I've been wanting to do this for so long for the past 3 years but just haven't had the luxury of getting to it. Enough is enough for me and I just needed to do something this year. The comment about "It's sad to say but without vendor canreef will not be here." is so untrue and it's sad that I see this from time to time. Content and the social experience ranks at the top for me so anything to be built will have these addressed and taken care of first.

There's more I can't remember off the top of my head.

And I know your gonna see more leave befor more come back.
I like how you are categorizing them and the experience of how you started on here but landed on Facebook. Never thought of it that way. Thanks as this will help compliment a feature I want to add to the new buy/sell section.

Titus
