haha i thought same

True but a quick google search found these vendors and sure they may become sponsors in the future but they were already members on canreef before and could have done so at anytime , I'm sure they have their reasons

I'm all for forumns trust me lol but from a business point of view the money going in has to bring a certain profit if it doesn't then it's time wasted and money.

Yes not all stores use the forumns to its potential and each vendor has their own reasons for joining up , believe me no business is going to flush money down the drain they have reasons for sponsoring .

Ill always be a canreef member I'm into the hobby both financially and emotionally and I'm in it to far to just duck out I treat this site like a full time job first thing in the morn and last thing at night I do lol would you believe I get sometimes 50 emails a day, I've seen some changes though and I look st the number of members now compared to when I joined.....not a whole lot more its always been in the eight thousand and I think we can do better, more members means more business for sponsors , more business means money well spent, lately there hasn't been a whole lot of new peeps active on the site and I think this has to do with some of the major stores dripping out let's face it the reason most of us found canreef was through either a lfs or respected member, if both of those are gone then so the member numbers drop.

Part of this is also online business don't have that face to face communication so referencing to a forumn doesn't happen

I think he's been abducted by aliens.
I had actually decided to pick you, Denny, as my replacement, but then you joined Dave and a conflict arose. Keener is part time on some forums, but he's too smart to take my job
As for the business side of things, while some are leaving, new ones are coming on board. It's always been that way. I have no idea what the rates are, I didn't know they went up, and I haven't heard any reasons for changes. We'll have to wait and see how things go. I know for Titus, this is simply a business, and if it fails to earn him a profit, I'd imagine he'd shut down or sell.
