Vendor comment forum

[nickb]

Why has the thread discussing the closing of the vendor rating forum also been locked?

One major benefit of hobby discussion boards like Canreef is the opportunity to share information about vendors, products and places to buy them. If Canreef cancels the vendor rating forum, those comments will start appearing in the general discussion fora instead.

I find it hard to believe that the voume of comments in the vendor discussion forum imposes problems on the server. More likely, this change is due to vendors complaining about negative comments. Does this mean that comments about problems with products and vendors placed in other fora will also be removed?
