Would the vendors pay XXX to be here if we (the people..lol) weren't?
It's kind of a catch 22.

I think Canreef normally does an excellent job of keeping a middle ground, one event like this in all this sites years is no cause for concern.

I would hate to think though, that being a canreef member meant I could only use certain products from certain vendors if I wanted to share and communicate about them with this community.

The one aspect to this incident/issue that keeps getting misunderstood is the relationship between the vendors forum verses the canreef general forums. Basically as I understand it the general forums are open discussion. The vendor forums (link above vendor ad) are the vendor's specific spot on canreef for their business.

Perhaps they already exist but I would think some posting guidelines regarding the vendor forums may help a bit.
