This is a better idea instead of making different forums for each vendor, would be a lot more organized too.

 

Why is that? Why can't each vendor have their own subforum? Almost 99% of the forums that I am a member of do this. I am sure the majority of premium members here would agree that subforums for each vendor is easier for all of us. I had to sift through 8-9 pages searching for a deal on exhaust, it was a nightmare.

 

The number of Vendors on this forum are astronomical... Some may not be active very much but they are out there. While it may be feasible for some forums like G35NYC, it's not feasible here.

Great suggestions, I'd love to have it too, but it would be a nightmare.

I'll look into a few other options for organization, but a subforum for each vendor is likely not one.

 

I think this is a possibility... We'll look into it.

 

Make two options, vendors can opted for their own section at a price and ones that do not want their own section will be discounted a bit and will be like it is now. In one place.

Get what I'm sayin??

 

Having it split by vendor wont do much if you are looking for a specific part. You would still have to go in to each vedor and look for the part. Break it in to part catgories and then whatever vendors have the relevant parts post in those sections.

 

^^ what about my idea posted above urs??

 

I think it should be split up by part categories... This makes the most sense.

 

How about do it for vendors w/ a certain post / thread count?

 

Maintenance.

 

Why not ask what the vendors would want??

 

None of the vendors are complaining or making any suggestions so I am too assume everything is satisfactory. Again, we have over 50 vendors and giving each their own sub-forum is out of the question. With the help of other staff members, we will work on adding 4-6 sub-forums and move each thread accordingly..

 

^ Fair enough.

 

I don't think the vendors really take the time to use the vendor forum the way forum members do and they may not think about improvement since they're here to make money, not to peruse the forum. So they might like the re-org too. Status-quo can be satisfactory, but why not make it better

I agree with the category idea, not different sub forum for each vendor. Too many vendors, and some don't have many sales. When you search for a part, you're looking for a part, not a specific vendor.

For exmaple, if I'm looking for coils, I'd just have to click on the Suspension category in the vendor sub forum, and not go through every vendors that may or may not be selling coils.

And having them "bump" their threads everyday would be eliminated. Make me staff of the vendor section
