Twice you were asked about the future of members who are also vendors, and twice that question was skirted...and I am interested in the answer.

Will members that are vendors like Don at WCCC be able to continue to make posts telling us about their wares, show a link to their site, post pics of their wares, etc. in the same manner they always have without fee or penalty?

I know everyone here understands the spirit of this question, so please answer it with that in mind.

Thanks

Sorry if i wasn't clear enough. Everything in regards to current rules on the forum about members and vendors will not be changing. If vendors right now are allowed to post freely on the forum then that will not change for current vendors of the forum. So yes Don at WCCC will still be allowed to tell you about his product and post pictures and links to there site WITH OUT penalty. Because this is an existing format on the site.

Those types of rules are put on sites to stop people from filling the site with the wrong kind of content. nobody wants to be on a site that is all ads and vendor posts. But Logan had his way of doing things and it kept the forum in good order, no need to change that for the current vendors who are respectful of the forum.

Well I was reading another post and really wanted to thanks Logan for all he has done for the Cougar community and also all the help I recieved from other members here. Also was going to add that maybe we should give the new owners time to prove themselves before we all jump on them, only to find the post was locked and I could not comment!! EEEWwww, sour taste.
Anyway, If you're out there Logan, good luck with your new spare time and thankyou for this site.Also you mentioned you twin daughter was 8yrs old, How old is the other??hehe

As you see admin! we are a close knit group. We enjoy the friendships we have made on here, the information we can get from this site. We knew Logan, maybe not in person. But he had a name to us, and was a real person. As I have seen it so far your just an anonymous admin! I have over the years been to lots of different car forums. I really hate too see this one become all about making money, advertising, and take away from what made me enjoy this forum so much better than ll the other ones I have been to. I don't like spam, Logan did a fantastic job of keeping it off this site. I hate seeing post where the forum sticks advertisements on the bottom of each post. If this is going to be what your planning anonymous Admin. Please go some other place. we do not want it!

I see the "Important Announcement" thread is now closed. I guess we were asking too many tough questions. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm not liking this so far. It lakes a lot longer for the site to load now when you first enter. I guess if worst comes to worst we can all migrate to another site and carry on.

Dwight, I don't like the ads either, but lets give Helena a chance to prove she is going to be a good admin.... Change sucks, but in this one we have no choice.

From what I understand, there will be a subscription option that will reduce the ads when you are logged in. We will see how well that works in the next couple of months. The alternative of having no MCNET is just not acceptable to me.

I hope your back is felling better and the Docs give you good news soon.

OK Helena, I am being an optomist here and sticking up for you, don't let us (the community) down....:uhoh:

this is also a better place to buy one, or to at least get the heads up on a sale elsewhere.

I hope it's not like "thank you for calling my name is Peggy...." My point was. I really don't want to see this as a money grab form some company, Whose interest is all about money, Rather than a someone like Logan that was about the community. I have been a contributing member of this community for 4 years now. I went to a ford forum just the other week. at the end of many of the post there were advertisements, many not even related to the post, or the forum for that matter. This is what happens when someone takes over a site to make money vs for the love of what the forum is about. Logan wasn't about the money. I will give Helena a chance, But I wanted to be up front about what is important.

[Admin]

We make more money if you are all happy and have good content then by placing an ad on the forum. It isn't about taking money from members. We need you to be happy, that's what matters. And I am as helpful as i can be... and i try to keep my forums happy. I have a lot of pride in the things that i take on... mercurycougar.net is no exception
