    Sponsors?

    Since Rupes was recently added to the list of sponsored forums, I was wondering what the difference was in vendor participation etc. between the "Sponsored Forums" section, which includes 3D/High Definition Car Care, Autopia-carcare.com, BlackFireWax.com, Griot`s Garage, and Rupes Polishers, versus the "Machine Polishing & Sanding" forum which is sponsored by Flex Power Tools, and the Optimum Polymer Technologies and Poorboy`s World sub-forums which are in a different section.

    I would guess that if you have a specific question you would post in the manufacture section and they might tend to respond faster as they monitor their area more than others.

    It`s would ask I be in poor taste to talk about vendor A in vendor Bs forum. General questions about polishing or questions about machines without forums would go in machine polishing.

    Re: Sponsors?

    Do you think the sponsors are really that active promoting their products despite sponsoring the forums?

    No, and that`s why I was asking--what the sponsors give and get to be in the sections they are. Because most of them don`t seem to be too active.

    Manufacturers seem more active on European forums.

    I never understood why manufacturers don`t post here more often. It`s free advertising and promotion , and people are more likely to buy stuff if they know they can get their ?s answered.

    Agree with Ron - Just a few unfortunately.

    When I was involved with the marketing of this forum I tried my hardest to bring on sponsors. And after all that hard work, some (most) didn`t even make the time to even participate. Same with DavidB back in the day too. This forum still gets a TON of traffic and I feel is a very viable place for exposure.

    Oh no you didn`t.......

    I guess if you ever piss me off I`ll bring Jerry Pittman on as our main sponsor.
