I have been trying to formulate a response to this thread and have deleted two attempts already. This is one of those things that needs to be looked at very carefully as there are a number of angles to it. I have heard from 4 people today already regarding it and the responses all have valid points.
The BOD will take up the issue in the near future and will come up with a plan. In the meantime and in as respectful a way as possible, if people want to make their voice heard on this subject, please do so. We don't need to call anyone out directly, but keep in mind that what we are talking about could effect not only the Business Sponsors who advertise, but the trading forum and links to anyone that sells anything by way of this site.
There are "mom and pop" operations who make little to nothing, there are others who are attempting to run as a business, there are those working with illegal trademarks who can't advertise without risk to themselves yet they produce a product that we all want. It is a sticky teeter totter of issues that needs to get balanced out fairly.
Whatever decision is found, it will effect a group of people one way or another.
