WTF-Somebody explain this one to me:

Our vendors tend to be poor marketers. Few promotions, sales or new announcements.
Doubt the banner clicks bring much fresh business.

That is true.

Most don't think they need to with the pocket audience.

NOS4GN is decent, but overall you hit the nail on the head.

Explain the above to me Mr webmaster- simple machine glitch?

I wonder how long the paying vendors will put up with no banner ads. Very surprised that wasn't high on their list when they redid the site.

Believe me Mark, they have been bitching. You guys just don't get to see it.

given their joy at wielding the ban hammer...

I have seen it mentioned a few times by vendors...

Not the forums I get to see. Mods have their own forum so we can discuss what's going on.
