If this was a business entity, such as ebay, then I may agree. But Vivid, Stillen, AAM, etc are not completing monetary transactions through this site. They may initiate business through here, and make contacts, but money does not change hands between Z owners and sponsors literally through the370z.com

There are plenty of forums who are able to keep a feedback system in place and still have plenty of vendors supporting the forum.

Again, why the emphasis on vendors? This forum is here for the community, i.e. 370z owners, right? The forum members are just as important as the vendors.
