As a result, while I may check out supporting vendors first, if their products are more expensive or not as well supported as others I can find on the internet, I'm not going to buy from them.
The real advantage to the supporting vendor thing is that forum users get to watch those vendors post (or not) on the forums. There are a few particular vendors on this forum that are always around, very helpful and straightforward, and seemingly make their customers very happy. These are the types of vendors that will have my business, but not because they pay to run the site--because they have demonstrated a superior level of customer service.

I agree with your statement and this site is run by the money collected from supporting vendors. So, I ALWAYS encourage people to buy their stuff from supporting vendor. Every product you buy from our vendor, you're helping keep The370Z alive.
Now, here's my input on this issue (or someone making a thread spamming pms to other members about non paying vendors). If you're going to support our vendors and buy product from them - fine, DO SHARE and talk about it. If you want to buy products from some other vendors on the internet, it's totally up to you. It's your money and your car. Just don't make thread here on the forum and talk about it. Keep it to yourself.
Our private message system is for non commercial use (asking questions/greetings/forum discussion between members) and our supporting vendors. As it clearly states when you go to your inbox and our forum rules.
