Vendor Status
"As of February 8th, 2006, all vendors will be required to pay Sponsorship fees to create threads in the Vendor Forum. We are cracking down on non-sponsors advertising their services so our paying Sponsors get the most out of their money."
I'm not a vendor, but I need vendor status to advertise events in the dc/nova/md forum occasionally.
My friend owns 3D Productions, and I'm helping to promote the club by spreading the word and flier for his events about once a month or every couple of months. I don't want to sell anything in the Vendor forum, or in the sponsorship or anything, I just want to promote my friend's company and their edm parties once in a while. Oh and this is a club/party company so they don't make any money off cars or car services or car products, but I know some people on this board would be interested. I'm not advertising any services or anything.
Is there any way to get around the vendor rule, so I can post up an event once in a while?

Re: Vendor Status
No. You are advertising so therefore you need to be a sponsor.

Re: Vendor Status
You're still advertising and hosting an event is a service.

Re: Vendor Status
In any event, you were advertising and need a sponsor account if you want to continue to do so. No more discussion about what-ifs.
