Non Hosted Support Advertisement?

[Raptor]

Well, I guess I don't have too much concern for it since I believe the general customer base I deal with is pretty loyal. In defense of all local shops though, I see the concern there and like SpeedFreak mentioned, there should be some sort of exclusive advantage to being a paying sponsor. As AJ mentioned, if others want to advertise here, they have the same opportunity we do, they pay to sponsor and I say they are welcome. And Shane of course brings up good points as well, it is pretty obvious when a shop is violating the basic implied rules anyway. Common sense definately should come in to play. So on that note, define rules and establish some sort of penalty for bending them.

Local shops are better anyway, why would people ever want to go anywhere else, between the shops sponsored on this board, we have most everything covered anyway.
