Vendor Forum or Sticky

[Elcs]

I believe it to be beneficial to forum traffic and post space that a Forum or thread be made to contain a list of Vendors, shipping agreements and other stuff.

Im from the UK and I find it difficult to get help with some problems. I can get good suggestions from other users, mainly US and I cannot find these products in the UK. I have a list of about 20-25 UK suppliers and that contains some of the best from our country and sometimes, I cannot even get close to what is suggested. If I cannot find an item in the UK, its hard to get a response from someone else in the UK. I mean, I know of only 1 vendor selling ThermalRight stuff in the UK and we pay easily double over the US. I think it would be a good idea that we have some sort of vendor list for the minority groups. Once compiled, it shouldnt take much to keep clean. This could also be a helpful utility for US people as well. I dont know how good Pricewatch.com is but if its as good as Pricewatch.co.uk then you need help.

I cant think of much else to add on this topic. Worst problem I can think of is probably a problem with the FS/FT Forum, with Resellers or stores trying to get their own advertising in. However, rough must be taken with smooth to provide a service some times.

Opinions welcome. I look forward to reading replies.

I think you have a good idea; although a new forum will not be created for that purpose (as the admins have said no time and time again to many new forum requests), a thread would be great (IMHO). Perhaps you could start one, and as other people suggest things, it could grow. If you would like to see it have a sticky, send "AnandTech Moderator" a PM with your thread and request and hope that they agree that it should be pinned to the top.

Thanks for the Feedback. I would 'start' a thread but in what forum do you stick it? Its kind of a wide topic and i dont think it would be appreciated in General Hardware.

When I get back from college :frown: and do homework , then Ill stick a new thread down in Cases & Cooling. If any Anandtech Moderator wants to post here with feedback or wants to move the thread, do so and give me any directions as to what I can do.
