I hear both sides of the argument with this.

Its a very specific demographic the panel van community. Very much a love em or hate em type of deal. Yet at the same time, we are supporting one another. The upcoming Albury van show is being hosted by Majestic Vanners......and mySandman is sponsoring a couple trophies for the event. One of those is for 'Most popular Sandman' ..... so in essence, we are helping one another. I hope one day we could start our own "Sandman Nationals" yearly show and have Majestic Vanners come on board and sponsor a few trophies for us.

As for traffic being directed away.... yes and no. If you're a 'sandman' individual, you will always find yourself here at the end of the day .....and if you're more for custom builds, very likely your home base will be on another forum and will be led to this forum on the odd occasion the same way...someone posting a link from said forum. And it happens more often than you think!! People will always stick to where they feel most comfortable and where they feel their loyalties are.

Does that mean putting eBay/gumtree links up means its directing traffic away? No...no it doesn't. It all becomes a reference point for the topic at hand.

Its been a challenge getting people used to posting pics from a host site. For some people, its a totally new process to learn and come to deal with. Its been many months since the change come into play.....and at least once a week, the mod team (and a few helpful members) are going over it with them ...again...and again...and again. But for the greater good, it had to be done. Thus making the point of posting a pic instead of the link becomes a nightmare. I wish it were more simple.

Hope that eases any stress you may be feeling on the matter. But if there is something that concerns you.....the mod team are here for that reason.....so just let us know.
