why is it not allowed?  I personally only buy from them if i can't find it anywhere else because everything is so expensive.

Because this website and message forum is supported by the store and members here. You can purchase a lot of parts here and if not no one has a problem with you using them just don't advertise for them here.

But the mods allow all other places to be referenced except that place.  If they really were interested in it just being about supporting this site, they'd ban them to.

It's more about that place being cheaper in certain items, and personal issues....

topp you are asking to get banned yourself. Would Chevy allow Ford to advertise on their website or vice versa? Don't disrespect the people that bring you this forum.

Not trying to disrespect, but every other forum I belong to, they mod allow the users to decide where to get there items, with no censorship at all.  It actually boosts the forums memberships because the members actually get to shop around and in some cases get discounts just for being members....

Funny, even talking about this is "walking on thin Ice". 

And the analogy of "chevy allowing ford" is apples and oranges...
More like DIY4x vs ORD, and neither of those sites prohibit members from mentioning the other....

Topp, you've expressed your opinion.  I would suggest you respect the site's policy.  No one will make you agree with it.  It's hard to place a value on the advice you get here, so why not just accept things and tell us more about your truck!  That's what we're here to talk about.  If this site had rules that I couldn't live with I wouldn't come back.  The rule we're talking about here really isn't much of an inconvenience.

I am respecting the policy.

There is no post regarding what can and can't be mentioned...No master list of "vendors that aren't approved/mentioned"

So I have to ask/discuss, since there is no info...

Wasn't trying to be rude.  I was caught off guard by this at first too, but understand and accept it.  Enjoy the site!

This forum is unlike most others in this respect.  Most others are run off of advertising dollars first and usually have no related store.  Just something to keep in mind.

In the end, not mentioning "that other vendor" is pretty insignificant relative to the wealth of information and support that awaits you on this forum.

It seems to be just that one though.  There are several others (I am not gonna mention them) that do even more business that this site does as well, yet they are allowed...

This is confusing...It's OK if it's "A,C or E" company, but not "B or D" company...

No one is telling you where you can and can't buy your items. When people come on here trying to promote other vendors for items that are sold here it's disrespectful. If you choose to shop there more power to you. I've bought several items from other vendors as well as from here. These are the rules and just respect them please.
