Sorry for taking so long to respond. I am also sorry for my poor communication skills. I am not a native speaker of English.
What I meant was something like this:
Under the supplier we can have a sub forum inside which all the vendors will be listed by the moderators as different threads (maybe alphabetically) and users can share their reviews in the threads specific to the vendors. The general discussions, questions etc. can go under the main "Supplier" forum.
Hierarchy wise it would look something like this:
Supplier
-Vendor List
|____Vendor A
|____Vendor B
|____Vendor C
|____Vendor D
-Sticky thread 1
-Sticky thread 2
-Threads started by users
- -do-
- -do-
- -do-
- -do-
Right now if I want to see what people are saying for a certain vendor, if I just go to the Supplier section, I can a bunch of discussions going on about the vendors and many important threads are buried deep inside and are also out of date. When I do a search about a certain vendor, I find lots of old threads, some irrelevant, some start with the vendor but end up discussing extraction methods or a different vendor and some are just out of date mainly because it's buried so deep that it's hard to maintain with up to date information.
Does my suggestion make sense now?
I don't have any idea about the feasibility of asking money from vendors as sponsorship as LostKeys suggested.
Thanks again
