It is becoming increasingly clear that folks just don't get what is going on in this forum, so I'll make it as clear as I can without divulging information that is private to the affected individuals.
An announcement was made and so was sticky. I know, I now no one ever reads the announcements or the stickies... so here it is again.
The Modding Forums are not meant to be a place to sell mods , parts of mods, half completed mods, components , wire or anything else. This forum is intended to be a resource for modding and modders, a place to share ideas, ask questions, and yes even brag.
Several threads have been closed/deleted/removed because the threads became place where selling by PM, email, or offsite link was occurring. These threads will NOT be reinstated for the simple fact that I refuse to dedicate the required manhours to cleanse these mega threads of all the offending posts.
Discussing these mods in the appropriate forum (mods discussion) or getting support from fellow modders with repairing and modifying them by posting in the modding forums is ok. It is how these forums are meant to be used.
Linking people offsite from ECF is usually not an issue, but until the selling stops in the modding forums I am instructing the staff to moderate with a heavy hand any posts that appear to be promoting the behavior that caused this "crackdown". Though this cleanup of the forum may appear like a new crackdown, many people will attest that this area of was heavily scrutinized not long ago and several "issues" were detected and corrected.

The modders that register and become suppliers will have their threads locked and a link to their thread in the suppliers forum added, this way you can continue to get support from them in the appropriate area of the forum.
