This message is in response to your self identification as a potential vendor on registration. Please know, in keeping with our desire to keep the Badger and Blade forums as commercial-free as possible, this message is an invitation but also a notification that posts made in an effort to promote a business here at B&B are subject to some clear limitations, so we'd like you to know that such posts are forbidden here without a valid Hobbyist or Vendor subscription.

If you have no desire to participate in the paid hobbyist or vendor program, we encourage you to carry on as a member and feel free to share your thoughts and opinions about the joys of wet shaving and other manly pursuits (just not about your personal/financial sales endeavors). Posts promoting your business may lead to revocation of your membership.

If you choose not to subscribe as a Hobbyist or Vendor here and your username is reflective of your commercial endeavor, please select another one and note it in your reply to this email.

If a Hobbyist or Vendor subscription interests you, please know that subscriptions start at $100/year for hobbyists and $300/year for vendors (all payable in quarterly installments if you prefer), and include the ability to advertise your business in the appropriate forum and in your signature line.

The vendor level includes additional premium services designed to help your business make the most of your presence here. Given the high visibility our site affords, we are certain that any vendor or hobbyist with a quality product to offer will recoup the expenditure (and much more) quite quickly in B&B-originated sales.

A hobbyist subscription here requires no moderator team approval -- simply let uis know this is your prefered choice and we will restore your account to full access. To purchase your hobbyist subscription click the "contribute" link at the top of any B&B page and choose a hobbyist subscription (payments are handled via paypal).

If you would like to apply to be approved for a vendor subscription here, we kindly ask that you reply to this email to request the vendor approval questionnaire. It is our hope that you'd not find these questions onerous, but instead indicative of our desire to maintain high standards of excellence among those who sell to our large member base.

Thank you for your understanding, and for acknowledging receipt of this message. If you have any questions about the Hobbyist or Vendor subscription program, please do reply for assistance.
