Just a follow up from this thread,
The more observant of you may have noticed that Peter has renewed his ongoing sponsorship, We also welcome EP training as a co-sponsor of the forum many will know of Sean and EP Training. There is also one more training provider that has joined as co-sponsor, however announcing this is a little delayed due to technical reasons.
For the record, to ensure there are no shouts of favouritism etc, quite a few companies were approached ( I sent sales a list of those I knew were/had been active on the forums, that was the end of my involvement in this process)- most declined to become sponsors, some took a while to decide or didn’t respond at all. The three sponsors for the forum that are in place are the ones that came back quickly with a positive response. Luckily between the three there is a wide North/South Geographical spread so all three are not in the same similar location.
Each sponsor has their own fixed thread to announce their news and offers, and for questions for the sponsor to be posed by the members. so the forum will not be overrun with the sponsors promotions rather than members questions/debate, and allow the sponsors to quickly identify questions aimed directly at them.
Those trainers that are not sponsors are still more than welcome to take part in the forum, to offer advice, and help . what they cannot do is use the forum is advertise their services, but if a member asks if there is training available in Timbuctoo and they have a training base there , there is nothing stopping them sending the member a private message informing the member.
I hope this resolves some of the issues raised in this thread and addresses some of the concerns of both our sponsors and those who choose not to become sponsors.
