Vendor feedback and interaction forum

One of the features that I really find useful from my salt water reef forum is a section dedicated to the vendors.

For example for LJ we would have a forum for each of the suppliers: Rockler, Woodworks, Tool King, etc. We could then invite each supplier to interact with their respective forum. This provides LJs with a place to rate and interact with the vendors. Also the vendors might be inclined to provide discounts to LJ’s or something along those lines. Maybe we could also have forums for MFGs like Jet, Delta, Grizzly, etc. as well.

On the salt site we use it to ask questions about products, check inventory, get better customer service, work out deals, etc.
