caserri Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 We started primarily as a bulk vending forum. For the first couple of years, full line discussions were limited on TVF. However, I've been watching the full line activity increase steadily over the years. Check out these "all-time" statistics... These numbers represent how many times a topic was viewed in each category since 2007. The full line guys are making a decent run considering bulk had a major head start. Bulk Vending - 2,790,413 Full Line - 1,564,799 Current as of this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 No. Us bulk guys are WAY more cantankerous. We'd slap our own mother if she was hiding a quarter in her cheek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo Duck Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I've watched this also. I think the Full-Line sub forum actually fulfills Steve's vision for the forum (vendors helping vendors) better than bulk, and I'm a bulk guy. After a few years most bulk guys know how to run a business so the fellowship and giving back to the newbies are the main reasons for being a part of this community. The Full-Line guys on the other hand are often running across new technical problems and can draw from the resources of many fellow vendors, even if they are already very good at what they do.

caserri Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Almost 1 year later and full line is still surging. I have seen days (today especially) where I am approving 20+ posts from new members in the full line section and zero in bulk. You bulk guys need to start picking it up.

Maybe this recent quote from the bulk vending forum might explain the gap. "My favorite thing about the internet is you can get vending advice from people with zero vending machines and zero vending advice! Its on the internet , so its got to be true! Thanks Jim!"

mainor5251 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I think both moon dog and bravo duck are dead on. there's always have seemed to be more unity with the full line guys then the bulk guys. and after a while a lot of bulk guys just don't feel like dealing with a couple golpher bags that have had free rain to disrupt the productive threads in the bulk section and hide behind the same old excuse of just trying to add levity to the forum and that it's everyone else's fault the rest of us lack a sense of humor.
