From past experience moderating a board, just my two cents in here.
If you're a vendor, use the vendor account. If you're no longer a vendor, make a personal account and don't use the vendor account anymore. I know it can be a pain in the ass, but it's even more of a pain in the ass when someone doesn't want to be a vendor anymore and still has a bunch of vendor posts flying around out there. IIRC some boards will go through and delete any old vendor posts if they lapse their payment or decide not to continue, so at least you have that. It's a fine line and it's no fun for mods to have to make those calls, and from another vendor's perspective it's a bit unfair to be active all of the time but only expected to uphold your vendor status while you have something new to sell..
