Then why separate them with a rule?
If the issue is for-profit v non-profit, make that the distinction.
Photoelectric:
It's not a rule, and will be clarified when the change takes place. It's just a suggestion to preface threads with an abbreviation that better describes the contents. The only actual rule will be the numbers of concurrent GBs/Preorder threads per member/vendor/artisan, and the change to the VToS.
Basically "Preorder" was added because it's an alternative to the "Group Buy" that everyone's used to, but Group Buy was something not-for-profit, and vendors were not allowed into the GB forum (until recently, which was not by the rules). Either we change the meaning of "group buy", or we add an option to include more than traditional geekhack group buys. Hence the "Preorder" term. But I can see how it can be a bit confusing. In any event, when one creates a thread, they can select either abbreviation, whatever they think is more suitable.
Puddsy:
Makes better sense now. Thanks for clearing it up.

P.S. Can it be mandatory to be "[GB] Blah Blah" and not "[GB]Blah Blah" or "Blah Blah"? I hate the lack of space or improper tagging.
