Vendor Connect versus marketplace vendor — what's the distinction?

That's a fair thing to ask. I had the same curiosity.

From what I can tell, the sole distinction is that Vendor Connect consists of premium sponsors, whereas marketplace is made up of sponsors. It could be that sponsorship has separate tiers. This is just my guess based on what I've seen, so I might be mistaken.
 
The folks listed under Connection strike me as the OGs. It isn’t about good, better, or best. They simply have more time on the forum.
 
What decides the sequence in which premium vendors are shown? It isn't alphabetical, and it isn't based on when the last message was posted. From what I can tell, it also doesn't appear to be tied to when they joined. So what is it?
