Advertising other forums Options

[Retrogressive]

I thought CB allowed you to advertise in your signature. I think CB should be much clearer in their rules rather than changing people's signatures without warning.

Doesn't CB state that we can advertise in signatures?

If we can have a Forum advertise in the Web site section I don't understand why my signature, along with others, as been altered. If you own a forum, it's considered a website that you put your time into.

again, i'm in a pissy mood.
BTW we do use the personal message system.
And also it still isn't advertising.
And a link takes up less space then a PM

We deleted useless pms.


There are 3 topics with reasons why advertisements will NOT be allowed.

statements from random people ...

one reason i could think of as to why we have 'no ads' rule is that we don't get paid for it. meaning, when you advertise on yahoo!, google and the likes, they get paid for it, why should we have mass advertising, which takes up space and not be paid for it? spam is spam is spam.

and then even if we allow ads, what kind of ads qualify and which do not....

we have showcases where our members get a chance to 'advertise' their personal sites. that is enough advertisement, in my opinion.

couldnt say it better....well i dont think alot of people will go to a forum thats filled with links and click away to view them..and if they do thats all we can...because we already got the website of the month and the website help and so forth...so all we can do is advertise..which like racoons > you said thats what the sigs are for..

I don't think that's necessary...like the above have stated, we have signatures.

If your site's not getting lots of hits, then it probably means you're not posting on cB enough and people don't see your link.

And besides, an advertisement in a forum littered with ones identical to yours wouldn't help your site's popularity, people would just pass it by and eventually, the forum would become dead.

Well, considering that Dynasty appears to be some sort of Anti-CB forum and even makes fun of CB, it appears to be competing forum. As you should know, advertising of competing sites, whether it be by post or by sig, is not allowed.
