i said clearly. post links. but anything that comes here which compete with my own products and services, i take it as a form of advertisement. i do not think i can make that any more clear. i check your forum and it is directly taking this forum heads on. no i am not earning anything from this forum... but if you start something similar inspite of having this forum working perfectly for anything, i certainly fail to accept that logical to be promoted from this forum. that is why i had to remove the link to that particular forum.i am leaving this post for other people to see what i meant when i say that your forum matches the criteria of being an advertisement on this particular forum. if they decide to leave, i really cannot stop you or them. but rules are rules and i gotta apply them.
