I appreciate you posting these here, but unless im allowed to post my answers to all these questions as well, which i ain't due to the rules in the vendor forum about sharing informations from there. I find it to be a bit biased, which i hope you understand. Personally you have my full permission to move the whole thread to the public forum, if you like.

Especially this:

"As to having people pay to be whitelisted to post third party links - we really already provide that service via advertising on the site."

If you read my reply to this specifically you will quickly realize that, neither have I suggested or even come close to suggesting anything like this, and is actually arguing strongly against even mentioning such thing in this forum!! But since you don't post that, you now present it as if I suggested it. I have not even come close to suggesting anything like that. So please either move the whole thread to the public or allow me to post all my arguments from the forum, so this is presented in a fair manner?
