Rena,
Your interpretation of my private e-mail is very different than what I had to say. I'm not sure why you posted about it here.
Guess it doesn't really matter, I don't mind taking the "blame" for anything.
The owners of this site asked the Moderators to move commercial posts to the showcase areas and that's what will be done.
That's really the only issue here. This is not an effort to squash "competition" and it isn't personal.
Everyone,
The Product Showcase is a place you can go all out with commercial promotions and not have to worry about complaints from those that are here only to learn.
When the store opened here, people said it was the end of the community and commercialism was swallowing up the forums. Hopefully this policy will change that.
Wether a commercial site makes a profit or not isn't a factor in this. We play no favorites.
The Showcase forum gets alot of hits/views, so if you have something to promote and it's what the people want, you'll get results by posting there.
Have a good weekend everyone, and please get away from your computers for a few days :-)
