This is a place for providing a link to your forum, or a forum that you like. Please feel free to post up the link and tell us a little about it.
Please DON'T spam members via PM or by placing lots of posts about the forum, or by continuous bumping of the thread.
Please don't beg/pursuade or guilt-trip folk into joining. (and i hope no-one has ever tried these methods whilst promoting SS, though thank you for your good intention)
Please note this is not a section for debating which forum is best
Please note......
There has been some upset over a forum recently that has
*(intentionally or not) encouraged over promotion and people have found this offensive.
* Folk also found the particular incentive to get people involved with bringing more folk on board offensive.
* There had been trouble and upset with at least one of the members (it was doomed to cause some reaction/annoyance on this alone from the very start).
* This forum, (again - intentionally or not), promoted at atmosphere of competition by stating that it intended to be the best, and by it's approach to getting as many members off other forums as possible. Sorry but that's not going to promote good relations with people who value other forums.
Probably driven by enthusiasm to create something big and exciting they've appeared really rather rude and/or inconsiderate, and plenty of folk have expressed their disapproval.
The result? Upset on both sides and quite probably some folk on both forums thinking unfavourably about the other forum/members.
So - my point is -
*I may end up removing a link or an entire thread if it's causing upset (I never like removing threads, people like to make their opinions known and I hate the feeling that I'm silencing someone....)
