Recently a few threads have been locked around here when people tried to miserably advertise their sites.
I know they did it quite miserably, and probably got what they deserve (Balder is curently still the only member of his own forum the size of LO :lol

, but what if one just wanted to introduce his own little site to the folk around here?

Advertisements section of the board we are told to use is designed with buying and selling stuff, and nor does it have any place to post about ones website nor is it even part of the forum right now.

I'm not really desperate for visitors, but still this question keeps bugging me...

So?

I think that rules just goe for when you use your first and only post to advetise for your own site...

EDIT: Yay! two hundred posts!

I know what you mean, its not as if any of our small sites are going to get bigger than this one is.

Post in caps again and I'll warn you. Read the rules.

All site adverts go in the adverts section. It's that simple. If there are any sites we dont like, we delete the thread if its a link to, say, TheWarp or Eldar Online...

It's not. That's the problem.

Adverts have no space for sites. Maybe a forum section focused on discussing each other's websites would solve this...

No, see, it really IS that simple.

You click "New Topic"
The only purpose for said topic is to display a link to your website.

Linking to a website is classed as an advertisement, when the sole purpose of a new topic is linking to a website.

Advertisements, such as this, go to the Advertisements Forum.

It really IS that Simple.

Yeah? :huh: Then show me where the "Advertisements Forum" is... see it anywhere? :blink:

The closest thing is "Librarium Market", which is strictly for commercial purposes.

We dont allow other competing sites to advertise here because running this site costs money. You might pay for advertising through a banner or a button if you like. Thats the only way to advertise your website here..
