In anticipation of our third week since grand opening, I am running a contest at my forum administrator community. This contest is a week long contest in which members of the community vote on the "best member" or "most helpful" member over the past week. Anybody may be nominated, which includes new members like yourself

The prize is your choice of either $15 via PayPal or a 3 month hosting package along with year-long domain registration of your choice and inclusion in an exclusive "Contest Winners" group.

For more information, go directly to the contest details here.

Cheers!

If you have any questions, ask away.

hmm...

i cant imagine this take place at TAZ, where a competitor to advertise their sites there!

But sure B-B is gonna be different in this case, I beleive in members choice to be active here or not its based on their likings and freedom they have here at B-B which is most important then anything to be...

I am not afraid of competitions to B-B, i have the confidence and know how to develop this forums to grow and most of all satisfy my members here..

My point is, what will you do if a competitor advertise his forums only his motive to gain members from your database?

Will you provide your competitors freedom to advertise or block their forums?

Nothing raised against you personally, just want to know what other admins act to the situations like this...

Is this gonna affect B-B in any way negative or Positive?

It is completely up to the owner of the forums. I made a point to check any TOS and advertising rules before posting this and did not find anything ruling against an ad such as this. Furthermore, I still left a comment in there telling you to remove at will.

No, TAZ does not allow this kind of thing...I have already talked 1on1 with The Sandman about it. I don't even allow this in my forums (I allow advertising, but do not allow advertising of direct competitors).

This is a direct quote from my advertising rules -
But like I said, I chose to post it here because I didn't find any specific rule saying otherwise. If you'd still prefer it not be here, remove it by all means, I respect your decision 100%

As mentioned in my previous post

As far you are active here nothing stops you to advertise your forums but limited to the necessity of it.

Edit:

Make yourself comfortable here and look forward for your valuable contribution to our community...
