PERHAPS a gray area now, but in the future... because, IMO, xpagesforum is a direct competitor with Aus99. LOCANTO - not really, same with direct shop websites. Auxxx and Punter Planet, well, perhaps they're more niche. But this is a free forum, dependent on advertising revenues. If shops start drifting away, policy MIGHT tighten.

Perhaps I'm just more sensitive because I know internationally, the rules have been around for a LONG time:
Can I use your Forum to promote my Google, MSN or Yahoo Forum?
HELL NO!
I didn't work hard and pay the server costs for three years to build my site so you could come along and go "Hey, look at all these visitors. I can just use them to build my own forum."
Regular Members who promote their own forum or another forum will have all their reports deleted and lose their membership.
Senior Members who promote their own forum or another forum will be changed to Regular Member status.


I was honestly surprised at the laissez-faire attitude here. Guess it's decades of conditioning, but I'm very hesitant about posting another forum's direct links, even when there's no direct competition.

I think the Shop Roster and Shop and Girl Info threads on Aus99 do a pretty good job, especially using the Prefix capability.
