Your post is not allowed. Check the forum policies again but if you do have a question, leave out the advertising links and maybe it can stay.

How were we advertising?
Apr 11, 2008 8:40AM PDT

This is a forum of ideas, so advertisements are not allowed in this venue. A member may answer another member's question about their occupation or business, however, blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited. This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited. Pyramid schemes --chain letters that involve money-- are not only prohibited by CNET Networks standards, but they're also illegal. It is permissible for members to mention services or products that are provided by them or the companies with which they are affiliated, as long as the information is germane to the topic, is not a blatant advertisement, and the members mention their affiliation with the company in the content of the message.

We were and are not affiliated with any of the links, except to describe us and who we are and our needs in relation the services that have been offered to us. The links that we posted were of companies that have solicted us and wanted to hear if any other forum member has had any luck with them.

Sorry, you were.

Not only was your forum name in your tagline but other signs. The issue is NON NEGOTIABLE so feel free to post without such if you want to discuss an item or issue. But your initial post was the usual spam that you won't find in the forums since any mod will remove it on sight.

Enjoy the forums,
Bob
