Also keep in mind that if we allow unfettered advertising in the forums without rules the discussions will be a spamfest of one upmanship that never ends. We even limit paying advertisers to one announcement every 2 weeks to stop this from occuring. It is knows that very few companies put out 24 products a year besides the biggest (hobbico/GP/Horizon/H9 for example) and most don't even put out close to 12 products a year so our rule is VERY fair to both advertisers and non-advertisers.

We have plenty of opportunity for anybody who wants to promote to run an ad campaign here just as they do in the magazines. 70% of our users say they click on ads here and considering the size of the audience here the only reason I can fathom that a company would pay for full page color ads in magazines with less circulation than RCU has visitors is that they figure they can get it for free.


I will state that I don't believe this flurry of posts by schroedm were intentionally and knowingly made to break any rules here. He is aware of them now and will abide by them but there are still other reps/employees/pilots that must follow the rules. A post by any of them announcing a new product counts towards their 1 per month NON-advertisers quota.
