personally I think that's just based on greed and forcing one view point.
what about all the small webmasters starting unique programs and such that can't afford a large banner but make huge contributions to GFY in time and effort.
it feels like an attempt to squish anyone starting out.
let the forum and threads stand on their own. I personally don't even like the idea of pinning a thread for a program - it should be bumped with REAL comments - not bots - and if it isn't then in reality it's something no one really wants to promote or gives a shit about anyway.
I do agree with the contest rules though - an exception might be considered for anyone running a non-commercial contest though (as I have done in the past) but the commercial ones often get out of hand and really need some control
if GFY were to stop the small webmsters from talking about their programs - I'd leave and support another board.
we're webmasters - our websites are our LIVES - it's why we're here - it's what we want to talk about and be proud about. Any restrictions on that would KILL this place.
PRdave - i think your idea is based solely on your own greed.
