You may have noticed the recent flood of ads posted on My Own Shadow. This seems to be because we just started advertising, and people who are advertising their own sites follow our link, see we have an advertising section, and post their ad.
It's gotten so severe that sometimes ads are all that show up in our Most Recent Posts. This makes us look like a dead site to any potential new members, and no one wants to join a dead site.
It has been suggested that we make our advertising section members-only, and create a rule where only members with a certain number of posts can create an ad, to prevent creation of accounts that exist solely for advertising. However, doing this can limit where we can advertise our site. What are your thoughts?
Until a decision is reached, please try to post more often so we can battle these ads.
