Kingofthering, thanks for your reply. I am not a heavy poster, but I am a heavy reader and help run a forum in another industry. It is in that capacity especially that you see links to and discussions started about obvious scams that on occasion are placed by less scrupulous operators. It is obvious that deffenbaugh03 is not one of these people (given the posts and member status) and my response was not an attack on his post, but about ones of this type in general. Sure, the link is funny, but what would stop anyone else linking to there own spam style site under the guise of humour? In response to kooper & deffenbaugh03's question of degradation of quality, my thinking was that, like a sliding slope, what is to stop masses of low value ad links or the like being placed... and that over time this would discourage contributors of high value with good knowledge visiting/contributing. Bringing down the whole. Perhaps this was the wrong spot for me even to ask this to begin with- but alas it was late and I posted it all as one.
