    I was on another site and was trying to tell someone that they should try this site. I got a really snotty reply that I wasn't allowed to do that. Anybody know why? I thought the 'net was for a free exchange of ideas etc. Dizzi, am I being naive?

    Sorry Cajary was out at pub myself!! Had left computer on cause it was running a virus scan.

    Hmm whilst I agree with you, each forum makes it's own rules, there are no overall laws that govern every website, otherwise there would be no nasty sites out there.

    I like this forum because it is so friendly and open and almost unique in this quality, you have to make your own judgements about each site I guess.

    By the way - good luck for tomorrow, I'm sure it will all go well and big congratulations to your daughter

    Cajery I guess the moderators would be the best to answer your concerns.
    I have been a member of gc for over a year now and recently opened my own forum although mine is art related for my water colours i am in no way competition with gc and i dont advertise my place on here, my website i do for everyone to see my water colours although i have them in sections here.
    guess i have the best of both worlds [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Thanks guys for your answers and your best wishes. Yeah, I like this site, just seems a shame that we can't suggest it to people on other sites. Right I'm off to put a tie on.( First time for a year :D )

    |It's classed as spamming. Usually forums hate you to take their members away - they dont believe in sharing!

    I was using another site for a year or so and it was great, however, the site started to get people putting on unpleasant ads and general smut.
    Just before this occured a member from here visited the site and said to one and all if anyone would like to come over to here.
    I can't remember who it was who asked us if we would like to try this site, but I did and the rest is history! [​IMG]
