That would be like creating a TV channel with just commercials. Who would watch it, and therefore, who would pay to be on it?
In my opinion, (and for disclosure, I'm a marketer by trade), advertising is pervasive, but I feel like it's done in taste and moderation on this site. Last edited by mechanicalman; 06-12-2016 at 04:14 PM.

I can see the people's point about it not being appropriate as a thread but I think Leon has done a good job keeping them to a minimum. Everyone seems to generate enough threads of interest that are not ads that ignoring one that is should be pretty easy.
On the other hand if every banner advertiser were posting ad threads weekly it might be too much. As it is the Plank ad thread, in theory, was no more intrusive than the auction opening or closing threads.

Why not in the B/S/T? That's where commerce is taking place. The forum should be for discussion only, IMO.

That post we are talking about applies to all vintage. On the other hand, while Leon does listen to his citizens, it is his house we play in. I would like for this to be discussion only too, but whatever LL wants is good with me.

Threads
I generally find it easy to avoid threads that do not interest me wherever they are, but that particular "advertising" thread has become pretty interesting

Leighton and Scott are friends of mine so I'm a bit prejudiced. Plus, I had done some writing for them / That all in the spirit of full disclosure
Having said that, anytime an important card such as the Plank is brought into the hobby and the people do advertise on Net 54 -- then a little more leeway can be allowed. I found nothing wrong with that, nor if Al C had written a PR for his San Antonio find and posted that one, it would have been fine as well. So, good idea but I can also ask about why the OP posts seemingly 3-4x a week complaining about EBay listings. The finding of a Plank is by far more important Regards Rich
