I responded to your post because I am from Northern California. When I respond to most any post here it is because from the topic it appears I may have some knowledges about a question another member has. That was the case here. However, what I found was an advertisement for camping gear and another where I can get a map for $10.00. From your response to my message, you are obviously going to post more such profit motive links. There are over 5,000 members here that could potentially see the ads you provide - so this forum, plus any other forums you have found and posted a similar ad would appear to have more intent than to recoup your $110 investment.
You are way off base, pal.
Your statement sounds as though there are no campgrounds listed on the website,
that the site is a banner ad ridden page, geared to sell ads and confuse people...
well, you coudn't be more wrong!
Its a free site, free as in free speech and free as in beer...
Did you actually navigate through the site? or did you see a banner ad and your eyes started to burn?
I dont understand where you get off telling me that I am in the wrong.
Did you read the forum rules?... I did...
# Messages that are propaganda in nature and ignore a topic for the purpose of furthering a particular agenda of the person, a group or organization.
# Commercial advertisements, ads for information exchange (petitions, surveys, questionnaires), and soliciting for funds. We do, however, allow private for-sale ads, and these should be posted with For sale or Sale in the subject line. A sale is considered private/non-commercial if the seller is merely disposing of a personal item or asset rather than being in business to sell such items/assets. If you're unsure, please drop a personal message or email to the Forum Administrator.
I am not a company, or organization, and have not made a single cent from this site, nor do I care if I do...
So, was my post a "commercial advertisement" ?
What are you being charged, or sold?
Why did I post a link to the site? Becuase, I would like people to visit the site.
It is relevent to RV'ers and Camp'ers in northern california.
If I am in the wrong, why dont you report me to the moderator? , instead of being a vigilante.
I simply wanted to share a site that I have put a lot of time into.
The site is plain and simple... its a free campground guide for northern california, take it or leave it...
For you to assume that my intention is to get rich or make money off the site, that is both incorrect and slanderous.
Thanks for taking the time to criticize me, for my intended helpful site.
Oh, and btw, this site "rvforum.net" has google ads and such... I will assume that you are bothered by this as well ??
BTW, as a linux enthusiast / programmer I am not motivated by $$$ like other less respectable windows programmers, whom say charge $500 for a single copy of a program.
