I wanted to share something that has been bugging me. I seen in a post on "show news" a link that said "click the link to see my new stuff" which takes you to Cheese's site. Why can't we just post a picture instead of trying to lour someone to another web site? I belong to Big Cheese's site and check it also couple of times a week and post sometimes. I don't have a problem with Cheese's site because there is room on the world wide web for both sites. I just think trying to lour someone to another forum just like oldgas is morally wrong. That would be like me owning a restaurant and having someone come in and start handing out menus to another restaurant to my customers. I see links all the time for guys like me that have personal web sites but are more for showing there collection or selling which is great. Am I wrong for thinking this way? ------------------ Check out GASNSHAKERS.COM E-mail me at petronut@aol.com

No Jarvis, You are not wrong in thinking that! Jim has no problem with anyone having a link to another site in their post. There really was not a post, just the "lure". But that particular member has always asked for his own problems.

The 'Lure" part is why not post pics of whatever it is you are selling rather than a link (LURE) to another site. Really almost spam if you think about it.

Technically its not against the rules to post a link to another petro website (except in the showcase forum where links are prohibited). Disrespectful? In some cases yes, in some cases no. There are several Shop Talk members that post links in their signature. While some members take offense to this it has always been allowed on this site. What Jarvis is refferring to is different in that the primary goal appears to be to lure users to a different site. There is no real content on those posts, just a link to another site. The moderators have discussed this issue. Its great that Cheese and others have websites. I am not concerned whether any sites compete with Oldgas.com, but rather how posting a link in a post without any other real content affects THIS site. The other issue is which forum those posts appear in. Items that are for sale belong in the For Sale Or Trade forum. Someone adding new items to their inventory is not "news".

Read what i wrote people!!!! My website is a site that shows my collection with a few items for sale. NOT A FORUM OR FOR SALE ONLY SITE! 90% of everything on my site is either displaying my items or whats new to my collection. Chad, I don't add my link to the showcase area because that's the rules! ------------------ Check out GASNSHAKERS.COM E-mail me at petronut@aol.com

I post links to Oldgas on Cheese's site, I don't see any complaining over there, Just another thing to fight about IMO.

Brian, I think it's great if guys are discussing something and send links from one site to another. But to just come on and only post a link for items for sale is a "lure" and wrong.
I am done on this topic... i said what i felt and i feel like some are just looking for a argument now.

Can you blame a guy for not wanting to put much time in posting when he gets attacked here no matter what he does? If the info is already on that page why not use a link. I think it would be better if he linked to the globe-logos web site instead of another forum. That might appear unseemly to some. You have two pages of shakers for sale. If someone came on here looking for shakers would you post the pictures and prices of each set or would you direct them to the site. Maybe you would post them all but I would just show the link. The info is already there. Does belong in the For Sale or Trade section. JM2C Chris
