We'll be trying a new thing on the forum: sponsored posts.
We'll try it for a month and see how it works out. I welcome your feedback - please PM me with comments about the posts, the services, or anything related to this.
Here's how to tell if a post is sponsored:
1. It will be clearly marked "sponsored"
2. It will be locked so users can't reply to it directly
3. There will be at most 2 sponsored posts on any forum
Our hope is that this will be an unobtrusive way of generating revenue for the site and providing services to visitors interested in the product.
Thanks,
