Pimping stuff?

I have started doing some Dark Sun conversions over in the Conversions forum. However, that's not exactly the most widely-read forum here at ENWorld, so I was wondering what the moderator view on advertising these on other forums (General and/or House Rules, probably) is? Such an advertisement would basically be a post saying "Hey, I've got a thread going over there, do check it out and post comments there." Is this kosher?

I thought pimping was illegal in Sweden. But I don't think that there's anything wrong by it if you do it in high traffic times, and you expect the mods to move/delete after a while.

Läget, pollar?

Yeah, Staffan, we're totally cool with that. Maybe limit yourself to one bump a day for a couple of days if necessary.

You know, this brings up something that we might try to organize to get folks to branch out a bit and see what else is on the forums...

What if every forum had an "ambassador" -- someone maybe elected by consensus by the folks who hang out there pretty regularly. This person could, perhaps once a week, make a post in General pimping some of the best/most interesting things going on in that forum at the moment. I bet it would also be of interest to post the same thing on the news site about once a week -- a Message Board Roundup, as I used to call it. What do you think about that? It wouldn't have to be the same person every time; the folks in the forum could take turns or just do it on a whim or something, but maybe they'd want to confer with each other to develop the list of threads they want to include.

Mmmm, I dunno; you start getting ambassadors and the next thing you know they start demanding free ale and whores and immunity to parking tickets.

Good idea, EN, I'll volunteer for none, though (I'm too lazy).
