Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oryan77" data-source="post: 5137624" data-attributes="member: 18701">I don't make a banner ad in my sig with pictures. I made my link as unobtrusive as I could so I don't annoy anyone. I also don't spam threads with useless posts. I write legitimate (and ungodly long) posts. If someone happens to see the sig, great!I understand everyone wants a piece of the pie. But honestly, no, if I ran a website and someone did the same thing without being annoying about it (or being in direct competition with me), I would have no problem at all if he made a few bucks from it. I'd be glad to help out...especially during a recession like this.  In fact, I have a forum for my commerical website (nobody uses though). Anyone is free to post links to their site there as long as it is not in competition with what I am trying to sell: <a href="http://rpglocker.proboards.com/index.cgi" target="_blank">http://rpglocker.proboards.com/index.cgi</a>This website did not start out as a business. It was and is a forum. This "forum" wouldn't have become what it is if it wasn't for all of us visiting it and telling other people to visit it. We helped Morrus get to the point where he could possibly make money from this website. And if he can make money from it, that is awesome.I contribute by not blocking banner ads and occasionally clicking them. I contribute by making posts and telling other people that ENworld is a good place to go to read/discuss D&D. Therefore, I partly contributed to Morrus getting to the point where he could make money from his site. If someone is mad that I am not paying for the text that I have that links to a commercial website while I am (hopefully) making interesting posts, then that's just greedy. Morrus says that is not his reasoning, so I am not referring to him as being greedy. I'm just speaking in general.Don't get me wrong, if I could afford to pay for a banner ad here, I would. But I can't right now, and I didn't think the sig was a big deal. Especially since Morrus was cool enough to have a Marketplace forum where we could buy & sell stuff. But if it is a big deal because people should be profiting off of my sig, then he can just tell me to remove it. But it seems it will be removed anyway since I won't be a subscriber.*edit* Sorry, I didn't mean to derail the thread. I was just answering Obryn. If this is an annoyance, I don't mind responding to PMs instead.</blockquote>
