OmegaWave Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 I want to advertise my forum. Nothing wrong with it. But I can't because of the Anti Cross-Advertisment rule. Why does YCM have that anyway? I say get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna Diviner Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 why can't we cross-advertiseBecause its against the rules' date=' and some sites might have swearing and things for older people as most of them need you to be 13 to join but this has no child safety problems [other then meeeting a stranger on the web'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Falling Pizza Posted December 23, 2007 Administrators Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 You cannot cross-advertise because this site does not want to lose users to another site the way a business does not want to lose customers to another business.

Administrators Falling Pizza Posted December 24, 2007 Administrators Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Ok that makes no since the internet is free and its not like once you find another ycm type site u'll leave this one. You may have noticed that this site has advertisements. When a user clicks on them the admin of this site gets money. If a user finds a similar site that they like better, studies have shown that the combined time spent on the two sites will not change, hence decreasing the time spent on the first site, hence decreasing the number of advertisement clicks, hence decreasing the amount of profit.

YCMaker pays to keep the site up. If you had a site that you were paying for would you like to lose members? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frunk Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 You may NOT advertise here because YCMaker didn't build a site to have more than 35,000 members for you to try and steal some of them to your forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone loves YCM. It's the only place on the internet where you can make authentic looking yugioh Cards. I don't see a reason why a person can't go to another forum AND come here at the same time.
