@dejavu: I don't think anyone ever suggested that their be "ads" per se, the question was just one of whether it was appropriate for a business to post in the trading post, where *every* post is commercial to some extent.

After reading this thread, i think think we should do a trial run. I created this subsection for that:

It keeps separate cookies for http://www.lifein and http://lifein - add the www. and it will be fine.

Better still, drop the "www." entirely :)

You're right. I was extrapolating from the "no commercial ads" rule mentioned in the original post.

You should use modrewrite to standardize on one URL if you haven't already. It gets rid of the cookie problem and a host of others we well. PM me if you need any examples.

Standardizing on a single URL (use a 301 redirect with the other so it still works if somebody goes there accidentally) is important for SEO too.

Good that this has been discussed, I wasn't sure about some of my posts on GD, but since nobody complained I figured they were OK.

It seems to me that an initial post announcing a new product would not be out of place, but anything more than that could be construed as unwelcome advertising.

On the ball Jordus! I like the idea of having a separate sub-forum for go-related businesses and vendors. This way I know where to look when I want to buy something, and am not bombarded with distracting ads when I'm reading and posting. It might be worth consideration to specially design this sub-forum to cater to the go-related businesses - make it something like the yellow pages of go products.

I'm quite happy to see a post about new books on offer, new boards on offer, new software product on offer, new stones on offer. So long as they don't take the piss and go overboard it should be sweet.
