Are we allowed to advertise another forum?

Not wishing to tread on toes so can I add the http?

From the FAQs...

Links should only be posted to live websites that contain the information referred to. However, we do not generally allow links to other forums. Exceptions may be made for something relevant to the discussion, but please check with the Moderator of the forum before you post.

Promotion of other motorsport forums, newsgroups, facebook groups etc. is not permitted.

The Mods for this forum are John Turner and TimD.

Hope that helps you!

I'll move this to announcements and feedback. Originally posted in Historic Racing Today.
In short NO. But if there is relevance then it may be permitted.

[Al Weyman]

Oh go on let us I will put my company site up then!

[Woolley]

Simple analogy - would the BBC advertise ITV programmes?

No, and although sometimes an item may be relevant to a discussion, they're still not going to give you the transmission information.

[ralt-racer]

OK thought so but thought it might be worth asking it is a classic racing club and not a real competitor to ten tenths

cheers anyway Benn Simms CF3 competitor.......

[driftwood]

i cannot see a reason why race car clubs cannot be listed
perhaps a direct mail to the Mods for agreement is the way to go
John Turner is an awfully nice chap and has a sensible view on things unlike some mods ( would be traffic wardens) and i feel a bullockin coming on

driftwood, there was a time when I would have responded, but you know what, I really can't be bothered. You're just not worth the effort.

Isn't it time for you to pen a letter to the Daily Mail about how your rights are being infringed? I look forward to your indignant PM because someone spoke back to you. Don't forget to quote "Freedom of Speech" and work the Nazis in somewhere.

ralt-racer, we don't allow links to other forums - it's in the FAQ. We had no choice but to bring that rule in as we were being spammed by all kinds of other motorsport (and non-motorsport) forums trying to bump up their own userbases at our expense.

That being said, we do make exceptions from time to time if the content is relevant to the thread, so if you feel that the link is appropriate, then please contact the mod of the forum in question and if they agree, I'm sure they'll allow it on a once off basis.
