This used to bother me as well. Then i realised i can use a whole forum for that purpose: The Classifieds. The new products forums et al are for that.
But replies? Only when it's for someone looking for what i've got. |

I don't even have a store, I do make things to amuse myself that people always seem to want a copy of.. It's okay to leave small ads for store in your signature, but not really big wads of test or images.

I don't have a store either, I just aim to educate people about SL history and possibly get someone to help :\
Except there's hardly anyone contributing even when I offer to pay people up to L$1000 for an article. Thank god for Oz Spade. That man is a robot  _____________________

It's okay to leave small ads for store in your signature, but not really big wads of test or images. Tests in signatures should be okay. As long as we get to study for it in advance and the grade doesn't affrect our standing in SL. _____________________

If you don't like signatures, they're easy to turn off. Quick Links ---> Control Panel ---> Edit Options ---> Uncheck "Show Signatures".

Thanks, Flip...
I was abou tto say the same thing. TO the OP: WHat else are we supposed to have in our sigs?? It's a platform for businesses among other things. If you have a hostility toward business, I feel for you. Life in the 21st century must suck for you, what with all the merchandising around everywhere... _____________________

Read my wiki you twerps! And while you're at it why not make an account and contribute a thing or two?
The history wiki, like the forums, will also let you put up gobs of shameless self promotion and advertising! As long as it's related to SL of course Go write about yourself, your project, your sim, the tattoo on your lover's ass, whuteva. _____________________
