So what is this? Simply a link to your blog? At least be decent and preface it with an introduction. Link spamming like this without context is pretty uncouth.

I can't make you click on it, nor am I pushing it on anyone. As long as people are interested in my links, I'll continue to provide them.

i remember malletman used to do this (but at least he put in a nice wee blurb)

but really how much traffic do you get from a clickthrough, is it really worth annoying and ruining the nice community here? may i suggest signing up for the BOLS alliance and Ihop. being a nice person and getting on some blogrolls instead of just spamming the boards.

edit:

the artical is medicore, the layout is annyoing and the quality not good enough to spam the boards with every new post. may i also suggest that you have a 'tomahawks blogspam thread' so its just 1 thread instead of cluttering up the fourm.

the link is crap.

My point is at least be respectful and provide a small blurb to preface the link. Simply posting the link is really douchy and not very polite.

EDIT: Well, I gave you your beloved click through and WOW. What utter garbage. Not just in the article, but also on the paint job for that Tyranno-whatever. Way to ruin a $50 model! Kudos, sir. Kudos.

and your comments link directs people to your own board?

what is this, an attempt to use this board to grow your board membership? cmon dude this is not cool.

[Tynskel]

whatever! people link stuff all the time. The real point is that the link is crap! If it was a link to something cool, woo hoo! But, oi! just plain garbage.


Gotta love the interwebz, full of junk.

What everyone's getting at, with varying degrees of politeness :P, is that "Hey, come look at my blog!" posts are kinda grating, trying to use the community without really adding to it.

This is what I'm saying. I link reviews I write most of the time, and I try and give it a nice good introduction, as well as some follow up, etc. I think simply slapping a link up there is a bit classless.
