I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd certainly never purchase a product advertised in a forum. I wouldn't do business with any company that used such advertising tactics, and you don't even want to know what I do to those poor fools that dare to call my phone and try to sell me something... or maybe you do, it is pretty amusing.
But what gives with the sudden mad rush of these around here? Didn't we just get some new forum software? Might just be time to bring on some full-fledged forum moderators.
