 Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 10:13 am Post subject: Oz Report links to hanggliding.org |
 #1 |
Now and then I publish an Oz Report article (talking about the Oz Report, not the Oz Report forum) that starts off with a link to hanggliding.org. Like in any forum it is rare that there is a thread that is worthy of highlighting in the Oz Report, but I very much appreciate quality when I find it, and I can sometime find it here and sometimes in my own forum (I some times link to articles in my forum on the Oz Report).
You can find examples of both of these in the latest two issues of the Oz Report.
I have no problem what so ever linking to hanggliding.org whenever it produces quality material. Direct linking to it (and to all its advertisements).

Like hanggliding.org the Oz Report forum is "supported" by Google Ad Sense ads.
But, pilots are certainly free to post commercial announcements there or in the free Classified ads. I've never pulled any legitimate commercial hang gliding post from my forum.
Like sg I also delete forum spam from the Oz Report forum.
sg is certainly free to do what he wants with his forum. I just have a different policy.

Can you explain the difference to all of us?

Well, how about an example?
I publish all the links to Lauren Tjaden's posts regarding hang gliding that she posts on Visit Florida and sends to me. sg deletes all of them that he found here.
See here for more info: http://www.hanggliding.org/viewtopic.php?t=25641

I need a group of volunteers to wrap 100 hg videos in hanggliding.org pages loaded with AD's and post all those links to the ozreport forum every week for several months.
Now that ive been made aware that Davis allows this kind of free advertising for profit on his forum, im ready to take advantage of it 
Who wants to help me fund the org???

You are most welcome. I know how hard it is to host such a forum.
