You are triplely wrong. One is a discussion thread and the other is a scrimmage tournament thread, and neither is specifically an advertisement. Although they have served to entice (by my count) 20-30 new users to BB over the last few months. Anyone on that board is well aware of BB and if the cut-and-paste poster had taken 3 minutes he would have known that. Sincere word of mouth from established posters, like in our case, is infinitely better publicity that a random cut-and-paster.
However, I'm not belittling your efforts. My real concern is that the mods at CR are very generous in allowing us to use their forum for BB discussion and I don't wish for them to regret their largess with the efforts of thoughtless spammers. Perhaps taking the time to research and tailer your "spam" posts for each forum would serve to entice people. Or to only advertise in forums in which you are known and respected. IMO, cut-and-paste spamming turns people off.
