"I just cannot find any mention of any paying sponsors... normally there is a link saying 'click here for sponsors' or similar.
I guess there is sponsors somewhere, but I cant find them. I was not trying to get any 'free' advertising from your board - I was just trying to give some information."
In the interest of transparency:
The person who removed Silvered's original sig line was me....RKwei (one of the site owners). I PM'ed him and gave him his options but asked that he not advertise openly.
No sponsor has objected...the owners RKwei & Brucelee objected.
Silvered is disingenuous about not seeking free advertisement - he tried to post a seperate thread which was a blatant ad for Powerchip (I deleted that post). I also PM'ed him about that and told him I deleted it.
Today after I deleted his sig line and informed him - within minutes he readded a phone number and web link.
Now the story is he can't find the sponsor link and doesn't know who the paying sponsors are. I told him to contact me via email in the prior PMs.
