Honestly, I think we should save this discussion for another thread. Not somebody's welcoming thread.
I understand how you feel, but we never asked for people to advertise for us, and we don't know where people are necessarily advertising from- we appreciate good nature and being polite. So we're sorry if we offended anyone.
But our goal isn't to become the biggest, most popular, or well-known site. We know it won't be. We're small, but dedicated. And we appreciate all forms of help from our users, who mean a lot to us. Although I do appreciate the help, Alecto, but we're working on things as we go along. The best way to learn is through mistakes. We're not going to give up just because something seems hard.
So we're sorry to offend. If I find who's advertising, I'll be sure to remind them to abide by the other site's rules, not just our own.
