Saw this and here are the applicable rules:
7. No advertising or product marketing. No commercial ads allowed in any part of the HuntingNet Forums except the Classifieds section.. Hunting Net has a free classified ads section for personal advertisements. An advertisement is categorized as an outright attempt to solicit business. Any such posts will be removed.
I really don't consider this thread an advertisement since the OP posted with pride about his building in good faith. The commercial part came via questions from other members. I don't think pushing a business it was MD's sole purpose for posting. I am betting with such a fine looking product it will appear in the classified section at some point and who knows if he gets to be a giant in the industry an official advertiser.
10. Linking – Links to products and personal pages will be tolerated. You may not link to any direct competitor of HuntingNet.com or link to just advertise a product or service. We reserve the right to delete any link for any reason
Would appreciate if the link to another forum was taken down. Much nicer if the poster could do that.
Edit: I will add this one caveat though...the opinion above is mine and not reflective of the owners of HNI. In the event that they see it differently then we can further discuss the issue.
