A note about our advertising forums:

We'd like to remind all users that post in the advertising forums of rule 3.3

 

  Quote

Advertising is limited to one advertisement per forum per user each week. Additional or excessive advertising may be removed by the moderation team

 

During the past month there have been a few users posting more than one advertisement it's really important that we keep to one per week to make it fair for everyone.
