Exposure

After much deliberation I have placed an advertisement banner on entropiaforum.com. The reasons behind this are pretty obvious.

This was another candidate for my signature banner that someone sent me and I felt looked good but had already decided to use my current signature banner. After seeing how good some advertisements looked at the top of ef I thought it would be ideal for this flaming one to sit there advertising my 100sweat2ahangar thread and generate interest and traffic to it. However, what made me think long and hard before finally making the decision to do this was the "cost" involved in having the banner there. Yes the cost is very little but does it go against the principle of what I am looking to achieve? I deliberated over this a lot but then I got to thinking that kyle advertised many times his oneredpaperclip (all be it in free mediums) . Yet he was willing to travel anywhere to make a trade. These travellings he made will not in the beginning have cost him nothing. Therefore I thought advertising this way is a small price to pay since I have no travel costs within this virtual world we inhabit. I am sure I will receive the odd flaming reply in my thread. However, I would hope the positive responses and the people I will continue to meet on this journey will be just as nice and friendly as the ones I have already traded with and will outweight all the naysayers and disparaging comments I may receiv.
