man, i didn't want to read that, that is a pile of crap. you should have said "advertisement for my forum" or something, not "please read". A 'please read' post should suggest a topic that concerns members of the forum like "we must uprise against our oppresive government! the tsar is a liar! socialism is our answer!". Now that would be a "please read" . some crap about a new wests tigers forum we should become a part of is just a self serving post that concerns only you. I would have said:
ADVERTISEMENT FOR MY FORUM
"look, I know you are all happy to stay posting here but I don't have a lot of bucks and would love the new nrl game. I can scam a copy if I get enough members on my new forum so if you all could do me a favour and sign up it would be very much appreciated. Please!"
And buddy I'd be right there for you signing up so as you can scam a copy of that game. As it is, I'm a bit lazy and you didn't post that message so it might have to wait a day or two. I hope you've learnt your lesson! Keep up the good work.
