QJO125
I am not an active mod, but as your post has been here a week, thought I would chime in and answer.... The forum guidelines are found here:
http://www.eccie.net/announcement.php?f=5
Under those guidelines,
#27 - ECCIE policy regarding the discussion of competing websites is intended to exhibit a straight-forward and simple approach.
We do not disallow mention of other sites here at ECCIE, however we ask that you limit those discussions to the "Other Hobby Sites" thread located in the Member Suggestions and Feedback forum. This is the area that we have designated as being an appropriate outlet for these types of discussions. Posts of this nature made in other forums throughout the board will be merged into this location. If you find these types of posts in your local forums, please use the RTM function to report them to staff.
You will find that our corner of the board is relatively drama free and that reading and following the guidelines will make your stay much more enjoyable.
Thanks for your question.
Respectfully,
OldSarge
