Promotion responsibility question about Nexus signature images

[Helena]

Us adding the Nexus bar to our sites is giving here a free push out there...

This is where the discussion started to go wrong. The premise that nexus members are promoting the support forum as if it is some kind of personal benefit to the support forum is just a rather warped view of things.

The support forum exists to help Nexus members use our system to get the most attention possible through displaying the bar and the optional ads. If Planet Nexus itself gets some attention, the result is to increase the advertising reach of the membership when the subscriber list adds more sites. To view Planet Nexus as a competitor to the sites advertised on the Nexus system just doesn't make any kind of logical sense.

In fact, adding the Nexus Bar to your site lets others see your link on all the other sites. If someone sees our link, and follows through to join the system, every member site benefits from increased exposure.

Our job is accomplished when your link is viewed and/or clicked on. Its up to you to make your site interesting enough that people want to join or visit again. We can't do that part for you.
