    IT has to be admitted I join sites like this to promote a new game a friend and I have developed. We get lots of views but no bites, and I wonder why. However if I see anything interesting on the forums I do browse and post if that is relevant. But sites like this are a godsend for games wanting to test things out with a few players.

    I'm very thankful that places like this one exist, otherwise as new devs we really don't know where to start

    I'm not quite sure what this Shameless Promotion forum is for; I submitted a well-written post about my (completely free to play) passion-project X-Isle, including some lovely screenshots, but it never appeared. Although I'm sure that quite a few of your members might enjoy the game, I'm not allowed to promote it here, on a forum called Shameless Promotion?

    I suppose I'll resubmit it after I've replied to a couple of other threads, but I fail to get the point.

    The point, I believe, is to allow our users to 'shameless promote' their projects, websites, clans, etc... The issue is that this has been abused by spam accounts who use bots to create accounts, spam messages, and will never participate in the community. So to combat this, certain places are restricted from thread (or even post) creation unless you've reached a certain post count.

    If you want to put your own site, why not publish it on other Social network site like facebook

    What if there's a section where they can advertise the game but not DIRECTLY saying it? I mean, yeah the website's for all gamers so they took opportunity. I agree on the part that they shouldn't just come and go. its like those kinds of neighbors that introduces themselves at day 1 then the next. NADA :/
