Is there a way to add some sort of button or link or whatever to a signature that would take an interested person to a seperate business section or something? The different jig tiers, lure makers and guides have a place on Crappie.com in my opinion. Just maybe not in the forums so much or with big pictures. I personally haven't seen much blatant hawking of anyone's products, but there are a few who only seem to chime in when they can make a buck. Most of the people mentioned previously do share info and knowledge every chance they get, and I have personally PMed some of them and got freat info without pressure to buy their products. Maybe if an advertising business pays a small flat fee to be able to place a link in their signature that would take you to a Crappie.com business section, where their info could be accessed that would be the best way? That way everyone still has access to the products if they are interested without the bulky signatures or whatever. And if someone wants more exposure they could buy a flash banner? I don't know a lot about how all this website stuff works, but I would think something like that could be arranged.
