I opened the general modeling forum this morning and discovered what appeared to be a full page advertisment by Extra Details in the forums, complete with pics , prices etc.
Now I honestly do not think the forums are the place for these. The buy, sell or trade forum YES not the rest!. It should go into the 'NEWS' section as a new release not as an advert in the general modeling forum. This is also not the first time Extra Detail have been guilty of this eiter so my advice to you Graham & Jamin is to buy an advertising space on site or put your Adverts inbuy,sell or trade!

Cliff, I could not agree more.... This site gives a lot of leeway to advertiisers , Jim is bending over backwards to give them space and time on the site, However, what passes as 'discussion' is not news..... Come on guys, we give you a lot of space, we rely on you as well, don't abuse it...Jim
