I just think it is unjust that this site is not good enough to join your affiliate program, no we do not engage in suspect affiliate activities, never have, but yet we seem to be good enough to be spammed weekly with advertising for free.

Ian,

I'm sorry to hear that- unfortunately I have absolutely no control over the affiliate program- or anything for that matter;-)

Well that is not completely true- the one thing I do have some control over is product pricing through our new business direct division- which is why I decided to post on this forum- not as advertising but rather as a consultation and cost cutting service for those small businesses that dont have the access to volume discounts like some of the big boys do.

If I had a budget I would spend some on this site in a second- unfortunately the only way for me to obtain a budget is to prove to upper mangement that web forums are a viable form of communicating with small business owners- and the only way to do that is to post on the message boards themselves. Kind of a catch 22.

I had fully planned that if I was accepted into the commnuity that I would spend as much time as possible to consult with people on their technology needs.
