As soon as I saw the title I knew it was going to be trouble. Please read the forum rules:

no linking to commercial sites or stores at all if affiliated.

If these companies want to get adspace, they need to pay for it and not get it for free. I thought this was common sense too. Ad revenues allow this site to remain free for everyone to use. You can talk about a site, but don't hotlink it. I just deleted 5 out of 11 (almost half) posts because of links. If this thread is to stay up, everyone needs to realize not to link it.
