I own my own forum but I have decided not to keep posting on it because I see more money coming from my blog traffic. I can also see I will have problems with it in the future because of the response I have gotten on NP.

The fact remain that there are thousands of surfer forums and have you ever wondered why sponsors don't have them shut when they have the legal right to? Because they are a permanent part of the web now. They are a part of surfing reality now and will probably never go away. Plus the fact that unlike most webmaster, most sponsors can make 5 to 10 k a day or more and even the small ones make huge profits. They don't have time to worry about a forum that is making a few hundred a day if even that. Most sponsors are the ones posting the content on the boards a lot of times anyway. Ever noticed that some boards seem to have posts from the same sponsors. I was even contacted by one of my sponsors to take over my board.

All that being said I never really engages in link posting that much. After a couple of months I slowed down but I really don't see how you can equate link sharing to blog copying. They are totally different. One involves a surfer sharing links on a board. Plus the fact that you continue to accuse me of posting sponsor content when I never have, I used amateur content some of which was my own. The only time I used any sponsor content was about a year ago when I was first starting to use forums and didn't understand how they worked
