     Glenda sent me this - I pm'd her that I didn't think it was allowable, that I would post here and find out what you both thought

     Hmmm.

     This maybe a question for Laurissa.  I'd say this is NOT allowable as we have the "what happens on other forums stays on other forums" rule... so, why would we allow someone to poach for other forums, but since it's breed specific, it maybe OK?  I just don't know!

     All these weird things going on.  Sheesh!

    Well, my rule of thumb is that even if it's a blog that has advertisements of any kind (banners, anything along the margins, whatever), I say they're getting profit for it, and it falls under that.

    Meanwhile, this one does not.  It could fall under the "what happens on other forums", but... yuck.  I hate when people try to solicit others. Now, what was the ruling back when people were being solicited via PM's to leave dog.com and join ixasgirl?  Anything/nothing?  I tend to wish we could ignore it, but... Hmm.... Laurissa to the rescue.
