Where does this go?

[Dev Khaos]

I posted a thread in 'Commerce>Merchants' promoting a service for merchants but it was removed for advertising, oops. I must have been mistaken: "Discussion area for inworld and Marketplace merchants to exchange business and marketing ideas." sounds like a perfect place to talk about a new marketing and ecommerce tool for SL merchants. I am sorry to offend, but before i re-post my lengthy thread, can someone suggest a better place to put an 'advertising' thread?  I came to THIS section because Off-topic claims to be: "A great place for general discussions about Second Life that don't fit into another category." So please be nice, im not a SL forum guru, just a coder that wants to show off something he's worked on for the past year.

Perhaps Inworld Employment, if you're offering a service.  There's really not a good spot in the forums. The old forums had a classified section for such things, but LL seems to expect people to pay for advertizing in Marketplace instead now.

I wouldn't mind paying for exposure, but im a bit shocked there isnt a place to talk about second life on a second life forum.

 

Thank you for your time and advice.

Yeah, it's sort of awkward.  You can discuss generic services ("Wouldn't it be nice if ....") and troubleshoot specific problems ("Why can't I seem to get my product to show up on Marketplace?"), but you can't say, "Hi!  I'm Bob Smith and I have a terrific product named Bob's Hair Remover. on sale now".  You can get very close ("In answer to your question.... Yes, there are solutions to that problem.  I sell one on Marketplace, in fact. ").  You just can't add "Look for Bob's Hair Remover at this Marketplace address or at my shop in world at WXYZ sim."

Back on the old SLX forum we used to have a sub-fourm called New Products, that was very cool and I think there should be one here....In fact I might suggest it, guess they can only say no lol

EDIT: I posted a request here http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Community-Feedback/New-Products-Forum/m-p/813779 if you want to comment on it.

No it bloody couldn't!  We don't want our scripting forum spammed with adverts, thank you very much!

The scripting-library forum can be used to publish scripts but if you want to keep them secret and sell them then no, there isn't anywhere.

Hehehe.... Phrased more gently, the Scripting Forum is intended as a place for scripters to share ideas, challenges, and insights about scripting.  It's a place for new scripters to learn. It's a neutral ground where more experienced scripters aren't competing with each other for scripting clients. We don't tout our own services, nor are we a clearing house for free scripts or a public billboard for posting job opportunities or advertisements for nifty scripting tools.  We will often post a partial script as an example while discussing a challenge, and occasionally post even a complete script, always with the understanding that this is not a commercial site.

/dev/null? Unless you cleverly disguise your ad as a conversation topic or a question, there doesn't seem to be a place for such a thing on these glorious Lithium boards.
