my two cents,
As a newcomer who found this site as the result of an altcoin I was looking into, Giveaways are a pain in the ass, along with the i'm selling x million of *insert coin* I have participated in a total of 2 giveaways after having already mined the coin, giveaways will NOT persuade me to try a coin, the coin setup, dev team and coin community will do that for me.
Why should bitcointalk pay to allow you advertise?
The hosting fees, staff time to moderate the forum etc those of you putting out new coins are reaping the benefits of someone else investment, and while I acknowledge that bitcointalk could benefit from the traffic you bring, advertising revenue, why should you get to benefit of their initial investment? with no risk to yourself?
other than one person I have not heard anyone say they would be willing to put any of their money/bitcoins up to be able to continue to do this.
The admin has, in my opinion, been very gracious in saying you can list your offsite giveaway just don't run it on this site. Last time I checked websites are the ownership and property of the registrant not the community, and quite frankly if you come to my home or to my business, you will conduct yourself in a manner I NOT YOU deem acceptable, and if you don't then let me show you the door.
People this is not a democracy, if you want a forum to be run as such put your money where your mouth is and go start altcointalk.org.
