Jahoda Husky Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I'd love to get tipped on other informative resources on the web that other find valuable as well I don't really understand what's so bad at linking to other resources? I can't see how that would keep people away from this forum. And linking back and forth between different sites would probably get lots of other people knowing about this forum as well, resulting in more users. IMHO a forum is only successful because of it's members and they are going to use whatever site they prefer. The more rules you impose - the more likely they are to go elsewhere... A forum is for a reason and that is (hopefully) for the good of the breed and not for ego or politics. Sometimes people lose sight of that I think. as a new member, I agree with these two posts. I understand you work hard to manage the forum, but the members and advice are what makes someone come back to a forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its kind of hard when someone on here asks about how to start sledding or ski-joring or bike-joring with their dog (s) and I can't send them to other sites that have lots of really good information on them.

Marc Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 With all due respect I do wish if people were going to read the announcements they wouldnt cherry pick and read all of them .... On top of this actually read the rules in which they agreed to. First of all this was posted after this topic regarding new rule changes http://www.husky-own...9-rule-changes/ secondly the rules in which every single person who has replied since has agreed to the new rules .... I highly suggest you read them as you are arguing against something that has been altered. 5.02 - Advertising of websites in direct competition with husky-owners.com is not allowed. You may refer to such site in answer to questions etc, however direct advertising of any kind is not allowed. Now please can we stop saying we are against a rule that no longer exists. This was changed as the majority of people did not agree with it and some of the staff were in 2 minds about it. When we actually listen and change things for the better of the community its rather annoying when people dont actually read the things you changed. ie. the rules you agreed to.

Willow Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I apologize for not realizing this. I was not trying to be rude I was just agreeing with something another poster said. I did not know that the rules had been changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Really should have a read if the rules if you are unsure of them. Everyone had to agree to the new ones before being able to post and therefore everyone should have known about them really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erythrox Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 is it ok to list rescue charities details? as some ppl have needed their assistance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 As long as there are no links and it is not in reference to something like "There is a dog going on this site" etc then yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerry_lapworth Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Oops. I think I may be guilty. I havent said to go to a different site specifically, but I have suggested an organisation to someone (put their name in a post) for peole to go to for re-homing a husky..I thought it might help them and their situation. Im guessing this is naughty bad! I will behave from now on! Apologies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyshqa Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I don't think that would be against the rules. 99% of the people here know organisations like HIN, SHWA etc, and as Marc said refering to them is fine. If someone were to sign up looking for a husky there wouldn't be anything wrong with suggesting they get in contact with one of these organisations. Husky-Owners is not selling huskies, so it's not affecting competition here (in act i would be helping charities that are overrun with homeless dogs). Different if you were to suggest they check out a different husky forum to see if any huskies there are going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerry_lapworth Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Oh no I wouldnt do that! I suggested HIN as I volunteer for them... but I have no doubt that they are all equally as excellent in rescuing huskies and such like.

tim&sky Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Fair Play. You worked hard on this site. Perhaps you should consider having affiliate links or an affiliate thread? That really helped out on my game forum. That way it's not an advertisement of, this site is better than that site, but you are saying, if you really like huskies and want other places/experienced people to talk to too, you can also try here, here and here. Stacey xxx EDIT: Then if people want another site added to the list, a moderator could modify it or something. EDIT EDIT: Forgot to say, with affiliates you normally agree accross the sites to have a link signposting to one another, so it's kind of like an advert for an advert. i must agree on that ...........thats fair to all as im no threat now or ever to this site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
