LMAO. Honest, yes, but bad etiquette. The guy didn't bother to at least introduce himself and get flamed (as is the custom), nor did he post to any other topics. I've grown so annoyed with people showing up to pimp out their site, film, whatever when they offer nothing of interest to any discussions and don't participate in anything that doesn't somehow benefit them directly. Product placement/publicity for items is one thing. A company is getting something in return. Going to a genre-based forum and saying "send me this/ send me that" is something completely different. I take exception to these guys wanting handouts for money, stories, ideas, whatever from the fans who buy the films in the first place. There are film sites where there are investors you can contact about getting your film made. If they're not interested, maybe your idea needs some work. I'd rather see the 12 year old's film he made for $200 of his own money and his own idea than some film made from some beggar's money, by a borrowed idea and sold on some web site that's hosting it for "free" myself. Enough is enough already. There should be a sticky post at the top saying 'No Soliciting' at the top of the Indie threads here.
