1st let me say that i dont really have a big issue about it - i never do although i like to see stuff in the right places .. i'm funny that way. but i dont have a big issue if there's no bullshit.
then let me follow by saying ... bullshit.
at least be honest.
you're pimping your online magazine. if all you wanted to do was give stuff away - then give it to a neighbour. You wanted exposure for your site .. and were offering some free stuff as a possible reward. Thats fine too .. i dont really care one way or the other.
it does irk me when its done in less than honest ways though..
like the guys who come in here and their first post is : 'hey guys, anyone ever heard about this film ? i wonder what it's like ?" then posts all the web page info, etc etc...
sort of like saying 'all i wanted to do was give away free stuff'
just go to the book section here .. (i guess that'd be the most appropriate place) and say something like :
"hey i dont really have any other purpose here other than to pimp my online magazine. If you come take a look there is the slight possibility that you'll win a prize of some promotional stuff that was given to me"
who could find fault with that ... ?
for the most part the folk here like to see people join to participate in movie related chit chat - share some insights .. put some new perspectives on some old thoughts, basically bring in some new blood.
otherwise (as someone has stated in the past) its kind of like having a house party .. and some guy comes knocking at the door asking if anyone wants to buy some booze ... that they can only drink at some other house party down the road.
