Beliefnet doesn't like competition (ritual, faith, Jewish)

From my inbox

PahBob,

Welcome to Beliefnet and to the Sexual Orientation Debate Boards!

It's always great to have new participants on our boards with new views.

Unfortunately, I had to delete your post because you referenced competing
website in your signature, which is against the Rules of Conduct.

I have copied your post below so you can repost it without the reference
to religiousforums.com.

Chaulk up a site that won't let us "advertise" - even when it's only an email address

Hehe. Some forums get really strict on posting of other forums. I'm a little more lienent b/c there is good information at all types of forums. People will always come back to the place they enjoy the most.

hmmm....beliefnet needs more maketing classes. In marketing beliefnet and religiousforums are not competing entitiens but complemenatary ones. A person who posts on a forum for sprituality is more likey to post on another one than say a non-tangent forum. The two are not mutually exclusive to a site that must make a killing like they do on advertsing but complimentary because it had fuels to the debate to bounce form forum to forum.

One of the biggest problems with beliefnet has been their lack of flow. I posted there a couple of times after being reffered here by a jewish woman living in Austin whose real name I do not know. I stopped because nobody else seems to post on there and i can be days before anyone bothers to reply to posts.

Their biggest strength I see is the advertsing and positioning they have done with other groups that they see as complementary. I think with the amount of adervtising that they do that they make a larger percentage of their money from that as opposed to from memebership donations. If my theory is correct than they should realize that they can't "lose" memebers to other websites because the ones post here will likely stil visit that one but, it wouldn't be as true if they didn't make a big chunk of money from advertsing.

People looking for faith will always be "faithful"

It's a confusing line at best. I allow the use of "competing sites" in signatures or as an answer to a specific question. However, there are three that I have put in the censored list just to eliminate spam and since they are actively trying to hurt my site.

But sometimes I just want to put a stop to all the cyber poaching and especially to one cyber squatter in particular.

BTW, this site is MUCH more friendly than the other one.
