Request to have my site added to pricelesswarehome

I think you`ll find `money` is a dirty word here, whether making, or
spending it. alt.comp.`freeware` sort of gives you a clue. <g>.

Regarding the 'money' word, I just want to share something that that has
helped me. Don't friends do that?

Some of my friends here where I live are very happy that I've shared the
'money' thing with them.

I'm really sorry if it offends some people. I've learned on this board
that you can't please everyone.

I would say no. Susan, you might want to start a poll in a new thread,
since people may not see your question buried in this thread.
 
IMO it is inappropriate to have a description that says "make money"
on alt.comp.freeware's web site. I'd like to have that wording revised
please.
Agreed.

The above two sites are a departure from the norm. I'd like some
feedback from the group please. Should an individual's site should be

I'm not comfortable with the concept of allowing some member sites and not
others, unless the site is particularly offensive. So in this case I vote
yes.

If a site has commercial content it is, ipso facto, not exclusively a
freeware site.

Therefore, NO.

We might need to review. When I requested that my site be added being
an exclusive site for freeware was not a requirement.

The site listed for me is my personal site. It's pretty much photos of
the goats I raise and a few photos of east Texas.

I have a freeware site that is linked from the personal site and visa
versa. The freeware site is well indexed in Google and I give direct
links here when I see a request for something on th site.

I was under the impression the sites were freeware related or
personal.

I can switch if the consensus is for freeware only. There is certainly
no commercial content on either site.

I personally lean against commercial content for all. Free host sites
that display commercial material is fine, as long as the site content
is worth it I guess.

I'd advise freeware be separated to another site for sites with mixed
content with no links to the commercial portions. Just my opinion.

I say Yes. I agree with REM, it has never been a requirement that the
member site had to be exclusively about freeware.

Freeware related is not a requirement. It does have to be a personal site. I should have posted the
link to the members sites page - doing that now:

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/Members.php

at the top of the page:

"Please note that not all sites are dedicated to Freeware."

at the bottom of the page:

"Sites are added "by request". If you participate in alt.comp.freeware and would like to have your
personal web site listed post your request in the newsgroup."

There are no stated rules about site content. OTOH I think a request to list a *Warez* site should
be denied as inappropriate. Is listing sites with some commercial content also inappropriate? Should
an individual's site be listed on the ACF Members Sites page if it has commercial content or would
such listings conflict with the "freeware mission" of this newsgroup?

I have no problems with commercial content per se, but would like some
warning in the site description so that I (and anyone else) can decide for
themselves.

Commercial content on a participants personal site is ok with me. A
simple statement stating such should be included in the description
though. I don't see that as a conflict with the intent of this ng.
Participation here is from a vastly diverse group of people with many
interests other than just freeware. Personal sites are often expressions
of that diversity and varied interests.

I am ok with allowing the "members web sites listing" to be just that
and not mandate that the content must be one thing or another with
exceptions noted below. It is a seperate thing from this ng.

I would promote though that sites that contain explicit adult content,
warez, hate, and political agendas be excluded though. Just my opinion.

Whatever is decided, a new and improved description of what is and isn't
allowed to be listed will need to be added and probably some sort of
disclaimer.

Hold on...I predict...Now Playing! at a fav. ng near you...more work for
Susan. :)

That would be a problem for me. I have links to my own adult content
sites from my homepage (not hardcore, but anyway)...

Nothing there offensive to me, but I don't offend easily in those
regards. Even the hate and political agenda thing is very subjective.

I don't know...this is kind of a tough issue. I tend to be more liberal
on these types of things. After all, who's to say what is and isn't
offensive in a general sense. Hate and warez content may be a little
more easily defined, but I can see even the hate thing being arguable.
Where do you draw the line, I mean. I don't have a good answer.

Anyway, if we were to vote on individual listings, I wouldn't have a
problem with your site, just as I wouldn't have a problem with a similar
women oriented site.

I wish I'd never said anything to begin with...will I never learn? LOL

I say no - even as a long-time contributor to the group, and the owner
of a site that, despite being 'commercial', doesn't fit in with the
traditional image of a business site.

I'd have liked to have said yes, but I feel that this could lead to
the administrators of the ACF site having to make some complicated
decsions rather like the one that prompted this thread.

I'm happy enough to be able to promote my site here via my sig.

Regards,
