My apologies. Next time I will ask first but I didnt think that post would be taken as Spam. I hate SPAM just like the next man. I`m just an unsigned VA artist trying to get a lil exposure. No harm intended man I`m just trying to blend.  
Sorry,

Poota

Well, we all make mistakes. Try and put yourself in our position: new poster, second post, promoting his own website.

What does that look like?

There you go. But hey, don’t let the first experience throw you off completely. Welcome to the boards!

The URL has been edited. What kind of content was in the link? (Don’t post the link again, obviously!)

This probably should be in the pit, so that UB can add it to his pitting tally.

Eh. No big deal, as my colleague Coldfire has said.

Samarm, the site linked is available in pootacris’ homepage link at the bottom of his post. That’s the acceptable method of self-promotion here. Anything else you see of this nature here has been posted by prior agreement with the staff.

I understand fellas. Again I meant no harm and thank you for the welcome.  
The site itself is just a hip hop website. My personal site. No porn and other than my album itself there is no other advertisement.

thanks guys,

Whats the policy on sigs? Are you allowed to put the URL of your website in your sig? (I know this should be in ATMB, but this seems like a convienient place)

That’s fine, too.
