we don't pick and choose where google adsense places it ads. forums that place ads, also choose the keywords of the ads it wants placed.

not a double standard at all. we don't place ads on specific forums. members posting links to forums are doing just that. advertising for those forums.

it takes time for all forums to build. a weekly check in thread helps. people subcribing to the threads they post on too.

people will join many forums all at the same time. ask the very same question, then forget where they posted.
