I understand that you can advertise in your signature ,but it has made it incredibly difficult to advertise. With that being said is there a stand alone website or another place to advertise?

You can advertise in your signature and your profile. I don't see how that is difficult at all.

From the guidelines: 

Spamming & Advertising

We expect all posts, messages and other forms of communications to be relevant to the particular G17 Media project or service that they originate from. Content which we deem to be irrelevant or otherwise undesirable to the discussion or project in question will be removed, with warnings or other disciplinary measures being issued following for repeat violations of this policy.

As part of our commitment to encouraging a welcoming and lively environment throughout all of our services, we forbid most forms of advertising. We do, however, exempt the following pages and circumstances from this policy:

• Member profile pages.
• Member post signatures.
• Links to related resources or files which are relevant, and provide a valuable addition, to the subject matter at hand.
• Any page or other communications channel where exemptions are given.

EDIT:You can advertise on youtube, for example. But you can't link it to a topic here. Did this make any sense at all? :p

Yes it does but do you know why they took the groups link down at all?

It's currently down for maintenance, according to . Source: >

There are only a few options you can do (all of which ineseri has said).

 

You can add a link in your signature and my page, they'll get noticed when you become active in the forums.. I just guess if you want attention you'll have to post some more posts on posts

Ok,so from what I am gathering is the groups tab wil MOST LIKELY be open up again?

It will indeed be opened up sometime in the future.

I think the groups section is down from the same reason the Crime Stats section is down (Jay is trying to find a way to have them function but use less resources)

 

So if that is the case, yes it will be back up eventually. the people that can give a definite answer on that is Jay since he runs all the technical administrations for the site. Sam and LMS (developers) might know aswell.

 

Ok we'll thank all of you!!!!!!!

No problem, that's what a community is for :)

the LCPD:FR community is here to help, We're all big one.. Semi happy family

LCPDFR.com wasn't made for advertising in any form, and the group system was/is something which is a valued-added service. We don't have to provide it.

That being said, it'll open again when it opens. No ETA. There's more pressing stuff which is currently taking priority both in my life and on LCPDFR.com.

 

Ya and I get it,it's good for everyone to have a life away from the computer. I just wish that we could post in the forms
