Actually, no one mentioned names, but if you really want to run with this and defend content provider spam, that's fine by me, lol.

We need to get out there and keep pushing to keep selling, for every person who wants the softly softly approach from a content provider there are two who will buy from the aggressive marketer.

Boards shouldn't have to deal with spam of any kind. If your product is good other webmasters will recommend you. If you deal in an upfront manner, if you stick your spam to the announcement threads I doubt anyone would care. It's just the steady stream of bullshit posts that get a little too much.
Like that fool you hired, what's his name, and he went to every board asking if this content was milf content or not, he did it on every board, on some boards he posted the same thread twice, etc. Seriously, fire him and buy some advertising instead.
Also you make it like boards can't control this aggressive marketing...sure they can, they just ban you, and there goes your aggressive marketing sales vs. just participating with board members.

Now look around at the number of content providers who do advertise on the boards. How many can you count? Because the truth is the sponsors have priced it out of our reach.

Actually, Sellmycontent did a rather nice board promotion on another board, club xstream promotes here and elsewhere. Have you checked the cost of advertising on GG&J? I think Jim handles that part of the board, maybe you should drop him a line and see if you can work something out.
Then again, if you can get the milk for free, why buy the cow.
