Since it's here in the PG thread -
Wasn't he kind of chased off because there was a fine line between what he was doing and promoting a non-affiliated site? I loved his stuff and the separate threads. For awhile, we had a compromise of doing separate PG video and commentary threads. Some videos would end up in the commentary, which is fine, but the video thread would be clean of debates and miscellaneous thoughts so users could easily find that content. I found that very helpful, especially when I missed games. A lot of stuff gets buried.
Thoughts?
I think that was it. It wasn't just about promoting another site but it was promoting a competing site to RealGM is the problem if I recall correctly. It's one thing to advertise ball gloves or methods to improve verticals (i.e. the boingvert vids) or other 'products' related to basketball but kind of a different thing to be advertising your own basketball blog/board on...well...another companies basketball board. It's like someone advertising Chevy on a Ford site. Yeah I mean the videos were really nice but still have to draw the line somewhere. What he should have done is work something out with RealGM to see if his site can do some sort of related/affiliate work or some other means so that it was more amenable to both his own site and RealGM...rather than just doing it and hoping/expecting RealGM would be ok with it.
