last night you posted a batch of coffeeshop reviews ... all of these comments were complete within themselves and not an invitation to visit your website ... all of these messages are both acceptable and welcome, they are the sort that people here write all the time to support the acd website
what i object to are the other sort of coffeeshop reviews which are incomplete (indicated by the "..." convention) and which require a click to another website outside of the acd world ... when you do that you are riding piggy-back on the acd website looking for clicks
i have no objection to your original message of this thread which lets everyone know that you have updated your website, the more solid information about amsterdam and netherlands coffeeshops the better, such info helps everyone plan their best trip
there is a page within the acd website that promotes other coffeeshop guide websites, it may be found at
Links: Web Guides
i would support the addition of your website to this list, i would support you starting threads and posting messages about news of improvements to your website, and i would be happy for you to have a message signature letting people know about your website
the one and only thing i am not happy about is posting messages that
require a user to click a link to another website to be able to finish reading a message posted to the acd forum
if you give the acd website and forum the benefit of your experience and provide up-to-date timely posts with loads of information, then we will all benefit from your participation
