simple.. we are not a source check board.. there are other boards for that.. you can post in the scammer section if you've been scammed, but other than that we are here to learn about gear, not sources..

For the same reason that you don't sit in McDonald's and tell people about all of the other places you can get a burger. It's rude to our sponsors and counterproductive to selling advertising.

Reputable sources all have the same opportunity to become a sponsor here. If they are legit and can prove it, they can pay for a banner, just like Advanced Stealth and AG-Guys do.

Bandwidth, servers and all of the other things that it takes to run this website are very expensive. Our sponsors are the ones that pay for it. Because they are willing to pay for it, you and I have a place to get free and reliable information about a subject that isn't taught in school.

It wouldn't be fair to give what amounts to free advertising to some other source, on the very board that our sponsors pay for.

Does that make sense?
