yes ebay is a comercial site---you could say that about any pay site ---not pay unless you want to buy something----

One other bad thing about hotlinking pictures---if the member decides to remove a photobucket photo ---the site ends up with ungodly Red Xs

Ruby has posted some links to non pay sites that help explain things in the bdsm lifestyle --these are allowed ----now I can not possibly see every post but if I see one to a pay site that says xxxxwhatever.com I will remove it

Links to news sites are fine ---you will find links to other free story sites here

but we are not advertising products ----our sponsers do not like to pay for advertising other sites ----and we sure as hell can not afford to loose sponsors -----if they get nit picky all site references will stop ---so lets just keep it to free sites ----your home pages are fine in your signature---but do not post expressly to advertise your homepage
