    Thanks for the clear explanation, Mike. I just wonder if this thread would be good posted as an announcement, rather than left in the semi-obscurity of off-topic?

    Best regards

    Steve, there is nothing obscure about this forum section. I'll bump it if need be. However, experience has shown most members use this forum to the exclusion of most others.

    Not at all. It's about promoting the site and in turn promoting the wearing of the kilt and all that comes with it. There is a fountain of information on this site, and I know I for one greatly appreciated that information in my early days of kilt wearing. Of course when I started the only two forums were Tom's cafe and Bravehearts and neither had the experienced members that Xmarks has right now. Just look at the DIY section for an perfect example of this. If it increases sales for our sponsors I am sure they will not complain about that.

    Please remember that this is a free site and that the advertising dollars allow it to remain free. I think you guys forget that we do this for free, and I don't recall hearing about Hank getting rich from this site. I am sure Hank or Mike could explain this better, but Hank is on his yacht in the mediteranian right now and Mike was only checking in from his castle in the Highlands

    Perhaps it doesn't come up on a search for "kilts" but I find this site very often on searches of a more specific nature. Frequently this site comes up as the number one source for certain pieces of information. Just off the top of my head I can remember my daughter asking the other day about which tartan Rowdy Roddy Piper wore. I didn't know so I googled it and lo and behold there was a thread here about it and it came up #1 (even though the question was never answered). This is not to say that we don't need more exposure, I just wanted to point out that these forums are a wealth of information and search engines know it.

    Actually Mike and I are at my place in St Tropez. Internet is intermittent at this point (picking up a wireless signal on the beach isnt that easy...)

    Did someone say something about kilts? Bah.

    Over 2 Million page views per month is pretty good you know. There must be something here that people want to see. My guess is that they are coming here to get good info about kilts and wearing kilts.

    Luckily we don't have much trash talk and off-topic to junk our forum up. I cant help it if advertisers like that kind of format.
