Re: My (personal) opinion about a mis-use of the Speakeasy.

I hearty hear hear and well done, sirs, on this subject. Use of this website for the promotion and gain of another similar site WITHOUT our invitation, permission or intention to assist another group is, as we say in the local colloquialism: It just ain't right.

We do host another stations show here on Aural Moon, but this is a co-project to promote the better of community of Progressive Rock. If we, as a community, wish to extend those types of projects to other stations, that too is fine. But, it has to be mutual.

If someone wants to promote their show on another site, then that in the SpeakEasy is not something I would oppose. Posting in the news or forum would need to be discussed and decided by the Owner and administrators.

I even recall a time we offered up our white page chat room for use by another site as their chat site server was down. There were many of them that are also members here. They came during the Gagliarchives, we all chatted and played, their server eventually got fixed and they returned to their home (so to speak). It was a lot of fun, BUT it was a mutual relationship that was approved and invitation sent to do so.

I would, however, submit these questions for administrative discussion. Was the show any good? Does it attract listeners to our site - where perhaps they'll come back? Any chance the host will have a personality transplant or do we need to take him out back behind the server and thrash him with a nine-tail connector cord?

Anyway, there's room for co-sponsored events, but the suffix being the key point of that statement.
