It is a developers site for developers, you are correct however, if this is a question pertaining to ASP.NET then this is where you should post your "question". http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/12076/ASP-NET.aspx[^] Your original post was written in a very similar vein that the spammer use, perhaps you could rephrase how you pose your subject when posting in the proper forum. Also at the top of each forum you will find the posting rules pertaining to that particular forum. Regards
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Thank you I appreciate your reply and pointing me in the right direction, maybe it is worded liek spam but tbh what can you write to no tmake it sound like spam?! As soon as theres a link to a website on a post people think spammmm and thats the end of that you get downvoted 4 times! Think it may just be an idea not to bother save my rep any more downward movement! Cheers again for the reply

Wish I'd seen the original message, but it got carpet-bombed out of existence before I got the chance. Based on the replies and the subject (of the replies at least), it seemed kind of harsh to me that it got that kind of treatment. After all, I've seen others (with higher reps) post links to their websites (and other stuff as well) with requests for comment, without having those posts univoted out of existence. But if it sounded spammy, that's probably it. Shame about it since it kind of leaves a bad taste in the OP's mouth about the friendliness of the site. Was the OP asking a programming question or just asking for criticism of his site? If he was only seeking critique, then I'd say this is the proper forum, otherwise you're probably right to redirect him.

Apologies, it looked like spam. It even looked the a candidate for the type of sites that spam.

I did peruse the site and I personally did not notice anything offensive, other than the Ad Link at the bottom I kept wondering what the payload was. If I were to offer any suggestion it would be since this is an international forum that metric and American units be used in the calculators.

The message is gone, and so the need to grow this thread further more as well. Let's pass on.
Or you could just ignore further replies to the thread. :)

Correction of the correction. In America, you use US Customary Units[^] which are derived from the Imperial measurements.

OK, here's a suggestion update... ;) Instead of just using kilograms and centimeters the website could include pounds and inches in the calculators for metric deficient cousins across the pond. :) How long before rage posts another no more posts post?

Do you think rage is likely to get annoyed if we just keep posting random 'do you thing rage...' posts?

LOL (literally). He means well; we're just too "into" the thread to just let it die.

Interesting theory, it may lend itself as a experiment worthy of Dr. Watson or Skinner.

And it has the added benefit of filling up more of Chris's database with even more rubbish that is of no use to man nor beast.
