I am am on the fence about commercialization. On one hand, I think that we should create a separate forum for business ventures to advertise and allow other Flyertalkers to support their business if they would like. On the other hand, there would need to be a way to make sure that these are not scam artists (not that any Flyertalker is). We need to make sure that the forum would be a safe place to market a business and possibly have others invest, donate, or purchase products and/or services. If we created a separate forum, I would not be opposed to allowing a signature with a link to the business forum.
I am not a shareholder nor do I work for any business that markets to Flyertalkers.
