just have a look at this:
Hi all,
It has come to my attention that there have been a number of commercial threads being started outside of the Buying and Selling subfora, both by private posters and by retailers/designers. These are not allowed except by special permission, and then only to premium affiliates. Please note that there is a 45 day waiting period after registration during which you will not have privileges to post in the Buying and Selling section.
Commercial members are welcome to start a single thread in one of the Buying and Selling subfora, and everyone is subject to the rules laid out for those subfora. If you are in doubt about the rules, please refer to this thread:

Please heed this announcement. Should I find an unauthorized commercial post or thread outside of the Buying and Selling forum, the poster will be immediately sent a fine notice, to be paid immediately, for $300, and the post or thread will be deleted. If the fine is not paid within 24 hours, the posters membership will be suspended until the fine has been paid.
