Frankie 8,157 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Asked by the club? Seems rather petty. Not formally no but after some discussion with relevant people last week I've made the decision to do this. They're happy for us to embed Youtube content into articles/forum posts and attribute quotes into our articles - along with using other content such as photos so it seems fair enough. Website hits and social media will be used when negotiating commercial deals so it makes sense. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,346 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 That's a shame. I tend not to click on links, and it will also lead to less discussion as the articles aren't there for people to quote on to make points. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,157 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 I don't think it's overly onerous nowadays to load up another page via a link. Takes seconds. I believe it's also good SEO for the forum actually in terms of back-linking. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,346 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I don't think it's overly onerous nowadays to load up another page via a link. Takes seconds. It's not the time as such but just the ease of having everything in the one place, plus other website's colouring can make it less favourable for surfing at work. Gersnet's colouring is subtle. I'm not saying I never do it, but I'll quickly look at something and move on. I've got the gist by reading the headline and would read the article if it's there but I'm unlikely to click another link when I know the point it's making. Perhaps it's just me but it's just the way that I use the site. I believe it's also good SEO for the forum actually in terms of back-linking. I don't have a clue what that means. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 It'll save Ian hours of copying and pasting Doesn't take much longer to read if you click on the link IMO....... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no problem C&P an article,sometimes it's easier to read the article on here rather than click another link to read it,especially on your phone!,rules are rules though,I don't want to be getting banned from here every week like I do on FF:D 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Just a small point, but I'm unlikely to click on a link if there is no explanation of where it goes and what it's about. I like to know if it's interesting, relevant, doesn't need registering, is not excessive in intrusive advertising and most of all: SFW... (safe for work). There's valid reasons for wanting to stay on this site... Saying that, the official site should pass those tests - but I still won't click unless there's a description... (none of this is a criticism of anyone, just feedback in how I browse, that might also apply to others) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
