Is It Fair For Forum Sites To Employ "NoFollow" In Signatures?

    I understand that a forum site will never grow as huge as DP if it is all developed by one person. A forum is a community of efforts. It's a shared work, a shared labor of love mostly by webmasters.

    But what do you think of forum sites who implement "nofollow" attributes? Is it fair to members who help the forum grow?

    Depends on what the forum gives to the members already.

    I think it is fair so long as they do not try to hide the fact that they do it. Altjhough I think they will grow faster by being generous. It is a basic law of Karma, Abundance and the Golden Rule.

    I can't understand why they should do that cause they don't lose anything.

    ok, maybe this is a bit offtopic, but why do jarodboy and erolelcott have the same avatar?

    pretty simple.
    The advertiser in sig/avatar sales purchased both their avatar spots.
