It's perfectly OK to say something like "NERD answers this well on their website." We're not trying to black-out all other websites as if we are the only ones on the Internet.

We allow links to related sites that are not forum-specific. And we allow links to certain forums that have something totally unique that BP.net cannot currently offer...such as BOI.

The issue mostly comes up when people spam/advertise other forums on our forum. That is not acceptable. But the only way to stop the "malicious" linking is by making a rule against all general forum links. It's not a rule any of us enjoy enforcing.

I hope that explains that rule a bit better. I know it seems a bit arbitrary sometimes, but we do the best we can.
