Nice site, but not really my taste. Too bad I can't see Farscape more.

Not to offend, and because despite being registered here since Janurary, I don't know all the rules and idiosyncracies of the board from not being a more consistant visitor until now, but how is posting his link in here spamming compared to posting it in your signature? Or did he post it in several forums and I haven't seen it yet?

Posting for the sake of advertising a URL is spam. Posting a useful message with a URL in it isn't.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

He means that if you post an URL without any reason, other than that you think it's kinda cool, it differs from talking about something you really care about and posting an URL that is relevant, adds to the topic and maybe even becomes asked for by the other people in the thread.
Some forums have loads and loads of threads just starting with "HEY!!! U GOTTA CHECK THIS OUT!!! TELL ME WHAT U THINK PLEEEZ!!!" and then nothing more. Some even do it just to get hits to their own webpage so they can show it at lunch-break the other day, or sumth'n.
