    The Zone and CAD/CAM Trainer

    Apparently people have "issues" with posting links from this forum to others(namely CAD/CAM Trainer). This poll was posted over there and I thought I would post it here and see what ya'll had to say.

    Personally, I believe it can be a co-whateverthatwordis relationship. I don't believe that site is going to be a threat to the zone....it covers a very specific topic.

    That's my opinion-what's yours?

    My advice is worth less then you paid for it.

    I agree. I think that software and programming is such a vast area that it having its own specific site is a good idea. Helps keep everything organised and easily accessible. We are all here to help each other and promote cnc after all. Theres still a huge amount of other cnc stuff on the zone that wont be on CAD-CAM trainer. I think CAD-CAM trainer should do up a logo in the same style as the CNCZone one on the top left of the page, and there should be a banner to click to go from one site to the other. M2c.

    You have a point.

    There are four votes "to keep the heck away from each other".....I'm interested in hearing from those that voted for that option....I would like to hear the reason for your opinion.

    What's up with the blink tag?

    I don't know what this other site is about, but if it's even 1/10th as annoying as using a blink tag in a headline, then I vote we stay the hell away from it.

    What do you mean by "join"? Nobody is trying to combine the two sites or make them "sister" sites. I just think we should beable to exchange links freely without our posts being pulled.

    I am sorry I don't see a problem here these are two different sites I have visited many cnc related sites to learn various things why is this such a big deal the zone is a great site and I seriously don't see anyone comparing the two sites.

    Here is the rules-

    POSTING LINKS:
    Our policy on linking to other web sites is pretty simple. Members may link to any other site that provides information that helps answer another members question or is just of general interest to members of that particular forum. One of the most basic tenets of the Web is the open exchange of information, and the CNCzone forum managers wholeheartedly support this type of exchange.

    The only type of linking (besides porn and spam, of course) that will not be allowed on our site is when members solicit people to leave our site and join a competing service. That's just common sense. However, people are always welcome to link to any on-line resource, whether it's on our site or any other site, in order to share useful information with fellow members.

    Your posts are getting pulling becuase your links have become SPAM. SEE THE POST ABOVE.

    The issue is SPAM, CNCzone has built and surpassed the critical mass mark and would be darn near impossible to complete with the site. So the problem is that people come here to learn and help others, NOT to be constantly faced with a link to another site, just to promot it.

    Links are fine as the RULES state, I personally have not time to sit and pacify trouble makers netheir do my moderators, and I hit the ban button on a regular basis.

    Thanks CNCadmin, you answered my question. It's not my posts that were getting pulled, people at the other site were talking about it. I just started the poll to see what ya'll thought about it.

    I didn't and don't mean to start trouble by this thread, so please don't take it that way.

    Gray,

    The reason that a specific member was Banned is between Paul G (CNC Zone Site Owner) and that Member. It really isn't our place to ask why that person was Banned.

    BTW: CNC Zone has only Banned one other Member that I can recall. That means that Paul and the Moderators are doing a very good job to keep this Site Clean and Full of Helpful Members.

    As long as everyone follows the rules this Site Will be able to Help many such as us.

    Thanks for the nice Site Paul
    :cheers:

    a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, especially in this business.

    A lot of knowledge, from a variety of sources, is a good thing
    If you cut it to small you can always nail another piece on the end, but if you cut it to big... then what the hell you gonna do?

    Well that seems to have solved the problem. CAD/CAM Trainer seems to have disappeared off the wwweb. Or at least, I cant locate any of its pages, and I had it bookmarked! Wonder what happened....is there a web-based bermuda triangle...

    Edit: Seems to be working again now!....hmmm...

    More information is almost always a good thing. If you don't agree with it then pass by it. But it may be an opportunity to learn a new thing and broaden your horizons.

    Can't post the direct link because its against the zone rules. Which is fair enough and ok, I have no problem with that.

    But here's a hint! :

    Go to 'Google.com'
    Search for "CAD-CAM Trainer Forum" (Case Sensitive)
    Click on the 3rd search result which is a vbulletin site.
    Look at post number 2333.

    (If this post is against the zone rules then I apologise and feel free to remove it.)
