What's not cool is posting a private conversation in public.... If I wanted to censor anything, I'd just delete your post. Instead I asked you if you would mind removing the direct link (not the text), because it influences both sites' Google rankings.
Yes, Roger Ver pulled a pretty shitty move when I wrote to him a few weeks ago and asked to support us and to tweet about the new forum to his followers. What he did instead is rush to start a separate forum, hoping to drive traffic to his sponsors and shove wallet services down people's throats and stuffed everything with ads.
So yes, I see no reason to elevate his Google rankings at our own expense.
