Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Have any sites actually been banned?
I see a number of forum-based sites listed in this section alone.
Or is it just that these sites can no longer advertise here.

If you read the thread, it was posted within the last two weeks. So, as of that date, it is prohibited. I don't think Rich expects me (or anyone) to go through the forum and delete all of the competing forum postings since this web site was created.
It's also not a "banning," it's a consideration/respect issue for Rich and Fauna to not advertise competing forums.

Thank you, banning was a poor word choice on my part.
It just seemed kind of strange to read this post and see others on the same page that essentially violate the new rule.
Thank you for the clarification.

If people want to follow the siren's call of their own self interests to set up a competing BOI-style forum, and in the process destroy this one, then that will be on their head, not mine.
So as of now, I am rescinding the restriction on advertising by similar or competing websites. The only caveat to this is if I have a PERSONAL reason to dislike someone or their website, then their advertising will not be accepted. In other words, don't believe that you can crap in my living room and assume I am going to be OK with your putting a sign on my front door pointing to your living room.

I don't know whether this helps clarify things?

This thread was last posted in 7 months ago and no longer stickied when Rich decided he was going to allow competing forums. Not too sure why you brought it back to the top?

Since this restriction has been rescinded, I don't see any reason to keep this thread open.
