Sandbox

Thus my question what's so special about them..
I don't consider promoting a free product as "self"- promotion?
I give it to anybody and can't even link to it here?

*sigh* of course IF we rename this forum to 'Open Source Templates' there would be provision to allow people to post a link to their open source template.

Just so you don't start conspiracy theories, you might want to change your tone from 'your rules' to 'the rules of the forum'.

The rules of the forum do

In your signature yes, on the news site, yes, in your forum posts, no.
Honestly, this thread is going off topic now...

Just one last thing: on the first page of threads in that Products forum, only 5 threads are about templates. Rest is "products". Maybe better rename to "Open Source Extensions" and create a new "Open Source templates" one, less stuff to move.. Can still close that one afterwards..

Sorry. Its been a long long day,no offence intended

My eye was just drawn back to the "open source products" forum by a post with  188 replies and 19477 views

The next most recent post is  607 replies 100723 views

So I guess some people find the forum useful and for things other than templates.
