If you have to self-describe yourself as an authority, that's a bad sign. So is self-advertisement on a forum of people who all have a product to shill but have learned when's good and bad to speak up.
I was simply providing insight into the status of my established site. I also happen to be the direct subject of the topic, so why not speak up?
Because it suggests to me a lack of strategy. You're not pitching your product to us. From what I've seen of your site it's not something that would appeal to most of us. So it's a tad misguided to be making your sales pitch here rather than in a forum where you're more needed.
My apologies. It was not my intention to make a sales pitch.
