Has anyone over toyed with the idea of doing a text yourself before you wreck yourself kind of deal like the berrics does for skateboarding? I think it would be a cool/interesting/funny thing to watch. Thoughts?

I just got a response from Malcolm and they said, "Its a gray area for advertising" It's understandable i geuss. But anyways They said they put it in their to see what other mods think of it.

Are you fucking kidding me? They were the first people to volunteer to make an edit like this. It's the same thing as any other person doing except they have a different color name than the rest of us.

Welcome to the world of social marketing! How's it feel to slowly have your eyes opened to the reality that doing shit like this actually helps move product?

Why do you think Surface sells so many skis?

wait, it's legit if someone who doesn't have an orangename makes the thread, right? it can still be a bluehouse event but if someone not directly affiliated with them posts it, it's still legit.

It's BARELY advertising, and certainly not BLATANT advertising....Bluehouse isn't asking for money or anything, and they're not even saying that prizes would be Bluehouse stuff. It's just an edit......

You wouldn't do it simply because of it, but it builds inside of you, and gets a good rep in your opinion.

I do agree it is a grey area.

Ah makes sense. It sucks but I feel like I can agree with the gray area.

However the purpose of the contest is NOT soley advertising, so I think it should be ok. If you guys came up with the idea that'd be different. Instead, someone posted a thread and you guys stepped up to the plate. That's a little different.

I say it's fair game, but I'm no mod.
