Erm, this is a bit of shameful self promotion. I've been interviewed for and written for countless magazines and I don't go around spreading it. I'm not saying that you didn't earn it, I'm saying that publicising it like crazy like this is an egocentric thing to do, and this is coming from me...a man with an ego the size of a galaxy.
This sort of shameless selfpromotion is not befitting a site of this calibre nor the webmaster of it.

Me providing easy links on the front page so it's not missed for the hundreds of thousands of people who visit the site for the information does not equate to self promotion. It is me making things easier for the visitors. This, however, is not.This is coming from somebody who prefaced every single newspost he made for a month with a mostly-unchanging blurb about how amazingly comprehensive his coverage of the new games was. That's fine, apparently, but making a single newspost about how one of our members has been interviewed? Well, clearly that's just shameless self-promotion.
You vex me, young Merrick. You really do.
A thread no. The frontpage of one of the most popular Pokémon related sites, it's sure getting there.

If it was the first instance, I'd have just let it go, but there have been other recent examples such as every page of Bulbapedia having the "Vote for Liam to be TopGeek" thing. It's another in a long line of unprofessional incidents.Perhaps not (and well done mentioning your hundreds of thousands of visitors there). However, it is something that can seem like self-promotion to other people, especially as a single, stickied announcement would have served exactly the same purpose. Sometimes people will read "self-promotion" into something that was done in all innocence.
Just as you seem to be the only one here who has interpreted the newspost about Archaic as self-promotion.

I'm saying this as a friend to Bulbagarden, not to cause friction.
Yes, and I am well within my rights to point out that it is a bad choiceI think its Liam's choice to do what he chooses with his own website.

Yeah, like advertising in practically every magazine in the Pokémon Related world isn't? Shove back to your own site. You run stuff like this and we don't complain to you.
Oh Joe...
As a person who has been interviewed and written about I can say that you're missing the point. being interviewed in this fashion is an honor. And it pertains to Bulbagarden. As you can see, many of us are interested in the article because we recognize how cool it is and how it's about someone we all know. Someone kind and honest and hardworking. I myself want to read this article and I'm glad it was made known through bulbanews. If you want to jealous that no one is paying attention to you now then that's fine. But do it someplace where people actually like you.
And I, as rule director, am well within my right to say that calling someone unprofessional, refering to what he does as shameless self promotion, and so on, qualify under "flaming and baiting"
Being a nice person I won't infract if this particular line of attacks (no matter how justified you feel they are) ends here.
Capice?
