This question is genuine and a reflection of my relative newness on ICMAG. Who is the "competitor" that runs this forum? I didn't realise it's attached to a breeder or seed bank or ?
I also had no idea ICmag was started by a seed company.The underlying problem is that you are a business and you are on a competitors site. That is not a recipe for any kind of success. It's just not in the cards. This site was built by someone doing the same thing you are doing and they are not going to let you get a leg up on account of their hard work. It's that simple. The best thing you can do is get your own website up and running, then figure out how to attract people to do business with. As long as you piggy back on these types of forums you will be suppressed. That is just how capitalism works. I feel your pain and know not how I can make anything better. It sucks bro. I have a business and there is no way I would put it out here on someone else's thing so it can be crushed, ignored, or pushed to the side. Move in silence when involved in capitalism. I wish you the best and hope you can get to a better place with your business.
