Re: Doug, Mark, and Derek.
We're administrators/moderators and we only get so much room in our PM inbox, and we get a lot more messages than you think from the over 1600 members including "can you help me with this or that? Can you delete my comment? Can you move our thread here or there? How do I...?" etc. We read all the threads (personally, I fix typos and make everything in the titles uniform, and more, so I know what's going on and coming up. In fact, I even get phone calls many times a week from people asking what's going on or coming up for the weekend.) So, yeah, please use our inboxes for issues, not to promote.
As for Myspace, yes it is a good tool for promotion, but there is such thing as overpromotion, and gigantic flyers that won't even fit on one page are eyesores and obnoxious. Graphic file manipulating programs have a RESIZE option for a reason. And as I said, Imageshack even has a function where you can put a smaller thumbnail in comments and clicking will take the user to a full-sized version of what you posted. There's a fine line between use and abuse. If the file is larger widthwide than a typical comment box, use the thumbnail option.
Again, this is a general statement to all, not specifically targeted at anyone in particular.
