Geoff owns these boards and the parent website. The chances are good that he'd have no problem with you advertising another website (he's very fair) but you should have asked permission first. It's a simple sign of respect.

You're new here. I'm not sure to which other member you are referring but he/she may have been around for awhile and more leeway is granted them when dealing with such matters. Maybe one day you'll be in that group, but it looks doubtful as of now. You're bringing a lot of grief on yourself with your arrogance and attitude. Chill and get to know how things operate here.
