Look, Tiki, I appreciate what you're doing. Starting a web forum is a bitch, especially one on NYC where there are probably far more established forums for people to visit. The problem we have here is that, this is a Boston forum. You need to market to New Yorkers. Most of us don't really care about things to do in NYC, and even though you post broader topics here, it's obviously a ploy to get us to visit your site.
So you see, we generally interpret anything you post as spam, and likewise, disregard it.
