I am going to have to agree with the other guys. It seems like you are coming across that advertising here is the #1 priority. If you can't advertise, why be around? I don't think that is the right attitude. If you build up a good reputation by helping people on the board out, the word will spread even if you don't have a shop thread. I am also sure they would be a lot more willing to give you a thread if you have been around on the board for a while and helping people out. From what I have seen in the past, people that spout off about how great they are, usually aren't.
