Would these sig lines be obnoxious?

As some of you have already realized, I'm devoting this entire year to creating a website where gun owners can get detailed info on shops they don't know about.
The problem for me is that I don't know when I'm overstepping the bounds of good taste. Obviously, I want people to check out the shops that are on my site. Conversely, I don't want to make people feel like I'm selling snake oil everytime I post.
So--and with the gracious latitude given me by the moderators--which signature line would be least offensive, yet let you know that my site serves a purpose you might appreciate?

It's finally up? I still say this is a prime idea.
Good job thus far!

I voted for the first one simply because it says everything the other 2 do but in a smaller package.

Who would be offended by free enterprise?:confused:
Has John Kerry registered on THR? Better ask what rifle for duck, and bear!:D

You're onto an excellent idea. I hope it meets and exceeds your expectations.

As long as it's not more than a few lines, I couldn't care less what your signature has in it--advertisements, quotes, whatever.

I voted #2, there's no reason you shouldn't put this in your signature line. I often follow links in people's sig lines.

Are we voting on which sig line would be the most obnoxious? :confused:
In that case, I'll vote for the last one. :D

On some "not all" of the other Firearm Forums you quickly find that finding honest vendors with good prices is not always what you get when asking for a recommendation. And if you post something about a vendor that they "the other forums" don't happen to have as a paying advertizer or you post your honest opinion of the vendor in question. You might find you can't do this. Seems many Firearm Forums are owned or run by venders of products advertized on their sites. I would hope any new form or site would be a really honest and free one.:)

Apparently some of the moderators had a discussion about this and decided that it would be ok. But I feel as though putting any more than what I have now in my sig would be taking advantage of Oleg's free forum.
So, in the words of Emily Latella, "never mind." ;)
However, if I find somebody asking about gun shops in City X, please don't get annoyed if I post a link to a shop on my site that may be of interest.
Cerberus, I know some of the forums you're talking about. With my site, I'm writing the descriptions for the shops. I try very hard to give an accurate description without overstating the shop's appeal. Seeing as how I'm trying to get these shops to eventually pay me $10 a month for the service, though, I can't exactly write "Dick's Gun Emporium is a cobweb-filled hole in the wall with two guns and an evaporated bottle of Hoppes #9 in stock." ;)
