Since I'm not that sure here is what I've seen"

I bought a digicam, then I started a thread for the digicam, since I have seen other digicam with specific threads, and I know there are quite a number of people with it, then a mod closes/merges it saying there are too much threads.

Then I read the review on LYN frontpage on the LG chocalate hp thing, and I click the forum link which directly goes to a whole new room devoted for the phone, even though there are no post in it whatsoever.

If a room would be dedicated to a hp, then isn't the K750i is way better then the LG? In terms of discussion, price, pro cons, I just have this feeling. And the K750i only has a thread, while the LG has a whole room.

Is it double standard, or is it a sponsored thing which benefits the site? If its a sponsored room, then how about placing an add directly at the entrance, something like Autoworld forums where some of the rooms are sponsored.

I am not being critical, just that I find it slightly odd and ethically incorrect.

I see, then its ok then. Maybe an ad saying "powered by LG" or "sponsored by LG" would be good indicator on the forum topics.
1. to get more income by LG actually paying a space for ads
2. To let uesrs know that the the hardware is sponsored by LG.
Or it would make the website messy?
