We were loaned a review unit by LG for the review. The other advertisments are paid for.

LG requested a subforum for the phone, they agreed to address issues, discussions and such in relation to the phone in the subforum. We applied the same terms we had in the Price and Dealers guide here. They (LG in this case) are willing to come in and support the end users on a direct basis, which we believe is beneficial, and we're merely providing them with the platform.

we do not want to set a trend by allowing ad space to invade the forum topics. It would then set a precedent, and we will have to agree to advertisments on forum topics etc - something that would generate more money for us, but at the expense of making the site look like some pasar malam. Believe me, we've had lots of requests for such ads that we've turned down.

The LG forum was created for the sole purpose of allowing a direct interaction between our forumers and the support staff at LG. It would have been the same for any other phone, if requested by their respective companies.

I will however take your suggestion on editing the description of the forum to avoid confusion.
