Link Posting Tip - AR15.COM

Posted: 6/12/2002 5:13:03 AM EDT

If you're going to post a link to a hostile site, like that clearguidance.com "Sword of Islam" crap or Democratic Underground, don't post a live link.

The administrators of the site you link to can see what sites are linking to theirs. A buddy of mine runs a website and sees where people are linking from.

Post the link as plaintext, with a note as to why, and people can copy and paste into their browser. This keeps Ali Muhammad Al-Qaeda from following your trail back here and crapping all over our house. Thanks.

LOL, how insanely ironic! [:D]
First we get smacked for not knowing how to make a link hot, then we are told not to post hot links.
I love it [:D]

Hey, I'm not [b]telling[/b] anyone to do anything, I'm suggesting. Even if I was telling, who the hell am I that anyone would listen? I'm just a concerned citizen here who would like to avoid getting us trolled by "HillaryTongueKiss" from DU or by "WadingInInfidelBlood" from clearguidance. Or worse yet, getting us hacked by them.

I would, and do, link to news sites, joke sites, other gun sites, etc. The only ones I would avoid linking directly are those who we would view as inimical to our interests: anti-gun folks, liberals/socialists, muslim sites and the like.
