Brandon, Sure you can post an announcement in the forum, but please limit it to section 12 and a single copy at any time. Message slots are limited for the forum and our scroll rate is presently at the 6-7 day rate. This means that messages only last on the forum between 6 to 7 days. As we get more active, like nearing a pending release or just after a release the message traffic will take a tremendous jump and as a result the scroll rate will take a terrific hit….like down to 3-4 days. I would suggest that you might consider posting the announcement every other week or so, but alter the text a bit so it doesn't become boring. Also don't post any rates or pricing in the message. You may also post a file to library 12. Doing this will also give you a chance to explain your services in detail and include pricing or charges for each operation within the file.
