Personal Messaging (PM) Advertising
This is an absolute no-no. The majority of message boards will treat PM advertising as spam and are very likely to warn and punish - including removing PM privileges and filtering your board's URL. PM advertising is no different to spam emails; it's unwanted advertising that takes up space and simply grates on the recipient. It is highly inconsiderate to adopt this method and your board may gain a negative reputation for it (don't think communities are entirely separate: word gets around quickly if a pattern emerges).
Remember: respect the rules of other boards and don't do anything that is a simple annoyance to others. It is one thing if someone requests a link to your board, it is quite another when you start PMing people out of the blue.
