[QUOTE="Timber_MG, post: 27996, member: 18"] I think it has to do with the nature of marketing (whose very intention it is to not only raise product awareness but also influence buying decisions as the prerogative of a commercial concern, whether directly, by getting people to shill and what not in subversive behaviour) I feel that forums are a space that is generally a refuge from the commercialized, over-marketed world of TV, shopping malls and the like where every second person tries to shift perception of their or their mate's product line. A space where something can be discussed/criticized/praised openly without fear of retribution and where people will engage the situation with applying their minds, knowledge and shared experience.
