If we allow link posting, many members will not bother to share any information on board hence this place will become more of a link directory. If they want to share any article, news item, notes etc. they should post it here instead of a link.
We do not allow links of other sites except official ones because information on those sites is less likely to be removed whereas people tend to remove posts more often on private blogs and sites. In this case, the shared links become useless. Advertising is also a major concern in this regard.
Besides, if it is inevitable to share any personal page/group/profile/blog link then one is free to share it through profile.  |
Thank bro, now I understand its use. Yes you are correct. For instance, I remember I was looking for a time table of exam once, the poster had given the direct link to that location. But as few years had passed the link was removed from the site. So, I could not get it. Whereas, if he had placed the image of time table here on forum I would have got the time table.
Thanks again
