I am not trying to convince anyone of anything.
I observe
The only place where footwearetc.com ads seem to feature Skins is on this message board
Other footwearetc.com ads seem to feature MBT.
Footwearetc. does not list Skins as a featured brand. It is very far down when sorted by "popularity"
The ad you posted showed only the brand name. How would it "bring people to footwearetc. stores"? Because they liked the name? Why wouldn't footwearetc. use it's featured and most popular brands for advertising?
You were the one who posted that you saw a Skins ad on this website. You posted a picture. Because I think that's unusual I am "disproving anything remotely positive about Skins".
Anyone is welcome to present their argument that a stock message board is the best place to advertise shoes or that the footwearetc.com ad has appeared all over the web. I don't believe either, but I'm certainly willing to listen.
As I keep saying, board readers should have all perspectives, not just from those who own the stock and stand to benefit by brining in new investors. Some seem to have made it their personal mission to discredit my POV, not by presenting counter evidence, but by attacking me personally. To me, that's not only ridiculous, but also counterproductive to making their points.
It's not a contest. It's anonymous opinions, so being "right" or "wrong" is meaningless. Message boards are all about discussions with different points of view. In the end it's up to each reader to decide who and what they believe, do whatever research they need to to figure that out and invest or not accordingly.
