and what do you think to achieve with those questions?
What possible use could you have of the answers (especially as you have no way to verify them)?

what i'm wondering is why a marketing student would think that professional marketers hang out in an "IT Professionals Lounge"
I mean, marketers dont have a technical bone in their body. they obviously wouldn't have any idea about a forum .. for ... technical ....
oh. wait. i get it now.

one of the major concepts in marketing is demographics. i.e., "understand your audience".
the problem is, that there probably aren't very many professional marketers that frequent this forum. i'd be willing to bet that there aren't any.
see what i'm getting at?
now there are some forums that have to do with internet marketing... i have no idea what goes on over there, i have zero interest in finding out. but i'm thinking perhaps you should have put your thread in one of those

sadly there are a LOT of professional marketeers here. They're all in the business of generating accounts for their spambots to flood the forums with link spam.
It's no doubt well known by now that Daniweb endorses link spam in signatures and won't do anything about it, so ever more will flock here knowing their messages won't be deleted and will turn up on Google searches for years to come.

yeah, i've been wondering about that, why that is.
it's kind of disturbing actually, and i've been avoiding thinking about the whole issue and it's ramifications. i
i enjoy participating in the forum of my programming-language-of-choice... but the fact that this whole website is really becoming such a spam relay station makes me reconsider whether i should continue to participate here at all anymore.
like, for instance, there's this rule about putting your email or website contact info in your post. it will get snipped and repeats will presumably get you warnings. Yet someone can fill their signature with emails and contact info, and that's perfectly okay?
what kind of hypocritical bullshit is that?
