Well, it kind of was, due to a photography section..

So if I add a section for posting photos to my forums, this would be the right place to advertise it?

there was no flaming in here whatsoever

Nope! Just people going off topic, haha.

Not to come off as a dick, but you kinda had to expect it considering that you're advertising a website on someone else's website which is generally frowned upon.
