Point 2: Yes. Absolutely. Don't do it.
Point 1: There's nothing wrong with advertising things
in the proper place. (Leaving aside actual spam, of course, which gets nuked without the merest hint of regret.) There are several subforums here which are dedicated to the discussion of gaming in general (a not-exhaustive list: Roleplaying In General, Card Games In General, Board Games In General) and discussions of non-SJG properties in those places are welcome. Additionally, tasteful, non-spammy links in signature files are usually fine, as long as they're gaming-related. (Don't advertise pr0n, even if you made it yourself. ESPECIALLY then.)
As for the delays in getting new CW material released (or old CW material uploaded to e23), I can't say what's going on because I'm not in the office. However, there's nothing sinister in a company choosing to keep tight reins on its intellectual property -- good luck going to Disney and asking them to let you sell bootleg DVDs of the movies and TV shows they're keeping off the market! -- and there's nothing sinister about a company saying, "Sorry, we have to focus our resources on something else right now." Fans have every right to be disappointed, but it would be an error to translate that disappointment into unfounded accusations about SJG and its motives.
