Hi everybody! This is my first post and I don't see a page for new members to introduce themselves, so allow me to do it here

My name is Charles Butler, I live in Southern California and I own CardCodeShop.com, where I deliver pre-paid game cards via email.

I want to use forums as one way of targeted marketing and I'm sure that some forums don't want anything that's remotely spammish in their community. So, I would like to ask people here who successfully use forums to market primarily for marketing purposes for tips on how to achieve this, especially on areas such as first impressions (One question is, should I use my real name? I'm not very fond of usernames when it comes to marketing, unless it's effective of course :p). I've searched the forums on here and haven't seen anything to answer this issue that I am having. Any help on this would be greatly apreciated. Thanks!
