From the designer:
"Also, upon thinking about it more I think that we lose a certain level of professionalism and community-wide relevance if the sign associates with dansdeals. People might dissociate with it If they don't think DD is a thing"
Personally, I agree with guy who put together the ad to omit a link to dansdeals post. The ad itself puts forth the main message very clearly! And for somebody who mentioned to write 'paid for by...' nobody over here is looking for any credit/recognition in organizing this ad. Who's with me on omitting the link? And Leaving ad as is? (I think the guy is still making some minor final touch ups...)
