short answer
Some would prefer that you send people to their site, not to the article. It might not be required to ask but its always nice to at least make an effort to ask.

longer answer
Its another good idea that got abused on the net. People used to be able to freely link to any graphic or article or animation or download file. But some people got slick at creating really fancy sites that used generated no bandwidth charges (I even used to suggest it). But some small sites got totally shut down by the hits on one graphic or file, and none of the traffic went thru their site to see their ads and stuff. Now many sites watch for things like that and block it.

I would have been happy for Nerfix to include the interview on his site with or without our permission. However, his asking was a classy and polite thing to do. Plus, now I know about a Dominions site I didn't know about before.

Welcome!
Its always nice to have the game sites represented.
Its much more fun to pick apart the articles that way.

Hi,
We (at Cyberstratege) just agreed with Nerfix posting our Dom3 interview on his site.
...and ... I'm just writing a "first hands-on preview" of Dom3 for our next issue (15th of June)
Sorry but I've to go back to Bandar-Log now

I bet you remember the name, though. Alot more interesting than "gamerd00dz.org" or something. I was scratching my head about it as well

Our wonderful name was not of my choosing. It came from a drunken IRC conversation between some of my *ahem* esteemed colleagues who thought it was funny to combine 'tactical' and 'testicular cancer'. I'm not very fond of it, but, as Morkilus pointed out, it's better than "gamerd00dz.org" or "StrategyPlace" or something else generic.

Plus, it lets us use slogans like "We'll Have Your Balls!"
