The site is all new, but the names of the forums are largely the same ... aside from the addition of the niche categories. You'll even find that nearly all the old posts are intact.
The only major difference is we have a JV Offer submission wizard to post to the JV Announcement categories instead of the standard posting method simply due to us wanting the posts to be more uniform ... and stop folks from using tons of graphics, colors and over sized fonts to make their posts stand out. We also have an iFrame now, so no need to link off the site. If you read the JV Offer Wizard instructions, which are step by step ... you'll see that you can include your JV Page link in your JV letter as often as you like, using the appropriate code. One link is always included, automatically, at the bottom of each JV letter ... as long as you've submitted your JV page.
As far as your offer is concerned ... are you looking for JV Partners, or prospective customers?
If you're looking for JV Partners to give free access to in return for their feedback and possible promotional support when you launch ... I imagine it would be within terms to announce it in the appropriate JV Offer category.
