Can I start the same thread on PF and another popular site/forum ? Or is it against the rule?
I want to do this so as to increase my chance of getting good replies. I don't see much any reason why I shouldn't be allowed to do this, except for commercial reason.

If it's posted on PF first, wouldn't it be good to provide a link to it from the other forum?
