Upon careful consideration, I've removed all my-codes/product links from the forum. The only way now, for you to access our products is to use the store button. I am considering re-doing the forum search (it used to be useful, guess it's broken again) and as an alternative offer a "product search" field that bounces you over to our store as if you had run a search there. Thoughts?
The original reason for linking up words pertaining to our products was convenience. However I believe it will hurt our standings with google long-term as it is in a grey area with their TOS. Back when the forum was originally started, it was better to have a separate domain name for it. Now the way google works, it looks like it's better to have them on the same one. Ah well...I'd love to know your thoughts on this. Personally I enjoy having them be separate domains and am not excited about the idea of moving the forum to the store URL.
