Well, formally, we as a community fulfilled only half of our obligations, so half of the funds were redirected to Altcointalk. While BC compensated for the missing part of the fund. In fact, I would not have been looking for a new sponsor if the forum admin had not made changes to the rules in which he added a footnote about sponsorship. But I’m glad that I was smart enough to find an alternate airfield in advance.
I don't know the answer to this question yet. Our agreement meant that the name of the thread would include the name of their brand during the season. I won't rename the thread... but I figure that if one of the moderators does, I'll probably have to make an adjustment for the number of rounds in which UniJoin advertising appeared.
It's not allowed for mixers to do giveaways, sponsorships, bounties, paid posts, or paid ads in posts. If a thread is for paying people to do something for a mixer, then that's also not allowed. †
