We do allow users to mention other sites by way of a recommendation or if useful for a particular discussion - but we generally will remove posts or threads if it looks to us like attempt to promote something, which in this case it was. The thread was started by a new user, with the purpose to drive traffic to the site - so we removed it.

Hello there - we don't allow people to spam or use the boards to promote their site/product, etc. The first line of the first thread we deleted was: "Hi everyone! We'd just like to draw the attention of all you lovely FWR contributors to a new website," which is pretty clear promotion and was reported many times.

There are a couple of threads already discussing the issues concerned - we're not silencing anyone, we just don't want spam.
