Go advertise somewhere else then? If your goal isnt to poach members why does it feel like you are? Yes you state that your not but really cmon now there is no other reason to advertise here.
We're "advertising" here in the sense that we've given a notice that the development exists, that we're looking for those who might be interested in working on a new project, and that we want to get feedback from people who have played a similar mod in the past and present, as they'd know better than anyone what works and what doesn't from their point of view.

You're not going to make any of us feel bad for working on a project we're passionate about, and sharing it with people who might be interested in its development. Discovery is, for better or for worse, one of the few remaining Freelancer communities, and probably the only one with significant traffic remaining. To not give them at least a brief notice for interest's sake and ask for suggestions and feedback would essentially be game design suicide. If, however, you believe Discovery is fragile enough that the mere suggestion of an alternative is enough to warrant accusations of "betrayal", then I suppose your line of thinking is justified.
