I Support this site (BYOAC) do you?

[tommyinajar]

How come no one posted any reviews (Hopefully Positive  ) on Amazon yet?
I would and will, but I just ordered it now. A couple good. honest reviews wouldn't hurt for an "attract mode"

I think the best advertising for any vendor around here are posts from other people's experiences with certain products and vendors' posts offering support for their products and posts about new products. Knowing that a product will perform in a certain way by reading about other people's experiences will make me more likely to consider that product in the future. The forums themselves are great advertising.

I agree completely.  The problem, however, is that to ensure that the site stays around to host all of this great info, the site's owner and caretakers need to be compensated for the time, effort and expense it takes to keep it going.  I am mindful of that, and as this site has been one of the few sites where I have spent a lot of time in the past ~10 years, it's great that I can give more back than just "content", while at the same time helping to sustain GroovyGameGear's operation.  So as long as that dynamic continues, I am happy to contribute through the advertisements.  Me thinks it makes Saint happy too

Orders Tallied, 173 total raised for BYOAC in Jan and Feb.

Thank you everyone for the support! Paradise Arcade and I have mutually agreed to donate the $173 to the Red Cross for earthquake disaster relief. They need it more than I do If you've been thinking of donating to this site, please instead consider a donation to the Red Cross (http://american.redcross.org/Earthquake).

Thanks!

Just bought the book with the link.
Just to let you all know I found this site with Google.  When I started building my cab I had no idea there were sites like this to help me out.  So I turned to Google for all the answers.  And here I am.  I am very new to this arcade thing but I love it, and would like to continue to help support this web site any way I can.

i just bought the book with the link!!!

i wanted to add an idea/suggestion! Dont be shy to make SURE that the support link is visible!! if it wasnt for this post , id never seen it !! the site is free and its normal to ask for support!!im not even sure who run this board but anyway, just an idea, make the link more visible!

[tommyinajar]

I agree with the opinion that you could make the support link a little more noticeable. I would have clicked the Amazon page though here a lot more, if I'd know it was there. Everyone gets a little oblivious to what is actually on their high speed internet screen without a little "flash" to draw attention. Maybe a sticky ??

I'm sure 99% of the people here wouldn't mind doing a little something to support BYOAC.

Just order a game for my daughter from this link.

I hope you are getting all these commission.

I was going to use the link but then I worried that someone here might see what I order.  What if it's a little risque or socially inappropriate??  how long before my order history is distributed across BYOAC?!??  Then I fear that when I post something Saint is peering at his screen, squinting at my post with a look of disgust, and mumbling things like "oh now it begins to make sense."  Dont judge me Saint!  DONT JUDGE ME!!11~!`~!!!!!

For what it's worth, I would see the order, but not who ordered it. I would see something like:

1 giant anatomically correct inflatable wildabeast with cleaning kit. $25. Your commission is $0.02.



Thanks again to everyone whose been supporting the site! It's much appreciated!

This raises the question- what's the most unusual/interesting thing you have received a commission from?

I ordered two other items from Amazon.com from this link.

I hope you are getting the funds.   I love amazon.com but i got hosed a few times on my affiliate account.  But i still love um.

My buddies and I are trying to get a sub culture online TV show started called Arcade Culture.  I do the website (in beta stage right now) and we are trying to sells some swag along the way to help promote and have us afford to run more of the shows.

it is an ebay auction if anyone is interested

Thanks for the support back.

Bump.

Can we get a mod to sticky this please? 

[Hoopz]

Paypal sent.  Maybe that covers some of your time recently of resetting my password multiple times....  Can we get that feature re-enabled on the forums?   

[extendedplayarcade]

I second that motion! 

Bump.
