Title: BYOAC Rocks
Post by: RetroJames on August 18, 2004, 01:03:47 pm

As many of you know I really enjoy BYOAC, but I was wondering if we should do some kind of giveaway on the board?  Like a contest?  I saw this site the other day, http://www.gamemilitia.com/
that gives away everything from tshirts to console systems.  I am not fond of the format, but it would be neat to have a BYOAC sweepstakes or something.

This doesn't seem to mesh with the purpose of BYOAC.  We are not out to attact people to the site.  This not a business who's intent is to marketing to its users (besides Saint's book  ;D).  So I really don't see a reason why we should do this.  I'm not saying I don't want free swag, but it just doesn't make sense...who would pay for it all?

Well the point being, in order for BYOAC to have giveaways, someone needs to poney up the money or merchendise.  Since BYOAC is not in the "for profit" business (except for saint's book like I mentioned earlier  ;D) then its not a smart thing to do unless someone here has deep pockets and doesn't ming giving stuff away!
