I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, but could you work out a deal with an online retailer (Amazon, FamilyVideo, etc.) to include links to their products in your reviews/previews and have them pay you a small commission based on sales generated from the links?

I know you used to include links to Lik-Sang in your import coverage.  I don't know if you made any money off resulting sales, or if you just got free import games to cover for the site.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

If you were to start accepting donations, would it be feasible that forum regulars would be able to support the site, or at least help significantly?    Or is it just completely hopeless?

I purchased ad space here once back when they were still PGC, but it was a little pricey to be honest. I have contemplated advertising here again because it did work out pretty good for what I wanted the last time. But I do not think Johnny wants to deal with me again...


Maybe you could do something like Game Spot does, offer premium content for a small subscription fee or something like that? This site really does offer a lot more premium type content than the other gaming sites do for free so maybe not charge for the entire site but charge for the specials or something. I don't know just ignore me.

I asked to buy ad-space too, awhile back.  Got no response.

I'd just like to say for the record that I buy most of my games through Amazon, and if you had a partner link, I'd make extensive use of it.

Now the ads are reading my internet cookies to see where I live.

Maybe if they're replaced with more and more annoying ads, intrude more and more into my privacy, I'll be more likely to click on them!

Again, I will say that the new NWR (and the concurrent forums tweak) will make things better for everyone.  Please stick with us!

Also, I want to say that I just came up with a brilliant, ads-related idea that everyone here will get a kick out of.  This idea of mine is so brilliant that you'll wonder why we didn't do it before!  I'm not going to say what it is until I work it out with Ty, but needless to say I think you'll love it!!!

Are you going to start including clickable ads within our titles?

Sounds good. Now the only thing we need to figure out is whether the stars in the title of thread stand for "goddamn" or "fucking".. they have the same number of letters.

Is that some sort of English colloquialism or do you just generally enjoy wasting baked goods?

I have seen this one too, and we are registering a formal complaint with our ad networks.  It's much, much worse than the True ads.
