We could have a separate links page to dozens of stores that offer kickbacks.
I think there's value in just having one, and having it all over. Me, I'd never go to a separate links page.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The money'd be nice but...
Ah well. I have Amazon issues. Despite the fact that I have on occasion fallen off the wagon and gone there for various things, the idea of promoting them (or encouraging our people to patronize them) sticks in my craw a little. I know we've had those links there, but moving them up front or spreading them around the board would bother me. Maybe that's just me, though.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'd take a fork in my neck if it'd help us with the rainy day dedicated server fund.
We can talk about keeping up appearances at PF when the board goes down, you know?

Let's think about the advertising thing pretty hard. I'd be averse at first blush, but not if we face impending doom.
And thanks, ita, received.

Well, I think ultimately any income we get from the Amazon link will not be that significant, especially if we (Worst Case) have to switch to dedicated.
As far as that goes, I'm ready not only to chip in my $24 and the $24 for several other people if we need to raise $2,400 for a dedicated server for a year, but to also get up next to Allyson and raffle off tickets to people who want to see the two of us get forks in the neck.

Is there a raffle for who gets to do the sticking?

Have you been wanting to fork me in the neck for a while, and are just now getting the chance to vent these feelings, Cindy?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I think we're getting a little ahead of ourselves. Can we please wait until Kristen finds out just how we're doing with FanGeek since we did the fixes and changed servers before we start figuring out how to obtain a lot of money that we may not need?

Sorry, DX. I wasn't breaking out my checkbook just yet, but I wanted to let peeps know that I'm prepared to do so.
You just don't want to see Allyson or I get a fork in the neck, do you? That's so sweet.

(Only because I am dead to you, and then you could be dead to me, too. We'd be twins!)
