Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
We already link to Amazon in a quiet spot, and the point has been made that people forget to use the link.
Because it's in too quiet a place. I've read the FAQ many times since registering, and I can never remember that we have an Amazon link there.
Right. And so a well-placed banner ad (if need arises) would eliminate the forgetting it's there phenom.
Ummm... No one has seriously suggested pop-ups. Noumenon mentioned it as a joke, but that was it.
We got that.
Please tell me if I'm getting annoying about this, because that's not my intention, and I'll shut up.

I think, if we want to raise substantial money this way, something more obvious then the FAQ link, but less obstrusive than a banner ad could be attempted first (like a Buffiliates link). That way scores of retailers could pay us money for doing what we do anyway, instead of just Amazon, and we wouldn't need any banner ads.
Considering we're not planning on getting any, you're right. I think, for the time being, until monetary funds other than what we donate becomes necessary, the Amazon thing is a good idea if you remember, but not a pressing issue.
Again, we're getting ahead of ourselves. We have enough money in the bank for our immediate and future needs as things are currently set up. There are things that we can do technically that should allow us to maintain that status. I don't think we need to discuss schemes to raise oodles of cash until and unless our status does change.
Or what SA said. :)
It's always a pleasure to xpost with DXM.

Yes, please. I know we want to be prepared, but I think we're all good for the moment.

Fine.

I like "Buffiliates" as a term, and think a link from the left nav to such a page would be a nicely unobtrusive thing.
ita, will send.
I'm getting "page can not be displayed" notices, first when I tried to get into Natter, and then when I tried to get to the board as a whole.
it's a small point, but i spend a reasonable amount with Amazon.co.uk, so an affiliate link to that would create revenue.
