Default sell out jimmy

Forgive my "sell out" but I have been adding a few lil ad's on the site recently. Every little helps and even if I can get a memory card or something for my camera its a lot more than I get right now - which is around about nothing.

I'm trying to make them as unobtrusive as possible. If you want to support the site the consider visiting a link that interests you, if you want. I can one day save all those thousandths of a penny to buy a lens cap or something.


Again, forgive my selling out! :jimmeh

Default i would do the same!

just to let you know i would do the same if i was in need of cash, running a non profitable site sometimes needs a little something back! just as long as the site keeps running I'm happy!

I'll donate £100 jimmy. The expertise I've got just from the boards and John really helps alot (sorry John, I know I'm a pain in the arse!!) are really worth it.

Cash or chq are ok, just let me know.

Stu

*edit* paypal works too !!

Hi Stu I've sent ya a PM, not sure what to say !


I want to do the best job possible and I do put an insane number of hours into it all, sometimes I wonder why and I've yet to come up with an answer

I used to do a lot of stickers and Tshirts etc, things like that. It got to a point I was getting asked by shops to stock stuff. But I chose to do reviews instead in my limited time and so instead of making money, I'm spending it. hence the need to try and get some advertising or some other way of keeping "it" going.
I do feel like a sell out scum bag, it's not ideal but I'll try to make it as unobtrusive as possible.

just a quicky jimmy why not make a elite member ship, offering early access to reviews etc and a few privileges, and charge a member ship fee for it ,vb is set up already to do that loads will join up for a moderate fee
