Woooooo hoooooo! Does this mean we've hit the big time?

It's for a movie called Dragon Wars and you'll see it on the left underneath the banner. Hopefully they like the results from it and decide that this is a good place to advertise. Any way, just thought I'd share this little success since you guys have help make this an awesome community. A few more of these and I can ask my tech buddies to help me with a site redesign. I was going to do a donation drive later this year (I probably only need about $500 or so), but if I can get the ads, that will help. Course this one is worth about $70 total.

The other ad below it is google ad sense and that really brings in hardly anything at all.

Sell out! (none / 0)

Now we're just like every other fan website/rock band on earth ;). Advertising is definitely a good idea. You should be rollin in the doe (is that a doe yet?) sonner than I can pronounce shcmalterfragelistivanpoopistenheimerist.

All for the greater good. (none / 0)

If putting a few tasteful or entertaining adverts generates the funds needed to keep the site up to date, then I think it is all well worth it.
This is all for good entertainment and fun. As long as adverts don't run into the obserd, like:
Herbal Enhancements
Toilet Gadgets
Caffeine Elixirs
Etc...
Just keep it to games and entertainment, and it will all be for the "Greater Good".
Congrats Papi and welcome to the big show!
Cheers,

Ready to finish all the Fights!

That's good to hear Papi, I know I really enjoy the site very much, I check it out everyday. Hopefully the ads start pouring in now :)

If I have any money (none / 0)

at the end of the year (which I doubt) I will without a doubt (lawls) donate to the site. After all, I basically formed my LIVE Reputation from this site. And as I always say, I've met so many different Persona's just from this site.

Great to hear! (none / 0)

I would gladly donate to help the site out. It might not be much but I would be willing to help out in any way I can.
Keep up the great work Papi. Hard work and devotion will pay of in the end.

  I check up on the movie and it actually sounds and looks pretty sweet! If the final previews look good enough it might be something that is actually worth seeing...maybe...
