Read on if your planning on buying some parts (Us only!)

It costs money to run this site. That shouldn't be a secret. We are using a premium license and a dedicated server, and can always use the help.

We do not want donations however, we feel that if you have money to donate or spend, spend it on something you'll enjoy and get some use out of. We have a affiliation with Amazon (US) that allows you to go to their site via our link, buy something, and we receive a small percentage of their profits. You do not spend anything extra, your help us out, and you get something in return for yourself. It's a win all around.

So if you're looking at parts, or it's time to upgrade, don't forget us. Even though its a small amount (1-2%) of your order, every little bit counts. Thanks.

Here is the link.

Otherwise if you're not buying PC parts, save that money for gems! Support ANet instead, which is what we all want to do and certainly is the best option.

Very interested in this but there are other ways you guys can make money off of your client base where as they don't have to pay anything and neither do you. There is a thing you can set up so any links on your forum will automatically become adfly links under your adfly account. This is a great, cheap but effective way, to give the users a chance to give back to the community. Still, I really enjoy the idea of the parts on Amazon. Thanks a lot for making this available.

I don't know about Adf.ly. Personally I get annoyed whenever I come across Adf.ly links. Maybe a better alternative would be to use PopUnderAds. This would not get in the way of anyone's browsing. It's only when you exit that you see the ad. btw why the restriction on US residents? I am sure people who don't live in the US can also buy from Amazon. btw what is gems and the connection with ANet?

I would be glad to help you out. I'll be using this link if i'm interested in buying something in amazon. I'm not in europe, so if i order something from the US amazon i will be paying a lot more when the item i've purchased reaches here. Do you have a link to amazon.co.uk ?

 

By the way, i also don't like the idea of using adf.ly. Everytime i see an adf.ly i feel like i don't wanna click on it.

I would like to suggest setting up an Amazon store. You can choose products which are related to this niche. There are lots of products in this niche which are sold on Amazon. This way the members here will have a better shopping experience. There's one other possible source of income. I have found some online stores dealing in thumbdrives. There are hundreds of designs. I think anyone using a computer would, at one time or another, need to buy a thumbdrive. If you sell thumbdrives, there's a good chance some members will buy.
