Amazon ?

Post by marisca »

T'is the season of buying things and I was instructed to buy a book by the management so came on the falorum to log onto Amazon. Where's it gone? Doesn't Nick need the bawbees?

Ah, I remember now. It was those bloody snowflakes! I loaded an adblocker to kill them and sure enough if I look at what its blocking, there is Amazon. Let that be a lesson to you this year, Nick.

Thank you all of you that make their Amazon purchases via this site.

Every penny raised goes towards helping homeless electrons at Christmas.

I think you would be a lot better off if you stuck to sending nice messages like that instead of spending your time willie-deep in arguments about the blasted independance vote on TOP.
You might get more users, who in turn might use amazon more which in turn will fund your christmas lecterums or whatever they are

If you promise not to pollute my screen with snowflakes or anything else I'll turn off the ad-blocker and then be able to share my largesse to Amazon with you.

Same here. I didn't even know there was a click-through to Amazon and I've bought a lot there recently.

I've mentioned it often enough. I didn't realise so many people ran adblockers though.

I have doubts about the blanket running of adblockers . Fair enough for a really annoying site, but websites have to be paid for somehow.

Revenue has just about died from Amazon. I reckon it averages about £3 a month commission from clickthroughs from this site.

Anyone wanting to make a painless contribution towards the extensive revamp currently underway please feel free.

It's not what you've got, it's what you do with it.

You of all people should know that.
