The Geekery: an untapped market for advertisers!
« on: July 13, 2010, 05:09:07 PM »
I don't understand the current decline in advertisers in these forums. I used to enjoy reading about their products and services -- everything from hair care and cheap cigarettes to male enhancement products and the very finest in internet pornography. Where did they go? Personally, I made it a point to read each and every posted advertisement, and clicked on every link with full cookies enabled and, whenever one was offered, I always filled out forms with my real name, email, cell number, home address, personal income and name of first-born. I have purchased numerous products found on advertiser sites, and have never declined to pay for free product sent to my door. I think I speak for everyone here at the Geekery when I say THIS is the BEST internet wesbite to advertise on EVAR!

So where are y'all?

Don't you know a goldmine when you see one?

Sheesh.

No a time cube is time*time*time whereas a time share is only a fraction of time.

That's because you believe in evil ONEism.

I agree. Having my identity stolen might actually improve my financial situation at this point.

Cherubim is plural; Genesis 3:24 specifies one flaming sword. Presumably flaming swords were in short supply."
