In the next few days or weeks, I'm going to put some SMALL ad banners on the forums (in addition to the Recon Gamer banner which will be back soon). When I say small, I mean like 88x31 (the little buttons) or maybe a little bigger). This serves TWO PURPOSES:
1. I'm rewriting the affiliate program code for my boss and I need a site that allows me to test properly (and what better site than my own?).
2. Perhaps Massassi will earn a bit of money to reimburse me for the cost of the new forums
This came about because when the new forums showed up and started tracking views, I realized that the forums are STILL, after all these years, getting like a million page views a month (based on performance of the past couple of days). That's insane! I never realized...
Second, I finished a lot of the major projects at my job and the affiliate program needs reworking.
PLEASE NOTE: Affiliate programs work like this: If you click the link from Massassi, a cookie will be stored on your computer for a certain amount of time (in this case it's 24 hours, most affiliate programs are more like a month or 90 days). This cookie contains an "affiliate id number" which identifies MASSASSI to the other site (it doesn't identify you personally). If you then purchase something, Massassi (me since I represent Massassi) gets paid a percentage of the sale (in this case 3-5%).
It only works if you make a purchase, so don't bother clicking the links a hundred times just to help us out, because it won't help us out, QUITE THE OPPOSITE!
Please feel free to express your opinion. This is still up in the air so I may not do it if it will bother people (THE goal of massassi is not to make money).
