Could you guys please help me?

[Lord Demios]

This has nothing to do with gameboxes or hardware problems. Today I got an email asking if I would like to have TMR's page hosted on a case mod site. The site is http://www.chickshardware.com. I would have to put it under his banner, and they would do some mods to the page to allow for ads, and other things. Now I might be willing to do a stub page, one with information and pictures, but I don't know about the whole page. I need you help in telling me what you guys think about his site. I will try to get more info, but there would be some advantages of having this, and some dis-advantages.

Just need some input.

weather you go under his site or not is youe decision, it should match your goals and ideas for a web page.

About a month ago someone saw a domain i was working on as a side project, they ran a site catering to the same target audience. They offered to buy my site and integrate it into thiers for $5,000. At first i was about to jump on the opurtunity, but after looking at thier site i told them No, they were into spamming thier visitors, and using the information gathered to send them "special offers" from thier advertisers. My site upheld a strict privacy policy, and i didnt want to hand all my visitors over to them. My site probably would have jumped up a few thousand visitors a day, (not to mention the money) but i just really felt It would be better in the long run.

Humm, that is an interesting proposition to say the least. But, unless we make any money off of it(since we have all the free webhosting we need), they're the ones getting the upper hand here, and that makes the deal a little less interesting. And besides, we could use the cash to feed out UT addictions.

There is no such thing as a UT addiction. Just ask MechBgon.

I would be carefull. I have heard of some friends of mine that went threw with this type of thing. Somehow the site was sued and because they still had the rights to the site (technical deals) they where liable. They are still fighting with the lawsuit and who knows what will happen.

I would make sure you get a writen contract first before telling them yes or no.
Good luck.
