Pardon me..
Mind if I ask..how much in kind did they pay? And Costello quitted? So sad...
It's a great site with lots of information (think of the bandwidth and database size...) *mind boggling*
Anyway, it's a great site (GBATemp) where I've learnt alot of things about the console and scene.

We're a large community, but our purpose is not to make money (unlike Maxconsole, I would imagine), has never been and will never be. We are independent and hope to remain for as long as possible.

Well... for a big deal like this one ( Gbatemp to Cnet ) , only 6 days to put in place all measures, it's a little short, no ?

Common people!!!!!!!

April Fool's!!!

- The first letter from the names of the new gbatemp mods spell out "April"
- The CNET banner ad doesn't lead to a genuine sponser website
- gbatemp also posted a gag about R4's v1.18 kernel
- gbatemp also has that fake Golden Sun ROM info

QUOTEAlso, nothing at the CNET Networks Entertainment bar will link us directly over to GBATemp, and their bar scrolls with the page, instead of fixed at the top of the page.

The one in the portal? Sorry to say this, but that ad does indeed go somewhere.

I for one click through each of the sponsers on the main page everyday thinking it might generate alittle bit of money for this site which asks for nothing but its subscribers to not spam rom sites and such...

Does this actually help the site? I'm not asking how much they get at all, I'm asking if they do indeed get some sort of click-thru income for us just going to the site...or do we need to make a purchace? Or roam the said site?

And does this click-thru income generate only once a day, per IP (or is it determined some other way)? IE. I bet they don't pay you if I went back and forth many times within the same day...

Just trying to figure out the best way to give back to a good community.

Yes, the moderators masturbate for money.

I'm around 98% sure that those sponsors are just affiliate type payments.... GBAtemp will get something if you purchase something from one of the sites but not for clicks. GBAtemp has never had adverts =)
