We have asked and he said they don't like us. So let's make them sit up
I like ocforums and I also buy from Newegg but I see no connection.
Basically you're signing a petition that says "All users of NewEgg should support my hobby." Joe Sixpack isn't going to pay a nickel extra so you can have a forum. He may not know much about computers but he may have a highschool diploma (many of you don't) and have a better understanding of how bills get paid. Perhaps you plan for people who click the link to pay a bit extra (for forum support purposes)?
I'm sorry but signing such a petition only marks you as someone who isn't willing to pay for your own hobby.
Donate to ocforums already! They don't survive on good-will!

It works this way, every sale that is made from clicking on the Newegg banner would give the guys that run this board a percent of the money made by Newegg.
In other words, Newegg makes more money because of that banner from people clicking it on these forums, and the guys that run this forum make money from Newegg since they are "advertising" for them.
This allows the common Joe to not HAVE to pay extra money to donate to his "hobby," instead some of the money he uses to buy parts goes to support his "hobby."

Then what about the newegg banner ads on other forums? Shouldn't that be just as bad? Besides, there are a lot of minors who don't or can't work and have no way to donate, but wish they could. Now tell me if they're not willing to pay for their hobby. I'm sorry, but if other forums can get banner ad support from newegg, so can we.

I have no problem signing the petitition, but I am waiting to see if this is something Skip wants members doing on his behalf before I do sign it.
Skip if you see this thread please post your thoughts on this.

please read the big multiple page page thread in forum comments and suggestons.
skip said he already wrote them a letter asking for sponsorship but recieved no reply.
many of us was wrote ee-mails to newegg and got replies saying that due to the # number of letters going in the head advertiser guys are still looking at all the e-mails.
would it hurt to try? even if they dont do anything would about 30sec of your time hurt? many of us have spent over 35min on composing letters the least you guys could do is type your name and click submit. its not that hard.
