Firstly, Aardvarks? I know you are wondering, "Aardvarks, what the hell does that have to do with anything?" In a word, "nothing." But it started with the letter "A" and we found it a mildly amusing instance of alliteration. So, to recap, this has nothing to do with Aardvarks, unless you are an Aardvark and then, we welcome you and trust our little attempt at humour has brightened your day and have one question to ask you:
"Why the double 'a?' Was it the cool thing to do or did your mom and dad saddle you with it and now it's stuck?"
Let us know.
Moving on. It's true, we do accept your hard earned cash in exchange for placement of your advertising material on our site. Unless otherwise noted, all advertisements will appear on all pages of the site. Spewgilist.com is coordinating the majority of advertisements through ProjectWonderful.com, please visit the Project Wonderful site to open your account and bid on Spewgilist.com advertising. Clicking on the footer areas in our ads will take you to the site.
Specific and exclusive arrangements can be made for advertisements on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us for additional information.
All questions should be directed to Marketing@Spewgilist.com
And this is the disclaimer where we state that while we accept advertising through Project Wonderful, we do not, in any way, endorse anyone who may advertise on Spewgilist.com through Project Wonderful. If you find a particular advertisement offensive or misleading, please take it up with the folks at Project Wonderful as they have strict policies on this sort of thing and will bounce advertisers who violate the terms of service.
And then there's AdBrite. Look them up if you want, we won't even provide the normal link as a courtesy. We've modified the setting for our account with AdBrite to severely restrict the type of ads that get displayed. Apparently the "Include all available ads (but never adult ads)" setting includes advertisements for people who are 17.999 years old.
Spewgilist.com attempts to remain a PG-13 site. We may occasionally slip in language in our blogs that violates this and we will certainly review products and sites that are not PG-13, but we recommend this site to the general populace and there are enough sites out there trying to be relevant through soft-core pornography.
We are not one of them.
So AdBrite has been severely restricted and may get booted entirely, depending on what the current "Limit to family-friendliest ads only" setting show us.
Lastly, to answer the question:
"Can I donate to Spewgilist.com?"
The answer is:
"No."
If you want to write for us, provide artwork, are a company dealing in geek related culture and want us to review your product, we are only to happy to contact you and make the required arrangements. If you want to trade cash for advertising space, Wonderful. If you're looking to start the next big geek culture resource site and want to buy us out - hey now, give us a call. But we are not a charity, a fan-site, a gaming clan, etc. and we don't accept donations.
Think of us as the New York Times of the geek world. It may not be true, but we appreciate the comparison.
