I never knew Skype didn't use the internet unless I was doing video chat.
I never knew IPTV doesn't use the internet at all.
I never knew that online gaming only affects my bandwith usage if the games are three dimensional.
LOL CRTC

Multiply that number by zero and add a thousand dollars.
not really, it's worth alot more. more like 30-40 000 usd.
Who'd buy the WBO that's not already a member?

People who want to advertise to nearly 20k people (forums can send out mass-emails), or they could just redirect the site to whatever they wanna sell
If we really wanted to, we could turn this place into a huge revenue stream, but there's all kinds of sticky legal and copyright issues that get in the way. Not to mention it was never our intention to start up a business anyway. The WBO exists as a fan-made organization for other fans to meet and play together.
A lot of established brands in the marketplace would KILL to have a successful online community and fan base like this. Like I said, the potential is there to make some serious cash from the WBO, but I really doubt it will ever happen.
Evogfx.com
This site sold for 70k (i know the guy who made it), and it has worse stats than wbo. So the potential to make HUGE money is def there.
I wouldn't pay a thing for a site that always crashes.
I just got Firefox on my USB stick and I really like it. It is a lot faster then Internet Explorer. Plus I like the nice clean feel to it. Plus it has a built in spell check so I don't make mistakes. Now I see why everyone likes it over WIE.
My grandpa is doing well. He is making a recovery. But sense my mom is at the hospital and my dad is at work I'm home alone with nothing to do.

If you want clean then use Google Chrome and besides that its faster than FF in my opinion.

I tried Google Chrome but I didn't like it. FF is fast, simple and clean. It doesn't have that bulky feeling like Google Chrome (like when you Street Fighter then play SSBB) Plus I like the fact that it has a spell check. I guess that's the reason I like going on my Wii a lot too.
I wonder what would happen if someone made a "Random Spamming" thread....
It would end up with this many posts, and alot more. Plus I doubt the mods would approve that.
It would get closed since it's against the rules to spam DUH DUH DUH

It is not even funny because we actually had such attempts at SPAM topics, dedicated to SPAM on purpose ...

I'm pretty sure a few of those were made during this past summer...
I was talking to my mom, and she might let me get a bunch of collectibles and posters for my room this summer. This is exciting for me, but yet scary at the same time. It gives me an odd feeling that when I am finished, my walls would be covered in wall scroll posters from famous games like Zelda and Mega Man X4... Not to mention my shelf would end up getting overloaded with Anime figures... it's scary because I think like that...

Take it from my own and many other's personal experience: don't do this. You will regret it later on down the road.
Like when friends come over? I guess that's why I haven't hung my poster with a pic of mini figs in bikinis...

Lol. Why did you end up regretting it?
I probably wouldn't overload on them. I would probably just purchase a few posters and maybe 2-3 figures for my shelf. For example, I would probably get like... Maybe 2 posters max. Mainly because I already have some Zelda posters. (Which I still need to frame.) And probably like 3 figures. Although I still have to decide what kind of figures I want. I would probably get the Haruhi Suzumiya figure I posted the other day. For the other two I'm not exactly sure... I really wanna get a Death Note Figure. But, I'm not sure if they make any. I have seen Chibi figures of Light and L. But I really want a serious one where it shows Light and L back-to-back. With Light holding the Death Note open, and L tilting his head back to try and see. It would be a dream come true if they made those... I'm not really sure for the third one. It would probably be either Full Metal Alchemist (Ed and Al) or Lucky Star. (Konata) An FMA one sounds a bit better though. (More serious)

Mini figs of what? Why would you even buy that? Just put it in a frame and hang it by a nail. When you plan on a friend coming over, take it down and put it in your closet facing the wall...
Wouldn't SPAM topics distract from actual topics? (In the good way.)
-heart-
The only reason I have 2 posters in my room (both DBZ 
) is because they have a frame. I suggest you get cheap picture frames, because they make posters look so much nicer, and there's less garbage (hardware, staples, etc.) on your wall.
Edit: ahah, read your full post now. Just make sure you put ones that you really won't regret. And keep them to a minimal
@ Dan- you mean the spam topics make the good ones move down faster and not get posted in as often?
If so, then yep, I noticed that too. I see a good topic, and it's gone in a day or two.
Or do you mean that people post in the spam ones more than the good ones?

Well of course I would keep them to a minimal. If I get too many than I would look like an insane Anime/Video Game Otaku. Even though I am one. (Without the Insane part)
Besides, I gotta have money for frames too...
@My twin for another mother
I bought the poster of the mini fig girls because it came with a Project Revolution poster that had Konata, the frogs from SGT. Frog and other cool stuff.
I would like a FMA mini fig. It would be pretty cool. Once I start holding Beyblade tournaments a lot with my friend I will get a lot of money. Then I will buy a Haruhi Mini fig. I want one of her in a bikini (not because I'm a perv...), in a bunny girl outfit playing a guitar and one of her in her school outfit. I also would Like a Haruhi poster or a SGT. From poster. And maybe if I get into FMA a little more a FMA poster. And I will probably get get some more Lucky Star mini figs.
put your bikini figures on a shelf directly opposite to the door
you will thank me later

I don't have any
They are on a poster on the back of my other poster (it is in a plastic thing that has cardboard on it)
