We have similar deals with other companies. If we put together a small list (like walmart.com, bhphoto.com, etc.) would people be willing to use those links as we get a similar cut on those? Amazon is just the easiest but I can put together a list and it would definitely help us out if people...

Correct. It's free for them and gives us like a 1% cut.

Yes, we get a small cut if you use that link and it helps us cover the costs to run the site. So, pretty much anytime I buy anything from Amazon I click that link and then make my purchase. It helps us, so we appreciate anyone that uses it.

If you need garage tiles now is the time to do it. Been researching it for a while, cheapest I could find was at Home Depot for around $2.92/sq. ft. Fast Life is running a promotion right now, BOGO... I ended up ordering 1600 sq. ft. for my new house... if you use my link we get some affiliate...

See what URL you are using to view the page initially... if your bookmark for example is to US Message Board 🦅 -- your cookies won't work properly on the full URL which is US Message Board 🦅 Essentially the non www vs www.

I only need one:

It's a great lesson to leave up for future people to not jump to conclusions here so quickly. I mean, seriously... it's out of control on here sometimes.

Twitter may block embedding externally.... they may eventually do it to the video that is now working here but we aren't doing anything on our side. I can't tell you how their system works, I can only tell you no one is blocking it here.

Nope, neither one are blocked LOL. As I said before. You notice your Twitter embed numbers are different right? 1964300554592489869 vs 1964173743024197698

No one blocked anything, no moderators here. Twitter blocked it apparently. The embed here is unmodified. Take your conspiracy theories elsewhere, good god.

It is impossible to moderate a political site without people complaining. Despite the fact that I've never made a single political post here, nor do I do a single moderation action, I am bombarded by complaints from people that I'm either too far to the left, or too far to the right. It doesn't...

How has it been the past 24 hours or so? I noticed the guests have dropped WAY down and we've done some additional optimizing.

We may simply have to upgrade the server. The problem with that is the site simply loses money. It costs more to run than it makes, and that doesn't include the time of anyone -- not the mods, not the admins, no one makes a cent off of this site. We've had $600 in donations and a couple hundred...

I can't find any slowness on the server. All the metrics look good.... the load is fine, there are no slow queries in the log.

You need to find out how many Kilowatt hours you are using and how much you pay per kilowatt hour. Then you need to see if someone is stealing your electricity without your knowledge. You can figure out how many KW/h you are using pretty easily and if the numbers are off you know why your bill...
