Wow, I can't believe it's been a year (http://www.golfhos.com/topic-3.html).  [sm_shock]
 [sm_beertoast]

wow, could have fooled me.  well, i averaged over 1k posts a month.  I should have figured that out.
 [sm_devil] [sm_shock] :sad3:

And to think, you're still gainfully employed.  :D

But don't go changing, Asker! ;D

Happy Anniversary everyone!   [sm_buddies]

w00t!  Very kewl indeed!  There have been so many great threads over this past year, too.  Quite the nice little place you've got going, dystopia!

I did notice that it's been quickly approaching a year for me being here, and I can't believe how fast the time has gone.

Had to bring out some smileys.

Cool [sm_beertoast] [sm_buddies]

Damn. Another year of my life gone by with nothing to show for it.  :sad3:

Happy Anniversary Golfhos!  Here's to many more fun years.    [sm_drink] 

Yeah, but what has stroh done for me lately?  [sm_devil]

I true golfhos fashion I think I'll threadjack this baby.


Spacey:  Saw you got the okay on the bike.  Does that mean no baby in your near future?  Remember seeing something about your wife and her biological clock ticking and what not. 

and did you get the ok for a nice new home theater yet ?

Don't bother him. He's either vacuuming or working on his pecs right now.

Nope, I just managed to effectively compartmentalize the two concepts in her mind, at least theoretically. We'll see how it works out in real life.


No real effort put forth on that front. With no cable/satellite and a plain old 36" CRT, I feel like the few hours of TV I watch per week is already too many, so it's honestly not a high priority for me.


And they're magnificent.

Good times

Agreed.

 Congrat.s dystopia.  success! 

To all my Ho friends, Cheers!   [sm_beertoast]

It's been a great year.  (albeit wasted, and taken me farther down the disconnect from society like spacey alluded too, but fun none the less.)

Society's not all that.  Think about the people that are in it.  You want to be associated with them?

I prefer sitting back under a toadstool and watching the midges play in the sun.  Or posting here.  Whatever.

Just some coinkidink, my middle son's birthday is today also. I will now be torn as to which to celebrate for years to come.

Kewl, congrats. 8)

woohoo.... where's the party at?

 ;D

Clearly the success is due to flawless moderation.

Moderation is for monks.

there is a fine line between flawless and nonexistent. Or am I thinking of insanity and genius. Either way it works.

almost a spuzzworthy place to hang out :-X

Ouch.

Don't be trashing the spuzz.  Love the spuzz.   :fear:

what is a spuzz ?
 [sm_dontknow]

it's all good :P

A rum fellow for a slippery divil.

Dys., after 1 year, what's in the Google fund coffer?  We gotta be up to like a buck two eighty five.

We've had some improvements.  We've averaging approx. $1/day this month, which about covers the hosting.

My ideas for getting enough ad money to fund demo clubs to pass around seem a long way off, but I bet we'll be able to have a nice prize for a contest at the end of the year.

I'd estimate approx 50 cents/day is from ad impressions and the rest is from the clicks, which vary each day but average out to another 50 cents.  Image ads generally pay more per impression, but they can get annoying, so I've been sticking with text ads.

That reminds me, there's another company I've been meaning to try out for sponsored links for the lurkers, I need to test it out and see how it goes.

How does this work? Do you make money when we click these links or is it just based on impressions?

Both.  Some of the ads will pay a small amount per impression.  Others need a clickthrough to generate anything.

I tell ya, I get no respect.

You want the truth?

Well, now. Wouldn't be prudent.

Adrian!

Peterson for MVP! ;D

Chilly needs to let him play a whole game first.  If he wins by only play the first half of games all season, that would be impressive.

No kidding. [sm_banghead]

I'll second that!
