Firstly, don't insult our gay community like that. There's nothing wrong with homosexuality, and if a homosexual wants to post in this thread, that is their right.

Alternatively, congratulations on not substituting the word troll for flamer, because they don't mean the same thing.

OT: The plans haven't been fully outlined yet. There should be different payment schemes, but none of them are finalised yet. So you'll just have to wait, I'm afraid. Until when? I have no idea. I don't think even ioi will know until it's done. But it's happening relatively soon.

Are you actually serious about this word? really now?

I originally searched Google for a picture of a Burger King Flamer Burger, but apparently, not only does that not exist, but it never existed. The first result was from Urban Dictionary, saying "homosexual", so I went with that instead.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Ugh, the way internet sites go. Well VGChartz was a smart idea, and a well built system. Whoever made this site was bound to cash in sooner or later. Sucks for me, Lamborghini for him.

Har. With the site's revenue, he needs to pay his own salary, Chris' salary and various amounts of money to different people (including myself). He needs to pay for bandwidth to keep the site running. He needs to subsidise the cost of attending conventions. He needs to pay for the costs of tracking data (because it does cost money).

He's not doing this for the hell of it, he's doing it to bring in revenue that the site needs.

Yea, but do you really need to charge the rumored $1,000 a person? That's a lot. Also, advertizing generates a substantial amount of cash. I think the site could remain afloat without subscriptions. They could at least not limit the data we had acess to for free before. I understand about charging for extras to pay for costs, but it sucks that old data is now severly limited.

Yes stocks. I've only made a few investments in the past, but I want to make bigger ones in the future. It's easy to see long before a game is released, if it will be a good quality one. Batman for instance by RockSteady studios. Had I invested in Rocksteady, I could have returned double my dollar. Apple grew 1,000 times since 2001, and I knew the ipod was going to be big. Had I invested in Apple in 2001, just $1, I would have profited $999 now. Imagine what a $1,000 investment would have made. Realistically I would have invested in Apple in 2004, but still! I think thats still a 10-50x growth (Haven't seen the chart in a while).

Aren't flamers in the forums flamboyant homosexuals? I thought I was pretty clear. It's okay to be gay, but being flamboyant about it is annoying.

LOL joking, but It is rude to be too flamboyant. Strong loud opionated people just annoy the hell out of me, be respectful.

Of course I knew what flamer meant. I just knew it could mean other things.

You'd have about $36 not $1000 if you had invested one dollar in Apple ten years ago.  After trading fees and taxes you'd probably come out with about $10.  Of course when you're actually trading decent amounts the transaction fees are more negligible.  Also if you had invested before the stock tanked in 2000 you wouldn't have recovered your initial investment for about four years.

Also I don't think Rocksteady is publicly traded.
