    Fxds reacted to LinusTech in FIRST BLOOD - Linus Tech Tips Forum Badges Now Available   
    Special Note: If you forgot to put your forum username in the PayPal notes, please PM Slick to get things sorted out!
     
    Special Note: The Pink badge has sold out!
     
    NOW CLOSED
     
    This forum (and for that matter the entire Linus Media Group operation) is not free to run. Many users/viewers recognize this and I've been asked many many times if Linus Tech Tips accepts donations or if we have a "tip jar" or anything like that and the answer has always been "No."
     
    Today all of that changes! We are proud to introduce the exclusive (one-time-only) "First Blood" forum badges (they will be resized and the name will be changed to "pins" later). These will be available to appear next to your posts permanently, and they will ONLY be available to purchase for one month. 
     
    You can contribute however much you want, but First Blood badges will be available in three different colours to indicate the minimum contribution level that was achieved
     

     
    Bronze - $10 (unlimited available)
    Silver - $25 (unlimited available)
    Gold - $50 (unlimited available)
    Pink - $500 (hand-drawn by Linus in mspaint, includes your name as a call-out on a LinusTechTips video, and we'll send you a video of Linus hand-making it to do whatever you want with (1 available. First come, first served) THE PINK BADGE IS SOLD OUT
     
    Click the PayPal "donate" button on the top right of the forum home page to submit your contribution and...
     
    PLEASE don't forget to include your forum username in the PayPal checkout so that we can add the appropriate tier badge to your account!
     

     
    Now if you don't have the money to contribute for a First Blood badge, if you don't feel like it, or if you just plain don't think we deserve it, we've got you covered! Unless something catastrophic happens Linus Tech Tips Forum membership will always be FREE! Furthermore, badges will not unlock any extra forum functionality at this time, and are simply a prestige item to add to your account.
     
    So while First Blood badges will only be available for a limited time, we will have other campaigns in the future, and there will always be opportunities to earn badges by contributing to the forum in other ways (such as joining our Folding@Home team).
     
    Thanks for reading, and thank you in advance to everyone who decides to contribute to helping us make this awesome community possible, whether it's through a monetary contribution, by lending your insight and wisdom to the forum with your posts, or even by lending a sympathetic ear to another member. We are grateful to you all.

    I think it will work, as long as you've got the latest drivers installed. (And if it gives compatibility issues, just remove it or replace it.)

    As long as you don't use the skimwords feature of skimlinks, I don't see the harm.

    EA doesn't make bad games, they just make bad decisions when they try to milk those good games for more money.
