The language used in the post was very nice. So that's a yes vote. Also, 53 to 1 seems overwhelmingly positive

I am good at computer

Yes! There should be way that when you contribute a certain amount you should get a thank you banner.

 

This is cool. I want to play around with the idea of making some graphics for this.

 

Good luck guys!

So long as the site gets a new top banner after the campaign is over to replace the old one, I see nothing objectionable. The new banner will help usher in a new era for LMG, plus, the old one is too crowded and incomplete IMO.

Why the hell wouldn't you? I'd donate except I'm so broke that all I could send would be bits of string of varying lengths....

A little(not the actual size) banner at the top shouldn't hinder anyone in any way. So with that said I guess I'm all for it and so are 77 other people.

I voted yes. Knock yourselves out with this campaign.

In return, I expect you to get a good office with ample room for ALL that tech stuff you have there.

I still cringe thinking back of the LTT office tour video where Linus walks up the stairs and

stumbles upon a nvidia quadro just laying bare on some cardbox  :blink:

Go for it, if it will help you lot get more donations, then I'm all for it happening. But one of the days can you please put a spoof advert appearance there instead, so it looks like one of the ones @terrytek mentioned, even though it isn't.

Go for it! You guys deserve any help you can get. The fact that you felt the need to ask your community before you did anything is awesome and proves that you deserve it.

What is this?

As you may or may not have heard, we are moving to a new office very very soon! This is extremely exciting for all of us, as it means that we will have the space to put together amazing sets for our current shows as well as any shows that may come in the future. It also gives us the space to pick up some new team members here at LMG, something that we are pretty much out of in our current office...

 

Over the next month and a bit, we will be running a crowdfunding campaign through the forum to help supplement our moving expenses and renovation costs. There will be some very cool contributor rewards and quite a few awesome stretch goals (more info on those soon :D :D).

 

Now, many moons ago when the forum was but a wee discussion board, we promised that we would never add a top banner ad to our site. We know that many of you guys appreciate that, and we never plan to accept payment for a top banner spot on our forum.

However, with your approval, we would love to be able to advertise our own crowdfunding campaign in the top banner spot. Obviously our dedicated community members will find out about the campaign either way, but casual visitors might not see it unless it is prominently displayed in a spot like the top banner.

So please answer the poll and leave your thoughts down below. Can we add a top banner for our own campaign? Would we be going against our word to do so even though it's for our own campaign with no third party involved?

 

Rest assured, we won't be adding a top banner ad for our crowdfunding campaign unless there is an immensely positive response to this poll.

Thanks everyone!

-Nick

Hi @nicklmg, any chance we can see a mock-up of what it would look like (Even a vague resemblance?)

 

I'm all for it, but I'm still kind of curious how it would "fit" into the top spot.
