Like arcade racing games?

If you watch the movie at the top of the kick starter page, you'll see a segment of me endorsing these kids on their project.
Even if you only give them a buck, please take the time to show them some support.
If you have an extra ten grand shaking around, that arcade cabinet looks pretty sweet though, too!

Have you tried not commenting on things you don't understand?

That might require going outside, or worse, sweating.

Show me a car wash that raises $125k, and I'll show you people who should probably be doing it for a business.

I'm pretty sure this solicitation is outside of what is allowed in the regular WoV forum. I expect the Moderator to move/remove it.
I backed these guys with $150 because I think they're awesome guys and doing a great project and deserve some financial support. If I could afford to back them with ten grand I would. The reason I thought to post up here is because I thought with so many big-money gamblers who post on here, somebody might want to back them with $1,000 to $10,000. These kids certainly deserve it.
But if the "solicitation" is against the rules, I apologize for breaking the rules .. AGAIN. At least know that I'm not making any money here, just trying to support these guys.

AHigh is an established Member, and it's not for him, so I'm going to allow it, but I'm moving it to the Kiosk.

The Kiosk is for your Vegas based business. Note the words your and Vegas.
These are the Wizard's words. He also says that he will remove anything that has nothing to do with Vegas.
Has he been overruled?
Quote: avargovPosts like this are exactly why I have been staying away from the forum. Other than for reading material while in the restroom. I hope the kids get the backing they need.
My post has nothing to do with the kids. I too hope they get their money.
Enjoy your time in the restroom!
I will leave this quote for the intellectuals who are offended by such an off-topic post intending to be altruistic towards those who I appreciate their efforts at making the world more entertaining:
Quote: Thomas SowellIt may be expecting too much to expect most intellectuals to have common sense, when their whole life is based on their being uncommon -- that is, saying things that are different from what everyone else is saying. There is only so much genuine originality in anyone. After that, being uncommon means indulging in pointless eccentricities or clever attempts to mock or shock.
My point being that the biggest disappointment that _I_ have with this forum is that it is filled with too many intellectuals mocking each other and does not have enough entertainment beyond that sort of pointless drivel.
I live in Las Vegas and I make it my business to help other people and I charge nothing at all for it, but it's still my business.
Quote: AhighI'm a little bit confused, but whatever.

Thomas Sowell once argued against funding special education classes by saying his son didn't talk because he didn't want to talk. That guy is the wrong one to use to convince me of anything, honestly.

For what it's worth, I wasn't trying to convince you, FarFromVegas. I hadn't even contemplated you or your opinion. I was trying to make a point about the overall board having an issue with petty disagreements and mockery, for which you provided another excellent example.
And as far as the quote, I'm not supporting the guy, nor do I know as much about him as you apparently know. But the quote is particularly applicable to the activities that occur on a daily basis on this forum that are quite counterproductive and downright annoying. Especially as it relates to mockery.

So good luck with your fundraising, then!
decided to make a commercial post for some pet project in which they had taken an interest?
D you suppose that would be annoying?

What if 50 out of 5000 continuously started diverging conversations on each and every thread ridiculing one another creating so much noise that 3500 of the members never visited?

Quote: Da' RulesThe punishment for violating these rules will be meted out on a case by case basis. Options include a warning, temporary ban, and permanent ban.
AHigh,
Given that you are an established Member of the WoV Forum, and that I find this advertisement non-pervasive and also not for your personal interests, I am hereby giving you a public Warning that you will suffer a temporary ban should you post any more solicitous materials, even if they be for a cause in which you do not profit, unless they are YOUR business interests and are Vegas-Related. Even in this event, they must be posted, initially, in the Kiosk.
However, despite this Warning, the thread will be allowed to remain as it has already gone two pages and clearly generated discussion.
Finally, this thread will be moved to Off-Topic.

Thanks for the warning, I had no idea I was breaking rules and I apologize. Just trying to do good things for other people is all I had in mind.
