How to Support Seriously! Seriously! moved from the Gamespy Network in May of 2002, and has served hundreds of thousands of Serious Sam fans the information, files, and everything else they desired without cumbersome advertisements, wait lines, or unreasonable censorship. The only advertising we have ever run, and will ever run, has been the standard 468x60 banner at the top of every page. A portion of purchases made through these banners goes back to the costs of running the site at no extra cost. We're constantly trying to get out of the red and break even, hopefully even turn a profit which we can use to further improve the site and our audience's experience at Seriously!, but we cannot do that without your help. The following is a list of ways in which you can help support the costs of Seriously! Donate: Are you the kind of person that just likes to give money to help support services that you find valuable? Do you feel that what goes around comes around? Are you just a plain old nice person? If you answered 'yes' to any of these, or even if you answered 'no' to all of them, your donations are always welcome. Whether it's a small amount of $3 per month, or a huge payment of $8,000,000 (yea, right...), every little bit helps! You can donate online through PayPal by clicking the following button and following the instructions: If you can, we would prefer that you subscribe to a monthly payment plan. You can choose from a monthly donation of $5, $10, $20, $30, $40, $50, or $100, and may cancel your monthly payments at any time. All of the money you give will go straight back into the costs of running Seriously! Please include your name, email address, and forum username so we can thank you! Purchase through our banners: Chances are you likely purchase most of the items we advertise through our banners anyway, so why not order online via one of our advertisements and help out your favorite gaming website? What? We're not your favorite? Oh well, help out your most hated gaming website. Either way, it isn't hard at all, and if you don't want to refresh the page hundreds of times looking for that banner we have a full list of advertisers for you to look through and pick the one that suits you best. We even have some European-based companies in there that specialize in getting you the hottest American releases, before they're out in Europe!
