A Call To Arms

by PPP on May 8, 2009 2:00 PM EDT in Events

Well, it's also a call to alms. This may be new to some of you that were not around last May during the playoffs. Just over a year ago SBN Hockey Megaverse Overlord James Mirtle alerted hockey fans throughout the web that a new statistics site had launched. A group of devoted hockey fans would have appreciated the excellent work behind bringing together a wealth of information under one roof. A group of devoted hockey fans with a penchant for troublemaking might find an entirely different angle on the new website:

That is the beauty one-liner you'll find on Jim Carey Price's page courtesy of Kim Jorn. Our community also managed to get our hands on our beloved Captain's page, his wannabe nemesis', the Montreal Canadiens, and the other team from Ontario (no, not Hamilton). Puck Daddy scooped up Chris Pronger and a hilarity arms race was off and running.

This is where you good folks come in. Last year it would have been impossible to accomplish this feat without the generous donations from around the interweb. This year is no different. If you want to take part in tweaking the noses of our rivals you can send money via Paypal or EMT to my e-mail pensionplanpuppets at gmail dot com. We'll keep track of our progress in the sidebar. Right now our goal is $180 so that we can renew all of the pages. Actually, we're kicking in $50 so we're looking to raise $130.

If we go over our goal there are quite a few pages still available so keep an eye on any potential targets. We're going to set the pages to link over here instead of the listing page we did previously because that's probably the best way to introduce anyone clicking through to the Barilkosphere.

Is there witty comment on the Montreal orSens pages? All I see are the stats.

Also $10 will be sent when I get to my house. PayPal fail at work.

I put google analytics on the other page and I made and I’d venture that about 5 people all year clicked through to any other site.

Huh. Cox Bloc’s sponsorship of Jiri Tlusty (definitely want that one again) and Vesa (not so much) resulted in a TORRENT of traffic on our site.

I mean, that’s how all of you guys found us, right?

Upon their expiration, all pages will be priced $100 higher or three times their standard price, whichever is less. Each day the price will be reduced by between $5 and $10 until they return to their standard price one to ten days following the expiration of the previous sponsorship. This policy will only be in effect for sponsorships a year in length.

For those of us who just discovered the internet (I hear Al Gore invented it), can you provide more detailed instructions on how to use Paypal or EMT.

by lb71 on May 8, 2009 2:48 PM EDT reply actions

EMT = E-mail money transfer so if you have online banking you can use that.
Paypal requires you to open an account but it’s pretty useful.
