A Public Appeal


 

We are soon entering our 2nd full year online, and I want to take a moment to ask you for your help in continuing our mission. FvNation is facing new challenges and encountering new opportunities, and both are going to require a little bit of help.

We have evolved and grew from the early days, to go from being a semi crappy BlogSpot with an awesome chat, to become an actual dotcom site with a more awesome chat, and a dedicated group of site users and visitors.  On almost every occurrence, if there is new news about the farm game, we have it first.  We had a staff here that are some of the most experienced and knowing farmers around.  But life has taken some of them away, and I am happy for things going well in their life.  We have seen a few times the amount of traffic has actually knocked the site offline for a short time.  We are hoping that with the help of our user base we can expand our growth more, and increase our sphere of influence in the Farmville world.

Here is a few things you can do to help us, if so inclined.

  1. Donations via Paypal, (the button is to the right in the sidebar), If you donate, you will get a reward.
  2. This technically could be 1a, but if you don't like Paypal (like a number of folks), You can go to www.fvnation.com/2011/10/wanna-mail-bob-some-love-or-beef-jerky-etc/
  3. Whenever you are gonna purchase something from Amazon.com, come to our site, and use the Amazon search box in the sidebar to search, we get a small bit of fund from Amazon for this.  Same goes for the Ebay Search box.
  4. Tell Your farmer friends about our site.  Word of mouth is a great thing. 
  5. If You haven't yet, like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/farmvillenation
  6. Just keep visiting. 
  7. If you have a product or website or any sort of thing you want to advertise, use the contact form and shout us a message.
  8. Comment on posts, and Share our Posts.  We enjoy the interaction with you folks on the comment pages.

Basically the more help, the more growth, the more growth the more giving back we can do.  We already run a huge number of contests, and have many player help programs that are in some use in the chat.  Also at some point a refine of the Farmer To Farmer program is coming, since it was a huge headache and not a success. Granted due to the offer of Luv Ewes a few awesome folks became part of the family.

We can't promise that we will make you the greatest farmer ever, but we sure can give you a laugh, teach you some stuff, and if you take advantage of all we have to offer, we will improve your farm experience and you'll make some new friends.

Thanks to Wikipedia for the idea, They want 16 Million, We'll be happy with a few bucks to pay for some dinner and some new visitors.  (but if you just have your heart on sending a bucket of money, None of us will turn it away) 

We hope as we roll into our 2nd full year of being something, that it'll be much like a snowball, going down hill, and not melting on the surface of the sun.  Pretty warm out there on the sun.

Bob.
