Although the largest part of the costs the MSX Resource Center Foundation makes to host the MRC, write reviews on hardware and software, offer prizes to challenges and visit MSX fairs are donated to the foundation on a regular basis by the MRC admin team, part of these costs are covered by
donations, sales in the
MRC Webshop and income from affiliates like
eBay,
lik-sang and
Amazon.
As of
August 2004 we introduced a block with MSX auctions on
eBay on the left side of our screen, followed by a block of ads by
Google. The downside of these blocks is: they can be quite annoying. We have therefore added an option to the 'My account' section of our website, which appears as soon as you are logged in, where you can disable either one of these ad-blocks.
If you want your MRC ad-free,
join us (if you had not already done so), log in and adjust the settings in the my account section to your personal preferences. While you're at it, why don't you use one of the other privileges being a registered logged in MRC member gives you like joining the discussions on our ever growing
MSX Forum, posting reactions to
MSX News,
articles or
photoshoots, or voting on the
polls? Enjoy!
