A new website... and sponsors?



Ok, ok, someone tell the dumb jarhead to stop trying to share every single
website he comes across...  :-)

I just found this website the other day: http://www.aquariumdirect.com
I think it has some potential.  It's plant search engine isn't better than
Disky's, but I do like it, and it is nice to see pictures other than
Tropica's.

Anyway, as you can see, I asked them if they'd support the contest by
putting a link on their page.  It looks like they would love to, in exchange
for ????  Have we decided on whether  we're going to accept "sponsors"?
Obviously it's nothing for us to throw them onto our links page, but what if
they say they want a banner swap?  Anyone know if they've already contacted
the AGA through other channels?

I replied to Kevin already.  I just told him that I had to talk to you guys
about the best way for us to "benefit each other".
