We've got some really capitalist minds here... taking advantage of anything thinkable.

He posts in the Civ3 zone sometimes. Just look for one of the complaint threads about culture and you're likely to see him there.

this banner should be fixed.



"This is Apolyton Spyplane"

should be "This is the Apolyton Spyplane"

or "This is Apolyton's Spyplane"

of course, i don't like this banner that much anyways, i guess i don't get the joke

There are a lot of great ones. The members of the community came out and came up with a number of ads to help out Apolyton. Maybe Markos can start a banner ad company and ask us all to make him the ads - all proceeds going to pay for Apolyton's continued maintence.

i know that, i'm just pointing out that the grammer on this one is wrong.

When it first started Markos was offering 10% off to those who made banners that got used.

H Tower, the bad grammar is much funnier than if it was correct. It sounds more demanding

That last one goes over the line, it makes Poly look like a pro-nazi site.
