Thanks for thinking about the site. It's most appreciated.
That's how it stays funded. (Or at least in theory, that's how it works)
We have affiliate programs with all Amazon outlets, they're just not live yet. Should somebody leave a link on the site, back-end catch-all code will append the affiliate link anyway. The chat bar at the bottom of the screen has been in "beta' stage for most of this year, because it's never fully worked properly. Coincidentally, I'm working on a new chat bar today, as well as testing a "chat box" type interface for the homepage, visible only to logged-in CPS members. So we'll have private and public chat.
We have affiliates with several stores, actually, and those need to be added for our TV show buyers.
