YOU are BigBlueInteractive.
Celebrating our 20th season, BBI continues to be the premier fan-operated New York Giants website. We remain a small operation – a sole proprietorship with a handful of writers, moderators, and a technical specialist.
Your financial donation right now will support:
* The best Giants fan forum in the world.
* Daily news updates with all the latest and most important information on your favorite team in one convenient location.
* New York Giants NFL Draft coverage.
* New York Giants Free Agency coverage.
* OTA, Mini-Camp, and Training Camp Reports.
* Game Previews and Reviews.
* Regularly updated Roster, Depth Chart, Transactions, Scouting Reports, and Player Salaries.
* New York Giants Team History and Photographs.
In addition, in 2014, we have added our own beat reporter, Connor Hughes, to cover New York Giants practices and games in person. Connor will provide live updates and regular original content throughout training camp, the preseason, and the regular season.
Contribution Campaign
Chances are BBI has become an important part of your life. Whether you post every day or just enjoy the articles, never forget that you make BBI what it is. If no one posted to The Corner Forum, what kind of site would we be? What if no one read the articles? What if no one contributed financially to BBI?
BBI is a community.
BBI has been around so long that many of us take it for granted. But BBI costs money to run. BBI is free for everyone to use and enjoy regardless of your ability to give. If you do have the means to give, we rely on your financial contribution during this one time of year to continue operating.
And please remember, our costs (money and time) are annual, and so must our contribution requests. That’s why we need our regular readership to contribute each year.
When to Contribute? This year’s campaign will run from July 20 until September 14.
How Much to Contribute? Whatever you feel comfortable contributing.
How Should You Contribute? If you are interested in contributing, you can do so via PayPal or by mailing a check via regular mail.

What do people usually donate?

measure it against other things in your entertainment budget. What do you spend on movies, newspapers, downloads, and how much time do you spend with them? And how much time do you spend on BBI? Allocate it fairly for BBI and you should come out OK.
This is my rationale as well. I enjoy this site more than my other subscriptions (wsj, prime, netflix).
Eric- you and the mods do a good job. You will have my money by month end.
My eyes usually skim over the stickies, so I originally almost missed this post.
One email blast to your database may drum up more interest, and I highly doubt anyone would feel annoyed/spammed by it.
Just a thought.

OntheRoad...all you need to do is click on the PayPal link on the contribution page.
you give the optimist view and the pessimist view, but you don't say which side that you are on. Do you believe, as do almost 60% of BBI voters, that the Giants will win at least ten games this year? Especially with the news on Beason?
Somehow I doubt that you do.
The Giants need more pessimistic fans because they always play their best when they are given no shot. Last season John Clayton picked the Giants to win it all again. I knew right then that we had no chance.
You have done an amazing job with this site. Just looking at the quality and the quantity of the ads here from just a couple of years ago. And you have achieved semi-formal recognition from the Giants' organization. Expect to see you on the air with Hanlon and Papa very soon.
Pretty soon you can quit your day job.
New offensive coaches, almost completely gutted offensive side of the team...there is going to be a transition period/learning curve there. On defense, will there be a pass rush?
The one thing the Giants have going for them is the NFC East may not be very good. Not sure what to make of Philly...Foles was unbelievably good last year.
As for quitting my regular job? I wish. But BBI has never been a bit money-maker. It's why I ask for donations each year.
I don't blame you for starting a threaded forum
LOL. Actually I think that was the single most significant enhancement of the site.
thanks again and this remains the only site on the internet that I continue to "pay" for.
If you have not done so, please consider doing so. Every dollar is critical to keep the site going.
Thank you!
Not sure if that makes sense. The bulk of readers are not registered members of the forum. And many e-mail addresses of registered members are no longer valid.
