You have got to get this stuff working!
How do I place my ad for the Souvenir Shop on the playa next year?

I apologize for the inconvenience, we're working on the broken links. We rely on our advertisers to supply valid URLs to us and it doesn't always happen. Not all of the links are affected, be sure to try them all.

If you have a product or service you wish to advertise on Eplaya, send me a PM and I will be happy to send you an application and price list.

I have a bug to report: THERE ARE ADS ON EPLAYA!

WTF, is the a press release explaining this? I'm really saddened by it...

OK. Still sad tho'. Does this mean people can start advertising stuff in the forums? Or just if they pay money?

I don't know what happened, I was just having fun ordering stuff and when I went to order the following...

40 beyond belief posters
103 burningman 98 posters
300 burningman calendar
16 Desert to dream books
240 hope and fear posters
etc...$10,281. I think i want to cancel my order how do I proceed. My visa account shows the money is set aside but not delivered

We need to subtract the kickbacks first, please be patient as the non-refundable portion of your order is processed.

I have received a confirmation from inticketing. I tried to cancel the order but I get a reply saying all orders are final. I tried to contact a support specialist but no one is there today.

what do I do...$10,231 pending on my visa.... deep breaths...

The ads are fun and specifically tailored to my consumer needs. Thanks, you guys, on today of all days!

They can claim it was April fools, but I'm going to blindly stick to my belief that my dissapointment caused them to think better of it.

The Souvenir Shop on the playa is no joke.
Someone has to do it.
Join us.

'No Commerce Zone' T-shirts will be for sale.

I honestly thought nobody would mind a few nondescript ads on the top of the pages. You don't expect us to spend all this time maintaining the site for free, do you?

But your words touched me deeply, and made me see the error in my ways. The ads are no more.
