  Japanese DS games, however, so far are "Region free" and will work on your NTSC Nintendo DS. Always double check, they usally add this in the description on the item page.

Donating:
If you would like to donate to Ranch Story, click here. A good way to get a lot of recognition is by donating, we have an Elite Medal just for your act of kindness and generosity! ;]

Buying Games/Donating is extremely helpful to us, because we put the money back into the website by means of hosting, and Events (like sweepstakes)!

Well, I already help by posting info and such in the forums. But I could recommend the site to a few buds of mine. I have a number of friends who are fans of HM like myself, so I'll see what I can do as far as more viewers go. ^^

Oh, I'm going to buy Platinum from Amazon, I'll be sure to add the tag :D

Thanks Skarlet, there's a link on the main website you can just click. ;3

Besides "digg"ing you could also use stumble upon. It's sort of similar but instead of going to a website it's just a little toolbar that you can add onto firefox. You put in your interests and when you click on the "stumble" button it takes you to a random website. If you add your website to the stumbled sites you could get more viewers...

No problemo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif)
(I just hope it worked.... I also ordered some other things, and I added the tag)

There is a stumbleupon link/icon after you click comments on a news article. I was unable to add the articles to stumbleupon myself, but if it works for you, would you mind keeping an eye out for update and "stumble" them for me? That would be super awesome! Thanks! <3

hi I read you topic and I will do my beast to help you bye :jack_wink:

So the only way to donate money is to either send it through the mail or credit card? Bleeeh... Cannot do either really. They need to make it so you can pay through your bank account. :[

Paypal does bank accounts. =o That and debit cards.

Hmm.. Okay, will check it out right now. :D

Baw, if only I weren't 13 and my dad always see's what I'm spending with my debit card. >> I COULD just say it was something like the Wii Ware. Since he's pretty clueless. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Lol, well with the amount of money I now have in my account they won't notice 20 dollars or around there missing. I just have to figure out what numbers they're asking for before I do it. :S

Because of stupid Colorado tax laws, the tag is now ransto0d-20 instead of ransto-20, so please update your bookmarks! I updated the first post.

What do Colorado tax laws have to do with the name? I'm just curious.

Pretty much explains it. Amazon closed my account just because I live in Colorado.

*Added amazon and Playasia product search options.

Whoever just bought kingdom hearts through our referral link, you rock. <3

Why is that? Did something good happen? :D

It just means Ranch Story received a portion of the cost of the game.

If I click that link and buy 100 Classic Books, will it help?
Or anything for that matter. Can we bulk-order? I tend to order 4-5 items on Amazon when purchasing things.

Would it still count? I'll be willing to do this if so.
