Letter To My Dear Audience…

Just a short intermezzo :) I would personaly like to thank all of you for your constant contributions and comments that make this community so wonderfull. My dear visitors, You are the ones that give me will and inspiration to push this website forward! I know I rarely “talk” with you if I’m not advertising my affiliates or trying to expand my traffic. But hey, just wanted to thank you this time unconditionally and give you opportunity to express your thoughts, ideas and critiques concerning Mighty Optical Illusions and my work.

Feel free to comment whatever interests you. I read all of your comments (someone has to approve them, right ;) and they greatly influence my future actions. Maybe I don’t answer every email or comment, but be sure that I have all of them back in my head, and that they give me directions in what am I doing right, and what am I doing wrong.

Lately many of you asked if I have MySpace site, and if they can add me to their friends list. Well, unfortunatly I don’t, but here’s an opportunity for you to advertise your MySPace sites, post your links freely under comments, and exchange friendship among other Optical Illusion fans. I posted some usefull MySpace tools in the sidebar for you.

More, I had plans to start a forum for this website, but there are some technical difficulties. If you have will to start forum for our site, or have free hosting of some sort, we can maybe work something out. Also it would be nice then to see some of my loyal visitors become forum moderators ;) Feel free to apply!

There are many ideas in my head, and time is on our side. Many nice things will happpen in weeks to come; I promise! If you like this site and want to support it, simply share it with your firends and help our community to grow even larger! Those of you that run websites, you can mention us in one of your posts, and in return we can post your link inside links section. If you have big website like ours, we can even do sitewide link exhange where your link would appear in our sidebar.

Mighty Illusions has grown to over 25,000 unique visitors per day, and was assigned PR6 by Google. If your stats are simmilar, be sure to drop us an email and we can arrange something. For every game that you buy from our Mac Games and Games section, we receive small percentage, and that is a great way to support us. I would like to thank you again for all those games you bought, and for all your kind optical illusion submissions! Notice that many are still marked as unread in my mail box and are just waiting for their turn. So don’t think we are ingoring you ;)

In the conclusion, our next goal is to establish quility forum for this site, exchange links with simmilar websites, provide more games, post more quality illusions, and be more in touch with you! If you have any ideas, if you are willing to administrate an add-free forum, if you have positive criticism, want to wish us all the best or simply ask “where are my shoes” like Bob asks all the time in comments, be sure to let us know ;)

  1. Have you thought about publishing a (coffee table) book?
    Waterproof plastic pages would be cool.

    Keep on truckin, my man!

  2. Nice to here from you this way, i just have to say keep up the (hard)work!
    i cant make a forum for you but perhaps i can contribute with some illusion again in the near future.

    anyway, love your (is it only yours, cause you speak of “we”…) site and i will come back everyday for my daily dose of illusion!

    and i also love that anamorphic illusion you put on this post…. must be a Felici Varini.

    cheers!

  3. I agree with Floyd Mongo, you should look into publishing a book. You have a massive database, and you also have the names of the people that submitted to this database. Thanks for writing to us, and keep up the excellent work.

  4. Hey, im a constant reader but i dont comment… good job on being the biggest illusion database on the net :) keep up the good illusions… uve got fans all over the world (i live in china)

  5. Vurdlak,

    if you don’t want to host the forums yourself, you could use phpbber, or aceboard. i just knew about those, a google search for remotely hosted forums found:

    proboards
    phpBB-Host (the link that says: Signup for a phpBB forum doesn’t work. it should go here.)
    Free Forum Boards
    ForumCo
    ezboard
    FreePowerBoards

    i stopped because i am tired of searching. the services i listed are all free. maybe you should make me a moderator when the forums are up and running ;)

    Bravery Onions

  6. People keep saying that some of your illusions are “photoshopped”. What is that? if it is something for mac, than please let me know. GO POSSUMS

  7. GO POSSUMS!

    If you dont have an answer yet, possum, photoshop is a program you can edit and create images on, and you can get it on macs and pcs.

    GO POSSUMS

  8. I love the site, love the widget, whenever i log on to my laptop, this is the first thing i do. Keep the illusions coming, they are amazing, the site is amazing.

  9. Hi, We LOVE your site. I looked at it and then my husband got sucked in, too. :-)
    But…when we click on it to learn more we don’t get any information on it.
    Are we doing something wrong?

  10. Thanks, Vurdlak (did I get that right?) I love your site. ps I am looking at every op illusion on this website. Wish me luck!
