About the ad on the website.

Postby Ze_PilOt » 21 Feb 2014, 10:15

It's just a test.

I make a strong point not showing ads on FAF itself, but I'm testing if showing a little ad on the website could pay for the server.

So that ad will be in test for some weeks, then if it can be a viable option, I will make a poll, so you will be able to tell me if you are okay with it or not.

So don't worry about it, I'm not planning to put ads everywhere to make tons of money :)

I'm not even considering keeping it if it give me ton of money if you are not okay with it.

That's the banner below the movies? I didn't even see it untill i read this post and went looking for it. And adblock on my firefox deleted it. I'll check in the lobby when i get home.

EDIT:I have no problems with ads btw. If they are non invasive and relevant.

Banner ads and ads along the side are fine as long as they are static, silent and subtle.

No http://cdn-i.dmdentertainment.com/cracked/jp/ads05.gif crap, I'd rather have lots of ads over one bad one.

If you see that kind of ad, tell me so I can ban them.

i do not like ads of any kind. there are enough around. so you need more money? i do not understand. i thought it worked well. besides the charity event do you for your work need more help in form of money? i mean, ther is a) the server and the maintenance and the balance stuff and the integrating of the mods and so on and b) there is the galactic war thing.
for both of these we can spend money.
is the ad solution really the answer? well, you say yourself it is just a test.
personally, i hate those ads but i am not going to say that i am willing to pay in the future. i will pay even less when i see that stuff:

i am willing to donate but i am not willing to donate to prevent ads, i want to donate to get things going! and when there is not enough money, i donate for the maintenance and the running of the server but not for any galactic wars.

My opinion is that there is no need for such a junk. it degrades the whole feeling of the project.
good that you are going to ask what the community thinks about it.

maybe it is just me who can get a bit upset about this ad-crap, but i hate ads. especially thos like above. if they are starting even to blink, there will be a blocker in place.

Everyone sees the "What's new ?" page but not all know where to find this thread on the forums. Thus, I suggest you put a link to this forum thread on the "What's new ?" front page of FAF (right above the ad actually). That way it will be ensured that everyone knows about the thoughts behind the ad.
