Man some of you guys are just hellbent on keeping this about advertisements. It is my opinion that running ads are okay. It is also my opinion that if a community has grown big enough to make a large profit off of those ads they shouldn't be punished for it. At the same time, that is contingent on the server operators also maintaining a quality gaming experience. If you're one of those admins who tosses up several dozen servers, overloading your systems and trying to earn a buck? I have no sympathy for you.
1. Ads in the MOTD are okay. 2. Several ads jammed in to the MOTD are annoying, but okay I suppose. 3. Servers that redisplay the MOTD at any point OTHER than map cycle are abusive. 4. Servers that trick the system in to bringing new players in via Quickplay when they don't have any REAL players are abusive. That is all my opinion, of course.
