Why are we fighting over MOTD ads and not fighting over FAKE PLAYERS,
the whole reason this was started,

are aware of this but the GoDaddy girls don't have a damn thing to do with
the Super Bowl. Do you feel this dilutes the NFL Brand?

How is partnering with pinion any different than Taco Bell selling Choco
tacos from klondike, Mountain Dew, or Doritos Taco Shells?
My servers are the best servers because I monitor them offer the best
plugins my users prefer and promote regular events where I give away
prizes from the money pinion pays me.
Sooo... Diluted it is not. I have never got pissed at a restaurant cause
they didn't make their own soda. Its cheaper and allows them to make a
greater profit. I don't see people protesting.

The difference is Red Bull is going out and promoting themselves. You're
not promoting yourself when you show an ad in your motd. Instead you're
promoting someone else and diluting your community brand.
I feel like this crosses a line where you're no longer trying to run a
community, but rather run a business. At that point it seems like the
players are being used to feed the business instead of persuaded to stay
by running a place that is welcoming and fun.
This is my gut feeling as a player. I also feel like this reflects
poorly on not only the server, but on Valve as the developer for
allowing this in the game. I can't imagine that was their intention
when they put in the web browser for the motd.

You think Red Bull are idiots for having plane races, modifiying mini
coopers, hiring models, buying a arena football team, hiring a man to
jump a ramp on a motorcycle on New Years Eve and running thousands of ads
until every single one of us cannot possibly forget the phrase "Red Bull
Gives You Wings"?!?
Well sir you need an education in Economics 101 or you better start
thinking about what trade school you want to attend.
