If you have a button on a page that then links to the ad.fly link, that
doesn't currently violate their terms, but lets face it, not many people are
going to click to view an ad when they can skip it without consquences.

It sounds like use of the "website entry script" on your normal MOTD
page would be perfectly legitimate.

I
toyed around with this idea when adfly was getting big, my account was
terminated without warning, and the terms were added to avoid issues like
that from happening.)

I’m trying out http://adf.ly via a custom-built system. Players click the
Skip Ad button after the 5-second timer expires and it closes the MOTD
window that way. It appears fine for most people most of the time, but not
for others.
Kinda annoying though, as closing the window relies on the page actually
displaying. I had to build a 15-second failsafe timer into it to
automatically close it.

Yeah I noticed that sometime it just takes a few sec to load. However, in
terms of pinion ads, there will be a new system for them enforced that may
cause server owners to force you to want the whole ad. The idea is that
they
will only pay for ads that have been completely watched. Anyways, what is
the URL you are trying to McKay? Maybe its an error with the page?

I might add that sometimes if you wait (several) seconds, it _might_
appear. I tend to click as fast as I can so as not to see the pinion ads.
Client side issue for sure, though.
