The issue is, the ads aren't going to be 5 seconds anymore, they're going to be longer, and payouts from pinion will come from the completion rate, which to make any money off of it, has to be over 60%.
The older ads will still be possible but I believe the profit will be cut by over 90%. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jesse Oak To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2012 1:46 AM Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2 MOTD Browser If the players don't like it they won't player there. I don't see the problem here, players get to pick where they play if they don't like the ads they will leave. As others have already stated there are plenty of players who don't mind watching a short ad to help pay for server cost. A lot of younger players don't have a way to donate money to servers so why not let them donate in this way?

I may not necessarily have a large network of public servers, but I'm sure I'm not alone when it comes to the thought that not everyone is a charity. What may not work for you doesn't have to be the way other people do things. You can run your servers as you see fit, as can anyone else, including people who use Pinion ads. If you don't like it, too bad. This is life. Now, while it's hypocritical of me to ask that you actually get back to contributing to the discussion, it does need to be asked. So can you do that for us please? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pizza" <[email protected]> To: "Hlds Servers(win32)" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2012 11:16:16 PM Subject: [hlds] TF2 MOTD Browser If you need to run ad’s in the MOTDs to keep your servers running then just shut down your server(s). You’re doing it wrong. You are not serving the gaming community if the community isn’t making donations. I have never had any problems getting players to donate to the cause. Mike Vail (a.k.a. BOOM!

It’s obviously a major failure based on the rankings of your servers… http://www.gametracker.com/search/?query=boom%21&=GO People play games to play games not to help you have your little power trip.
