they have to pay for a server.

 

[Newbie's Journey]

how do they store our messages, news, videos and stuffs ? do they rent some space online ? is it free ? or how ??

I would like to see how to run a website ?? is it like a business ?? do website operators get paid a little, a lot or not at all ??

 

[ytinupmi]

Im pretty sure valve/limelight is taking care of that.

No, there's no internet fairy that goes around and pays people who create successful websites...

 

[ytinupmi]

yes there is, it's called advertising revenue. how do you think most websites stay afloat without requiring users to pay?

 

[Letters]

Haha, he just said there's an internet fairy.

 

[subtlesnake]

Limelight provides the hosting for free.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Do we get paid?


HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sorry.

(also moved to right forum)

 

[The Dark Elf]

damn you Pi, moving it seconds before I tried

 

[Munro]

A business? Getting paid? I wish...

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Pfft, everyone knows that you sit atop HL2.net towers, surrounded by piles of gold, fine art, Cuban cigars and very cheap whores!

 

[The Dark Elf]

Chris_D once told me he gets paid in kind though, whats that about

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Like I said, cheap whores. I never specified gender.

[cadaveca]

The site brings in a very small amount of advertising revenue from the Google Ads.

It is true that we have no costs for running this place apart from the domain name and vBulletin licence, but to put it in perspective on how little Munro gets for the Google adverts, I think he's barely recouped his costs so far and we've had the adverts up for about 8 months now.

EDIT: Just read the whole thread. Everyone's ganging up on me this week! Valve have made everyone think I'm a spy, they made me do a misprint on a news post on a CS:Source update - making it look like I can make misprints when just copy and pasting the news from their site, Munro's made everyone think I dress like a carrot and now I'm a cheap man-whore :|

When it comes to working on HalfLife2.net, that's about as far as the luxury goes, I'm afraid

You mean to say that none of that stuff is true!!!! :O


I feel used....

Chris_D for President.

I think Prime Minister would be better for him.

 

[Homie]

OK here i have my own site i just started for fun admins dont get paid on my forum. If you want to start a website like this go with a hosting company. http://ab-hosting.com

Heres my site http://hlinfo.uni.cc

 

[Axyon]

Of course, we might be under Jolt's control by now if Munro had succumbed to their offers... what they were we will never know (or never want to know, probably )

 

[ComradeBadger]

Chris_D wears ladies undies!

 

[Homie]

Yes you do need to pay for website like this. Is it smart to have a host? Yes it is i think everyone should host with a hosting company so then they can put hl2 videos on servers.

 

[Adrien C]

We were having a perfectly clean thread, and you had to tag along

In the past couple weeks HL2.net has become more buisness like, as for making money, there are some things happening, can't say much, except "soon".
