So Where Does The Ad Revenue Go To?

[SimonomiS]

Just wondering. Any answers?

Just a big pot, like those you throw your coppers into at the end of the day.

Apart from my villa in spain it goes towards hosting, domain names, scripting (vbulletin, backend, etc), freelance designers, game servers, competitions, rewards, etc. All the little things that keep the site going and for me to keep interest in it.

 

[SimonomiS]

Have Limelight/Valve stopped hosting it free?

 

[Munro]

Valve are hosting our web site at the moment aye but it used to be paid for by me. It's nice to be able to recover those costs. I'm currently paying for other projects such as sinepisodes.net at the moment too. Hopefully we'll have a file server one day if we ever make any money off the ads.

If we used a proper Ad system, with targetted ads etc - we might do a lot better than these godawful things.

Adverts. Since when did this site have adverts? And where are they?

freelance designers, game servers, etc.

Since when did HL2.net have those things. :|

Unless that was sarcasm..

I personally liked the "competitions and prizes" part...Say, how is the mailbag doing

 

[UltimaApocalypse]

What prizes?

 

[Vegeta897]

I'm with UA, since when did we have any of those things.

I remember we used to have a game server like a year ago, which wasn't really that worth it anyway, and then it was gone.

So let's see some of that stuff going...

 

[DigiQ8]

I demand prizes !
for every 1000 post the user gets a $500

 

[ríomhaire]

Well, there was the mailbag prize, and the banner competion...

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Cheques/prizes and everything is in the post...somewhere

 

[Evo]
