General Chat / Servers with ads
« on: June 30, 2010, 04:39:37 AM »
With mid summer starting and wild party's making me want to calm my life down a bit I'm hopping to start up the old gmod servers and make them better faster and stronger than before.
I also hope to make make them self sufficient money wise.
If you haven guessed already I'm hoping to use advertising to cover the costs of running the servers. This should be possible in theory since the source engine allows html to be displayed ingame.
Here are my questions.
1. Would it really work? I'm not entirely sure the ads will function properly in the game.
2. How would you feel if the server you were playing on had ads? I wouldn't want pop ups or anything that would actively distract you from the game however I still need it to get attention.
3. Hopefully this would be able to cover the costs of upgrading my bandwidth. Do you think this would make enough money per month to cover my bill?
