[Happy DODs player]

@Dr:

Yes this is to bad. It worked very well. Now we have a full 30 seconds also sadly.

To bad you just started and this happens so you ar gone drop it instand? Or gone try it out.

If we all stand together and don't use pinion or Motdgd, do you really think they will force the 30 seconds??

We are the one responsible for this forced 30 seconds and I wouldn't be surprised if in 5 years, we are forced to see 3 mins of ads in-game just like TV.

I swear that as soon as Motdgd will force 30 secs, ill drop the plugin into the garbage like I did with pinion 6 months ago.

You guys might want to look into different options. I tried Adsense in motd and managed to do 30 clicks per day. That's ~20$

It's actually advertisers than want people to watch their ads, we dynamically adjust the timer based on content length. As of right now 40% of our ads in rotation are 15 second, however this changes daily.

No matter what people use, they will be unhappy with it in some aspect.

For every person that watches an advert, add them to a raffle. Once 1000 impressions are hit, initiate the raffle. Incentive and motivation.

What're you going to raffle off that's worth less than $2.50 and doesn't take a majority of the funds?

(For TF2) Hats, hats, hats! If I was entered automatically into raffles after watching an advert, and the more times I watched an advert, the more times I was entered into the raffle, I'd watch them all the time. Win, win for all. Alternatively, you could record who reaches the threshold percentage, and give all those players a few non-game-breaking perks on the server, like aesthetics etc. That'd cost you nothing, and the user would get some nice features as a way of saying thank you.

If properly advertised to the user so they don't rage quit once they see an ad, this could work.
