Title: Cost Concern
Post by: Valathous on January 12, 2002, 08:15:03 am: No offense to the Planeshift team but i see no way you can afford servers. You have no ads on your site greatfully! Where is all this money coming from to pay for servers? Can we have a private server for paying customers with special features? Im just a bit curious of how this is going to work out. Thank you once again! :D

Post by: Firestorm on January 13, 2002, 08:59:47 am: You should know that we have many plans for putting up servers, and staying within a reasonable budget. The concern is appreciated, however we hope to have no financial problems.

Thank you :)

Post by: Valathous on January 13, 2002, 09:13:20 am: Thekkur, sorry if I mispelled that, yeah banners are fine, popups are really bad. If you do get sponsors heres what to get and not to get:

Not To Get-
Flashing Or bright color banners
Online casinos
Insurance, or adult interested things

To Get
Video game/pc game related banners
Dvd\'s/movies
Any mid teen age interests would be good!

Those things you posted will ofcourse not be taken into concideration. And maybe we\'ll not have any banners at all. They don\'t pay off that good.

Post by: Thekkur on January 13, 2002, 04:17:36 pm: hehehe, you guys get me. this kind of posts makes that grey mass in your skull work. after all you ARE behind a PC, which doesn\'t require much thinking at all, your brains might become jelly when you don\'t use them. Besides, it gives you the chance to pump your post-count up.
