[An Idea] [Dont know if anyone had before]

[brasileira]

I was wandering around SoD website and notice that the server found are in a light green positions, and when i first start was on emergency.
SoD only have support of their only players, right?
I was visiting fomelo also, notice they had around 180 thousands views, now what if Wiz decided to add an annoucement of google.com or any other company that would desire to publicy their announcements over SoD?
well 180k visits since fomelo was created is alot of views... if you just add a simple code to the page of each character like they did with the new search form over the AAs.. would be great..
and SoD would have a small but sure donation for the server and the new games Wiz is creating!

probably someone else had this idea, but ive searched it and didnt found it

SOD can't be for profit. Only form of financing allowed is donations.

 

[brasileira]

Not going to be profitable
dont even need to..
only to upgrade the server, bandwitch, any future problems with hardware & software, any employee trying to sue =P

 

[BeittilBonker]

adds & banners and whatnot are a bad idea!

ps... can i suggest that you, from now on, put the baseline of your idea in the topic? thats what they are for after all!
topics like these are so bad, they give like no clue as to what the topic will be about!

Re: Advertising on the website for profit

If SoD had any advertising on the site and made money from it, it would be illegal. The result would be cOmPaNy suing and shutting down SoD FOREVER. We wouldn't want that, now would we?

 

[Thinkmeats]

to play devil's advocate, SoD can't make money, but fomelo isn't quite the same as SoD

 

[excuseme]

And anyway, what if the excess was just donated to a legit, documented charity each month? or used to upgrade bandwidth, etc?

Turn donating to play SoD into a "cause", and that might get more people to donate, even.

Also - what's the difference between coming out ahead one month on donations, vs coming out ahead one month because of banner clicks? aren't both way technically "making money"?
