Yes and that other way mainly seems to be giving out perks, which seems
worse then ads IMO, as I have stated on this email list before. I could
also charge to play, meaning you have to pay to come on my servers. Yet
even better, lets make it so you have to buy addons and services, $1 for
mic use, $10 to get unbanned, and better yet $20/month for admin.
Yeah, I think ads aren't that bad. If you do then you really should take
a look at them before just going ewww gross.
My community is mainly f2p and we are a newer community, meaning no we
don't have those lovely players from the old generation. I also tried
doing it differently and it didn't work. Chargeback scams and such were
hitting us and I really was going to shut down the servers. Pinion sorta
kept us alive and lowered the cost. I'm still working to be ballenced,
but in a modern f2p environment, donations rarely come.

That's what you said, and, it's meaning is perfectly clear with no
other possible context.
Either it's a fallacious statement (i.e there isn't always another
way) or it's an accurate one, in which case it
suggests there is an answer to Cameron's earlier dilemma "How else
would you suggest a server make money? "
Well, Cameron, there's always another way. Ask Frank :)
