ive been contacted by them myself, he was telling me that the plugin needs to be on 'custom' type TF2 servers over vanilla due to the latest update blocking the motd in vanilla type servers or something other... it sounds too good to be true. offered $7 CPM, said that he gets paid $10 CPM and he

My apologies, my reading comprehension was not working. Please ignore my previous message. I would be leery of anyone sending out a sourcemod plugin without giving the source code out, just because of what it can do. On Sun, Apr 7, 2013 at 5:08 PM, Cc2iscooL wrote: > I think they're likely mor

I think you are looking for this one because its audio advertising. I also didn't like pinion because it used to pay good before but now I hardly even pay for 1 server with it and players dont like the forced ads either.

Do you know any alternatives to pinion, which is dedicated ad networks for games/well integrated into source-games? Otherwise, this could be a good time to make a alternative with non-intrusive ads but same "work methods" as pinion. 2013/4/7 Harsh Baid > Just finished talking with him. Apparen
