Wow, that's easy :o

I have only heard good words about Opera, maybe I'll start using it too :p
Parent
I want to thank you :p

Opera is just amazing. I'm very stupid that I didn't used it before... No more ad's. Just a very nice layout :D
Parent
That's not very nice
Parent
Annoying the Crossfire users with these pointless ad's isn't nice either.
Parent
I e-hate you, you are retard and your text above is as retarded as it can be, but still, these new add places are chosen very bad, and as you said, simply to annoy users.

"In your face" type of ad's just don't work, users rather hide them and never ever click them.
Parent
Do I care? No.
Parent
Annoying the Crossfire admins with this whine isn't nice either. Give and take, boyo.
Parent
Tosspot is just trying to get some money for cpc3.
Parent
Tip for Opera: DON'T USE IT. Just use Firefox, much and much better than every other browser...
Parent
I used both for a while, and Opera is MUCH "safer" (popupblocking and stuff) than FireFox
Parent
No, those ads aren't needed. As Crossfire has got SPONSORS, they aren't in the need of advertisements from google!

What about CPC3? If you wanna go, just pay it for urself, or even let the spectators pay 1-5 euro's to spectate... It will give you more money than those fucking useless ads... ;[

Oh btw, I know that not everything is free, I've got a webhost too. But as Crossfire is sponsored, they are not in the need of fucking Google banners. Simple.
Crossfire aint the World Cup, get a reality check.
Parent
Well... I can run a site, on a simple webhost (well, what should it cost, lets say 20 euros a month), like this, without any problems.

You wanna have some extra's like lans, ok. But let the players pay for it, and don't get your site visitors annoyed.
Parent
then i want to know where you can host that cause having 200/300GB or probably more traffic a month will not even come close to 20 euro's a month
Parent
It depends on what host mate. I've got a 100mbit flatfee connection for about 120 euros a month (colocated).

Get some brains, instead of the shit in ur head.. :)
Parent
thats not 20
Parent
No but its 100mBit FLATFEE.
Parent
and sponsors ofc will pay thousands of euro's for LAN's, webhosting and all the other stuff needed to keep Crossfire running. You dear sir, are a retard.
Parent
Thousands of euro's for a LAN? Don't make me laughing mate. There are cheap options to get a LAN for 3 days. Maybe don't take some luxe shit, but take some cheaper shit and take your own pc with you. It's just possible to get a cheaper LAN anyway.
Parent
ever heard of prizes? else clans wont even come to LAN's, atleast not the best teams. And BYOC is really not even close to an option. atleast not for the ppl that are coming from eastern europe and sometimes even further.

maybe you should use your brain first, instead of just talk shit when u dont know what you are talking about
Parent
I'm not talking shit. For prizes, you have got SPONSORS. Maybe you should look @ wikipedia what SPONSOR means...
Parent
you really are retarded...

TEAMS WANT MONEY, CASH, DOLLARS OR EURO's.

and not a lot of sponsors will give you cash money as prizes for a LAN
Parent
you obviously haven't seen the bill for cpc1 or cpc2 ;)
Parent
some people just dont realize what is needed for a big LAN like CPC....
Parent
No, but CPC is going for luxe shit. Just get a location with some benches etc, and take ur own pc with you. It's much cheaper...
Parent
And BYOC is really not even close to an option. atleast not for the ppl that are coming from eastern europe and sometimes even further.
Parent
And you'd have no teams attending :/

Check the prize funds for sHg & CPC, then check the teams in attendance.
Parent
sHG is a bigger lan than CPC is. There are more ppl over there anyway..
Parent
Check again :)
Parent
id perfer to have some ads for a few months then have a proper lan thats actually run well, instead of run cheaply
Parent
Adds are ok, but not on annoying places imo...
Parent
"Ads are fine as long as I don't see them"

:)
Parent
Also ok :p
Parent
Well, I saw them on main page (sometimes even accidentally clicked on em), now I don't.
Parent
those sponsors dont cover tosspots alcohol bill :)
Parent
What's the difference if as the first "comment" you see an add instead of a random xfire idiot saying "LOLOLO"?
I think the add positioning is great, you have to scroll the comment page anyway...
agree, now we just need ad journals, cuz they are better than random no content journals
Parent
My point is:

Crossfire is a oganisation with a big name in the gaming community, right? Why should a organistion like Crossfire use these annoying ad's when they can get biggers sponsors like ATi sponsored the Crossfire team on Qcon.
Most of the Crossfire users were annoyed by these ad's, and now they are placed in a even more shittier place which annoy people even more.
If Crossfire really needs the money then they can easily get big sponsors in stead of using these bullshit ad's.

I doubt that the money from these Google ad's will be used for the CPC 3, like you just said it's more for the maintenance of the website server.

If you want a nice and succesfull CPC 3, then I suggest you donate some money and find sponsors for the CPC3.
sponsoring a team is for sponsors a complete different thing then sponsoring a website.
Parent
QuoteIf Crossfire really needs the money then they can easily get big sponsors in stead of using these bullshit ad's.


So what do you suppose is the motive for these ads? Use your head, if Crossfire had as much disposable income as you seem to think, then there wouldn't be any advertisements here, but there are advertisements - so what does that mean? Think about it.
Parent
You seem to be under the impression that sponsors throw money at us.
Parent
Admit it would be nice :P :D
